The fact that Lemmy devs are genocidal tankies (and manage two of the three tankie instances) is a major issue if you are from Europe and you don't know about how Fedi functions.

    You just join an instance that defederates from said instances, or use piefed

    I know. I moderate !hardware@lemmy.world which I joined initially when finding out about Fedi. I actually started posting/modding there because the only other tech hardware community was on ML. I otherwise I use Piefed.

    I am talking about people in general who don't know the nuances of Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin and the Fediverse in general.

    The lead developer being a fake communist (based in America no less 😂) and supporting russian genocidal imperialism is not a good look for an alternative social network (more so people for living in Europe).

    I know we've been discussing this a while ago, but really consider moving your community from Lemmy to Piefed.

    I did that with all of mine, I don't use my Lemmy accounts anymore

    I've moved a small community over. For Hardware, I am waiting for programmatic migration tools.

    You can migrate your community now already, or are you waiting for more migration features?

    So, I have Lemmy now and just made an account on PieFed. I don´t want to use multiple platforms. What would you suggest? Better PieFed?

    The Piefed devs are friendlier and are not tankies.

    The platform has consolidated comments, flairs, polls and better mods tools.

    Thanks! I have to say I like the lay-out of Lemmy more. Is there a way I can adjust the lay-out of PieFed?

    There are several themes and some options in the settings, but for now there are not any great radically different options in there. You can also use apps of course. But if you prefer the feel of Lemmy there's nothing wrong with staying there instead! :)

    My hunch would be that there will be a lot more options available for the look and feel of PieFed a year from now.

    You could try the layout using the Photon frontend of Piefed if that’s more your alley.

    Seems like Photon for PieFed is still in development.
