Lots of venture capital money behind it. I wonder how quickly the enshitification will begin.

Idk, I think there are also legitimate arguments for piefed !

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Doesn't piefed have that controversial hardcoded blocklist? I've heard that meme communities and similar are filtered out using hardcoded keywords matched aganst community name.

Why hardcode this??? Imposing your preferences on everyone seems like a bad idea.

Piefed and Lemmy are basically the same thing on different websites

They're all in the same network

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We can have both, thats allowed :)

(That was the point of my comment 😊)

Haven't tried piefed so I can't say.

What's piefed? I looked at it and mostly saw lemmy instances.

[–] ambitiousslab@feddit.uk 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's an alternative to Lemmy with some different features. Since it uses the same protocol under the hood, its instances federate with Lemmy. There's more info on the differences here.

It's like Lemmy, but it has more features because the devs aren't tankies and they actually do work instead of just denying genocides all day

Are there any plans to improve Piefed's RSS feeds? I primarily browse through Thunderbird, and Lemmy's feeds are a lot more content-rich

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 10 points 23 hours ago

Sounds like a good question for @rimu@piefed.social

To add to the other comment, the fucking blocking functionality just works.

On Lemmy it's half assed so you can't completely defed/block:

  • If someone crossposts it to another instance it appears on the feed
  • If you (as a normal user) block an instance you still see the crossposts and their users

On piefed you have many block options and they just work.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

This is just off the top of my head.

Grouping comments of the same posts posted on different comms for one.

Keyword filtering to fade or outright block.

Idk if filtering is in Lemmy, but grouping comments definitely isn't.

[–] BossDj@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago

I love the grouped comments. I scroll through the comments on once instance, then I reach the next one and you can genuinely see the shift in priorities between communities. It's pretty cool
