I read through the differences with Lemmy and nothing really convinced me right off the bat. For what reasons do you personally prefer piefed?

Actual instance blocking
holy shit that’s metal af why is that not the first thing on the list
Because I haven’t updated that page in about a year.
There’s been soooo many new features since then but I have a hard time knowing what people new to PieFed really need to know about…
Actual instance blocking
Does it also have actual user blocking too i.e. two way?
Yes
Oh, might have to give it a look then. Since that is our biggest gripe with lemmy.
https://piefed.blahaj.zone/ is there for you
Yeah, we hadn’t considered it until now, but if it does has two way blocking we might move over. Is there any source saying it does have that feature, and do existing lemmy apps work with it, or do we need a whole new app?
For apps there is Voyager, Summit, Blorp and Mlem who support Piefed
For the blocking feature documentation, @[email protected] is there something? I had a look for 5 minutes but couldn’t find anything
Lets grow the amount of servers to 40!
beehaw 🙏 pls
not me holding myself back to spin up a piefed server
I am still waiting for some Voyager fixes, then I’ll switch forever
Oh wow, Voyager supports Piefed? Great, I can uninstall these other apps then.
I’m using Blorp for my piefed and lemmy accounts and it’s working pretty well.
I’ve been using it full time for a while now! I sometimes forget I’m not just using Lemmy
What’s the difference between Lemmy and Piefed?Nvm. Found exactly what I was looking for here
Nature is healing :)
Are there any good piefed apps yet? I’d love to make the switch but I havent seen anything pop up on F-Droid yet
Piefed works with Voyager!
Fr?? I had no idea. You might’ve just switched me LOL
Yes! Just need to sign up for the beta. It works relatively well. Not all the features are on yet but it’s developing rapidly (Piefed & Voyager both) and it’s been daily usable for me.
Summit, Blorp, Mlem and Interstellar also have Piefed support as well.
If you need an instance; quokk.au is a smaller instance that’s been running for over 2 years now (on Lemmy originally but switched to PieFed).
Interstellar, Voyager, Summit, Blorp, Mlem
Whatever happened to the Thunder fork - I never hear any news of it these days despite it having been started first?
It ended up being more of a proof-of-concept than anything. I forked Thunder by banging my fists on the keyboard until it worked, rather than actually learn anything about Flutter/Dart or proper app development. As soon as another Flutter app came along (Interstellar), I leapt at the chance to abandon it.
Hrm… so just like all software development then? 😜
@[email protected] was working on it, based on his profile he’s probably on vacation
I’m not on vacation - I just tend to use this account instead.
Noted! By the way, any chance you could restart [email protected] ?
Nope. I don’t agree with cm0002’s campaign of reposting everything posted to a lemmy.ml community to a community hosted elsewhere, so I don’t want to run a bot that suggests there’s genuine growth somewhere when I consider any growth there to be driven by bullshit. The bot was never sophisticated enough to distinguish between the two.
Hm, I see. Fair point
He deserves it, and I hope he comes back well rested:-).
Say, which would you recommend? Maybe I’ll take a look into them all. As a Jerboa user, I reckon support might not come (afaik Jerboa is an official Lemmy client). I just vibe with Jerboa’s simplicity. Not gonna get overwhelmed with options and features here. Plus, it looks good!
Voyager or Summit? It’s up to personal preference mostly, the other ones are good option too!
Waiting for Boost to support it, then I’m moving.
Me too!
Will we ever be able to put pictures in comments?
Like upload or just link? Because you can link with
Upload I mean. On Lemmy / Voyager I just click the image icon and select a modest sized image.
I can understand them not having the option as it costs money. Facebook can clearly afford it but we can’t. Maybe it could be a premium option in the future.
Hmm, it works on piefed.zip in Summit on Android. Maybe that’s a policy with your instance? It’s possible that your client doesn’t have that as an option. Last I tried I couldn’t figure out how to upload in Interstellar.
Aah OK that’s good to know. I’m currently using the PWA. I’ll try Summit and report back.
Options in Summit: Preview, Drafts, ¯_(ツ)_/¯, text emojis, **bold **, italics,
scratch thatand > that’s what she said.No image option, so maybe it’s just Piefed.social that doesn’t have images.
For what it’s worth, I see it in the bottom bar and I had to swipe almost all the way to the right to see the icon.
You’re right! I didn’t realise that the bar was able to move. Thanks for your help!
Now to explore Summit…
