Now that Voyager supports PieFed, when promoting the Fediverse on Reddit I will be using this going forward
Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install
I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are
- Not sure which server to choose
- No onboarding
- Too much politics
- Trouble logging in
- Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)
PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.
Where are you all advertising this stuff? I feel so bad mentioning https://quokk.au/ like I’m spamming advertising.
Sadly URL’s matter a lot to your average user, I’ve had a few people tell me to “Get lost with your virus link” when I promoted eg. https://lemmy.world/, that’s another reason I like https://piefed.social/ and https://piefed.ca/
I mostly promote on r/BuyFromEU , r/BuyCanada, r/deGoogle etc. when appropriate
When people complain about BigTech I point them to the Fediverse, else it just feels like spam
lol that’s sad, if that’s how identifying viruses worked then ISPs, OSes, and web browsers would’ve banned those TLDs a long time ago
oh cool didn’t know quokk.au was piefed! i’ll be switching when voyager gets stable. i’ll keep that in mind :)
it’d be a slam dunk choice if it weren’t hosted in the US
On lemmy itself, [email protected] have regular threads with people complaining about Lemmy, such as this one: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/47470272/19657445
Otherwise /r/RedditAlternatives
Hadn’t quokk.au before - looks great!
So some general purpose PieFed instances with neat domain names other than the flagship are:
The list seems to be growing very quick, which is of course cool.
Thanks, updated my post! Some of those are pretty intuitive, but I didn’t want to make assumptions. :)
Also, are you sure quokk.au isn’t Australian? @[email protected]
