MODERATORS
 

I've seen people bring this up as another federated aggregator just recently, and I have a few questions,

  1. What advantages/disadvantages does it have over Lemmy? I'm more interested in user experience stuff (I have PTSD from moderating a community on reddit years ago and way too little free time to be an admin), but the technical stuff is interesting (even if I only like 40% understand it).

  2. Can I see and interact with PieFed instances and communities from a federated Lemmy instance? What about the other way around?

  3. Is there a way for people to migrate an account from Lemmy to PieFed? What about the other way around?

  4. What android app options are available for PieFed? Sorry, "the website is the app" is not how I like to do it

  5. Any other questions you think I should be asking?

  1. Found this through a Google search: 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
  • tags
  • flairs
  • multi communities
  1. Yes & yes. They're built on ActivityPub and interact with each other, though the things that PieFed offers that Lemmy doesn't (like tags) aren't visible from Lemmy. And Lemmy can subscribe and interact with posts from PieFed.

  2. Yes. There is a way to export all your details through the Lemmy settings and import through PieFed settings, and vice versa.

  3. App support is sparse at the moment, but the Interstellar app (https://interstellar.jwr.one/) for Android works with PieFed.

  4. Can't think of anything.

To me the karma like system and collapsing comment with lot of downvotes
