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.

    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
