So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

I have no idea. I'm a vanilla, semi-norm who came from Reddit, mainly because they banned me after 15 years of active and mostly chill engagement.

I'm basically just a slightly opinionated guy who's interested in what other people have to say on a variety of subjects.

I'm only dimly aware of PieFeed. I like lemmy as it feels like early Reddit and I access it through the boost app on Android, which was the peak Reddit experience before they locked down the APIs.

I've no interest in spreading myself over multiple platforms - I just want access to other humans via the path of least resistance.

With this in mind, is PieFace better? And if so, in what way?

Piefed has a bunch of tools Lemmy doesn't have: Flairs, Hashtags, Custom Feeds (Private and Public), Scheduled Posts, Combined comment sections for crossposts, Emote Reactions, Events, Polls

Most of these will also be available in Lemmy 1.0 soon!

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. Any time-frame (even rough) in mind for Lemmy 1.0 release?

[–] nutomic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We are currently finishing to implement the last feature community post tags. Once that is done there is still some cleanup and bug fixing to do. Soon after that we will publish the first beta version of 1.0 (likely in February), and ask app devs to start implementing the new API v4. How long the beta phase lasts is hard to say, it depends how many problems pop up.

Thank you for the summary

[–] YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting..Can you use boost or a similar app with it? Also, how popular is it compared to here in terms of user?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Apps do work with Piefed, but they do not necessarily have all the features Piefed has.
