[–] ambitiousslab@feddit.uk 29 points 9 months 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. permalink fedilink source parent
[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 22 points 9 months ago (3 children) 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 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago AI image real ICE vehicles are unmarked permalink fedilink source parent [–] flameleaf@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 child) Are there any plans to improve Piefed's RSS feeds?

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] BossDj@piefed.social 4 points 9 months ago I love the grouped comments.

[–] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 9 months 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. permalink fedilink source parent
