I'm not too keen on Piefed because it's written in Python, which is multiple times less than Rust (what Lemmy is written in) for a server back-end application. It just seems like a waste of electricity or adding more carbon to the atmosphere than it should, for a widely-used server application.
Edit: "less [performant]" - missed a word there.
What is your stance on Mbin?
I didn't look at the details of those three communities before posting them. I was just pointing out what I had found on a search. I don't mind lemmy.ml. and prefer it over lemmy.world, but I can understand that some people don't like .ml. I'm glad that you and others are creating alternatives to .world communities anyway.
I figure that Mbin is not too bad, since PHP seems to be quite a bit faster than Python too.
