I just signed up for lemmy (brand new here). Can someone help explain piefed? I looked it up and it seems it used the same protocalls? I downloaded voyager app to use Lemmy - do I need to do something else to use piefed? I'm sort of confused, because a cursory search sounds like piefed works on voyager as well. . . If I'm already on Lemmy, am I basically also on piefed, just a different instance?

Sorry, hopefully someone who is smarter can eli5?

    Same protocol, yes, so they share all the same content. And a lot of apps originally built for Lemmy now work with PieFed too. Voyager is one of them so if you have an account on a PieFed server/instance you can just add that to Voyager.

    When using a mobile app there's not much difference for the average person. But PieFed instances have a lot of mod and admin tools which will tend to improve the quality of the content and people you come across, if that's how the server admins want to make it. https://join.piefed.social/features

    Honest question here. Since it's all the same stuff... why do I as a fediverse user care about piefed if it's basically an admin toolbox?

    It's cool admins have good tools to minimize workload., but beyond that?

    PieFed. Just make an account and follow the onboarding. You'll start noticing differences immediately.

    Ok. But once I'm in will I see the same content as on Lemmy?

    Yep. You can export your settings from Lemmy and import then into your PieFed account, so all your community memberships and blocks will be replicated.

    Registration is currently closed on piefed.social due to a DDoS so try any other.

    Piefed is also a part of the Fediverse, and reads Lemmy instances. Lemmy.zip also has a Piefed server at http://piefed.zip.

    So essentially it's just another instance? Do I need to create an account on a piefed instance to get the benefits of piefed vs Lemmy (which I'm not sure what I would actually get different).

    Yes, you would

    Currently Piefed has tools lemmy doesn't: emote reactions, flairs, hashtags, polls, events, scheduled posts, feeds

    So we don't see posts from piefed in here?
