Hey, hey you.

Get some.

It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol

I'll join you. 😡

Some icons are stretched and some aren't. Double infuriating

Lichess is not on the fedi

Lemmy and Piefed are both Reddit alternatives. I'm not sure what all the pros and cons are of each, but Lemmy's developers are tankies so probably better to direct users and funding to a different project. I'm only on Lemmy because I wasn't aware of Piefed when I first joined.

Bookwyrm is cool, it just needs more attention and interaction. It would be cool if it could expand into other forms of media (games, movies) like NeoDB, which again feels like posting into the void.

I'm a little behind on this, what does goodreads have to do with bezos?

There's also StoryGraph - it's not federated, but ran by a tiny UK company, but seems pretty popular. I like the content warnings feature and stuff like readers rating the pacing and moods of the books, which is then displayed with graphs on the book page, but they have also introduced some AI features :/ (fortunately opt-in)

Nice suggestion. I didn't know this was a thing. :)

Welcome!

Since your Lemmy account is only 3 days old, I would recommend switching over to PieFed. It’s a much nicer experience and federates with all the same servers that Lemmy does, so you’re seeing the same posts but in a better way. You’re on lemmy.zip, and the same devs run piefed.zip.

With a little curation of your community subscriptions, you can get a very similar experience to Reddit but better.

Piefed has quite a few features that Lemmy doesn't have:

• multicommunities
• onboarding process asking new joiners what they are into
• crossposts comments consolidation
• communities moderation features
• posts and user flairs
• keyword filters

Lemmy should get there in version 1.0, but they still don't have any precise timeframe for that release, and still need to do some testing https://lemmy.ml/comment/23570258

You might see a few people discrediting Piefed for some optional filters it offers, but all of those filters are configurable by admins and disabled by default: https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/1005977/piefed-admin-settings-that-allow-to-enable-or-disable-content-filters-they-are-disabled-by

They are similar platforms and they federate, i.e. you can see all Lemmy content with a Piefed account and vice versa.

Piefed provides sections or slices of the fediverse and often is incorporated with mastodon, whereas Lemmy is a much bigger aspect of the overall fediverse. While everyone is entitled to their option how they approach certain topics, Lemmy's devs have a huge impact on federation protocols, moderation norms, and general user experience across the fediverse!

piefed isn't made by tankies

And it's not being developed by tankies.

Yeah some OAuth would be nice

Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn't federated though.

Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?

Fair point,

I omitted Facebook in my image because fuck that kind of social media (my opinion)

I picked PieFed over Lemmy because UX is everything and currently PieFed has much better UX.
