Basically there are no differences, sure piefed has extra features but if you're a mobile user no client acturally supports them. Also piefed is newer, less stable, and gets updated more frequently (so the difference between instances is bigger)
The different features are the differences, and you can use them on the browser if the mobile clients are behind. Piefed is fine enough on it.
Its not that the mobile clients are behind its that piefed has no mobile clients whatsoever, just a bunch of Lemmy clients that also happen to support piefed.
The limit between being a Lemmy or Piefed client gets a bit more blurry over time.
@moseschrute@piefed.social , would you consider Blorp a client for both Lemmy and Piefed, or a Lemmy client that also also supports Piefed?
I would say Blorp is a client that started out as Lemmy, but is slowly becoming a 1st class PieFed client. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I’m hesitant to call it a perfect PieFed client until I add support for polls, events, and feeds/topics. I’m working on some of those features right now.
I already have support for post flairs, and I just added support for locking comment threads. Both of those are PieFed specific features.
Since PieFed is in its early stages, I’m able to collaborate on API decisions. As a more mature project, I’ve found Lemmy a bit more rigid with its decision making. But there’s a certain excitement I get working with PieFed. It’s so new and full of possibilities!
TL;DR If you use Blorp with PieFed, you’re gonna have a good time
Thank you very much, Blorp is definitely a great app!
