I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

    PieFed > Lemmy (In my opinion)

    I switched to PieFed a while ago, it's the same thing but better (IMO)
    It also doesn't have any of the controversy that comes with Lemmy, and the UX is a lot better (IMO)

    It also has quite a few nice features that Lemmy lacks. Try out both, see which you like.

    Damn. Trashing Lemmy on Lemmy.

    In a way yes, because this post is in a community running on a Lemmy instance. But at the same time: The user was did not use Lemmy to write the Lemmy trashing :)

    (And Lemmy is good. It's just, PieFed is so much better!)

    If that's trashing, most debates I've seen would be bloodbaths. e.e"

    Irony aside, if someone is politely criticized, what seems to be what the OP did, and the receiver sees it as a problem, the receiver shouldn't be a public figure.

    Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?

    Some additional features that PieFed has:

    • You can create posts with polls.
    • Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
    • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
    • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
    • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
    • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

    That's just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/

    All communities with the word ‘meme’ in the name are automatically flagged as low quality but admins can override this on a case-by-case basis.

    ok you got me interested

    EDIT :

    Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.

    wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as "communism" is not allowed. I guess that's a feature for some people.

    It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/

    Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.

    Of course it isn't perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don't like the Lemmy devs' political views.

    Though it is a bit opinionated, it's good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

    How does one “move” to piefed? Do I keep my subscriptions and everything tied to my account?

    You pick a piefed server and create an account there. You can transfer subscriptions, but that is not something i have done. Your content posted by your .world account stays with that account however.

    Lots of people like piefed more than Lemmy. I haven't tried it much yet.
