So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

I thought Voyager supports piefed now?

[–] nebajoth@piefed.ca 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I guess I'm bad at logging in. Thanks.

Hm, perhaps your instance needs to update to a newer version? I notice that it's on 1.4.6, while Piefed.social is currently running version 1.5.3

EDIT: Ah, nevermind, 1.4.6 is only a couple weeks old! I was thinking of the gap in those releases in relation to Lemmy's, where that would be a massive difference.

Is voyager updated to the latest release?

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I have Voyager 2.43.2 which is the latest on fdroid and also the latest stable release on GitHub. Maybe it is on the blahaj side?

[–] CafeFrog@lemmy.cafe 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Hm, could be. Very strange it isn't working for you :\

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I can login to blahaj on blorp and summit piefed clients, just not Voyager.

I had to sign up for the experimental bug test version of Voyager to gain access to piefed compatibility, though that was several months ago now; not sure if it's been added to the main version yet or not. I haven't had any issues using the experimental version.

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It does. The only thing I miss compared to the Lemmy experience is that "auto fill title" does not work yet when link posting. However, most of the PieFed features aren't integrated into Voyager yet, so it will be similar to the Lemmy experience but you will miss out a lot of PieFed stuff.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago

Ah, good to know. I'm already pretty happy with the lemmy voyager experience for just passive scrolling, and mostly do anything important (mod actions, longer comments, etc) on desktop anyway, so for me at least, that switch would be pretty seamless. Though hopefully Voyager supports more piefed features in the future!
