Hi everyone!

I'm a long time (multiple years) fedi user. First it was Mastodon, latter Lemmy and now I'm trying out Piefed.

I find masto easiest conceptually, lemmy second because of communities and how they federate while piefed confuses me a bit. I like that piefed bridges lemmy and masto universe which I find super valuable. But I'm confused by topics, hashtags and feeds. And how wider fediverse threads into all of this.

I see. So it addresses the discoverability issue of lemmy. I always thought that choosing your local instance is redundant there because you have to subscribe across the threadiverse. Maybe these topics solve the issue. But I must confess that I find piefed UX a bit clunky.

    Yeah, there's no size fits all for UX. To me Piefed is pretty great, but that's probably partly because I'm nostalgic to when the web was clunkier in general.

    Piefed.zip has some alternative interfaces listed in the sidebar. Photon and Blorp both have a bit more of a modern look going on, but I don't have any experience with the UX.
