I discovered about Lemmy and Piefed devs opinions and views which i not agree with¹, so i was thinking of using Mbin², i looked in to join mbin website and idk what to choose, there is a big instance which i want to avoid³ and idk if the smaller ones are stable, any suggestion?

1 Piefed is also made with Python which isn't the fastest language and i hate reading python codebases lmao

2 Please don't tell me that the devs are nazis or smth 😭

3 joining a big instance kinda defeat the purpose of the fediverse tbh

Perchance

That was a nice comment, thank you! I didn't knew the database implementation of lemmy was so much worse than piefed one, though, i doubt i am gonna switch to piefed because of some opnions that the devs have and i don't want to support

Edit: another consideration is whether you want to host your own instance. For that I would unhesitatingly recommend PieFed as by far the easiest to deploy (especially via the docker container) and using least resources. Tbf, that is not from 1st-hand experience but so very many reports of others do state this.

That's not something i am gonna do (for now!) because i just don't have the hardware, though, i once tried to make a lemmy instance and it was such a mess!

    Used to be worse yeah, although again, it might be better now? And it was fixable by just rebooting every so often.

    Overall people say both that the code written by the PieFed devs is much higher quality... while others say the exact opposite, so I have no idea:-P.

    I hope you are happy with Mbin. At the very least it's nice to have options to choose from. I don't really like Mbin personally - nothing against the project but the web UI is much better suited to Mastodon-style content (like with long titles that wrap around the screen so don't waste that horizontal space) than to like cat pics with super-short, maybe even one-word titles. And it has odd terminology and procedures like upvotes exist but they don't affect sorting like they do in Lemmy and that is rather done by "increases", which I guess are somewhat like Mastodon "boosts"? (I've never used Mastodon so I have no idea) Also, those are publicly visible whereas the downvote equivalent "reduces" are hidden from view. So... it will take quite some getting used to!!

    Cool, yes please do!

    Or contribute to the development of Interstellar, Blorp, Voyager, Thunder, etc. Honestly most people here seem to use 3rd-party apps rather than a web browser UI, which I've never really understood exactly why but I'm just saying that they do.
