The whole point is to not have a centralized system. Development is also part of that, so providing multiple front ends for the same community also works towards that goal.
Yeah, sorry you’re right, like being able to get feeds for small communities, and that sort of thing. But all the actual content is the same, is what I meant. Piefed doesn’t provide any content that you can’t get on Lemmy, just a different way to view it (UI) and organize it (features).
It does have polls. Those are not visible if you use Lemmy, right?
It will also add support for viewing microblogging posts (a.k.a. Mastodon) sometime in the next year. Obviously, that’s still content you can see all of if you use both Mastodon and Lemmy, because Mastodon supports polls as well.
But PieFed is the only one that shows both everything Lemmy shows plus the polls.
Well, it works. But Piefed is developing more features quicker atm.
So we should all just jump? Meh. Lemmy 1.0 is releasing soon which should help quite a bit.
AFAIK the two can federate with eachother so I’m glad we have both.
Not necessarely that’s the beauty of the fediverse. You can enjoy PieFed growth and all it’s content but stick on Lemmy if you don’t feel like moving.
I vote use both

Lemmy still has a bigger user base doesn’t it?
Well yes, but you can interact with lemmy on piefed.
If it’s true It’s the main reason to not even think to use piefed.

Not if you want to make use of some of Piefeds tools.
I mean, I am reading this on PieFed and I do see your comment just fine. As you see mine.
Why is that a reason not to use PieFed? You can obviously just block all instances that run on Lemmy if you somehow don’t like their users!
Doesn’t matter to me, I’m still using the old reddit theme on .world and that’s what I want to keep using.
Piefed or Lemmy, it’s the same content, so you’re arguing about either UI or philosophical differences (Lemmy devs are tankies or whatever).
I’d consider Piefed if they had an old reddit UI available, but that’s never gonna happen and I absolutely cannot stand either Lemmy’s or Piefed’s UI.
Well no, it’s not just UI. Piefed has more features than Lemmy right now.
Fair enough if you’re tethered to lemmy due to an old-reddit style UI, but it’s not purely rooted in UI and ideology.
