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

    Clearly it's polarizing. Clearly anyone spinning up a new instance certainly would know what site of that fence they fall on.

    Uh, out of the top 10 instances by monthly active users (https://fedidb.com/servers) it looks like 5 federate with them and 5 don't.

    Edit: I was mistaken, it was 4 do and 6 don't. But still, clearly not universal and tons of people are able to coexist just fine with them.

    Huh?

    lemmy.ml lemmy.zip lemmy.dbzer0.com discuss.tchncs.de

    I suppose you're talking about .ml but that's only 1 of 4.

    lemmy.zip if I recall has a sort of soft-block in that new users are warned about those instances and offered to block them. I was told about 50% of lemmy.zip users block them.

    I can find the conversation with an instance admin if you like but yes, it reportedly automatically blocks those for users and provides instructions for how to remove them, making seeing their content as opt-in rather than having to be opt-out, and thus the PieFed.zip instance is truly Newbie-friendly.
