Been using Lemmy for a few months, what's different with Piefed? (retrofed.com)

A lot of people talk up PieFed, and I think I found a community I like (RetroFed, they're based around retro gaming, but they're also new, so I'm not really trying to push them per se) so I signed up with them... so, aside from looking a little different, what's really different here?

Not really looking for a "PieFed vs Lemmy" debate kind of thing, more of a "hey check this out" vibe.

Mlem is the app I use on iPhone (and I'm in the beta); I use Voyager on Android, though I'm on my Android phone less.

Duplicate as in cross-post, like say someone posts the same thing to a community of the same name (or even not) on, say, .world, .ml, and a couple others? I've heard about that and that's one reason I joined PieFed.

    Mlem dev here. Mlem currently supports two PieFed-exclusive features:

    • Polls: see !polls@piefed.social for examples.
    • Adding notes to users: click on the menu in the top right of a user profile and choose “edit note”.

    PieFed has many more features that we don’t support yet (see Rimu’s message). We do not yet support crosspost merging.

    The most feature-complete experience on mobile would be to use the PieFed website directly. There’s a detailed comparison of different apps’ support for PieFed features here: https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/wiki/piefed-app
