List of instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list

Piefed has a few nice features that Lemmy and Mbin lack

  • instance blocking
  • comments combination, posts only appear once
  • keyword filter
  • topics (admin-managed feeds)
  • user-managed feeds, public and private
  • ability to reduce the amount of Trump and Musk content

It doesn't have an app yet, but it's in progress

At the moment, it only has 352 monthly active users, so it seems like people aren't very interested in it yet

Is this the lack of app, or is there anything else?

I'll just say, even if 95% of the API is the same (which I am almost sure it's less than that), it will still need very intentional effort in order to implement the support. Interstellar already had support for Lemmy, but it took us several weeks to get to the point we are now with PieFed support, and that's all with a code architecture that makes it easy to add new platforms to support (due to both Mbin and Lemmy support previously).

All that to say, it likely will not be as easy as it seems to add PieFed support.

Fair enough. App development is far beyond my programming capability and I am happy to defer to expertise in this regard.
