Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?
Some additional features that PieFed has:
That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/
Awesome! Definitely need to check that out.
It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/
Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.
Of course it isn't perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don't like the Lemmy devs' political views.
Though it is a bit opinionated, it's good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.
