Just thought I'd note this. Main beneficiary so far seems to be piefed.ca.

Been looking to migrate off .ml, can y'all sell me on switching to piefed?

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 4 hours ago

Way more features, actually gets updates, and awesome devs who take on feedback and make changes.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Piefed has so many issues. It’s great at adding new features, but it’s so bad at free speech.

A bunch of tankies whining around anti-spam/bot, anti-AI and defederating from tankie instances. I see no problem here.

Been looking to migrate off .ml,

Why out if curiosity?

[–] BB84@mander.xyz 22 points 1 day ago (38 children)

I wonder, would these users still use PieFed if they have seen its codebase? Maybe it can be one day but right now it's 100% not production-grade software. Nonsensical hardcoded bans and blocks everywhere. >1000 lines of Python in a single file. Uses regex to parse HTML. The list goes on...

Greetings to South Africa

[–] cinoreus@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Is there any particular reason for this?

[–] sloelk@piefed.social 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I‘m coming from an promotion in r/buyfromEU

[–] squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Welcome!

[–] sloelk@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

thx, this fediverse seems for me more usable than others like mastodon a half if a year ago.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 18 points 1 day ago

Welcome! Piefed/Lemmy are closer to Reddit than Mastodon is to Twitter. Feel free if you have any questions!

[–] cinoreus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is lol. Reddit is a forum disguised as social media, something which does not require complicated recommendation systems to feel complete. Hence lemmy/piefed feel more usable in my opinion.

the great part about all this is you still being able to interact with people on mastodon. killer feature

Some promotional posts were made on Reddit in the right comms, although none of them specifically exploded - albeit one was made also in r/buyCanadian and it seemed to surge.

One of my friends finally joined for two reasons. First he was disgusted by the Reddit ICE ads, and second he realized his Reddit feed was half shit he doesn’t subscribe to.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 12 points 23 hours ago (2 children)
