▲ 525 ▼ Something to help lead people to the Fediverse (europe.pub) submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/fedigrow@lemmy.zip 213 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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.
[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 9 points 8 months ago (6 children) What's with Piefed? Isn't it just another Lemmy instance? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Tuuktuuk@piefed.europe.pub 15 points 8 months ago (4 children) PieFed is a different software. Lemmy is written in Rust and has a certain set of features. PieFed is a newer project, written from scratch in Python, by completely different people. It includes Lemmy's features and shows the same posts as Lemmy, but has additional features such as polls, events, feeds (which are the same thing as multireddits on Reddit), emoji reactions, flairs, notifications for new comments coming for some specific post or new posts coming in some specific community, messaging with Mastodon users, and some other stuff that fails to come to my mind right now :) There are several PieFed instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] deus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 child) In the same vein there's also Mbin, which people seem to have forgotten about for some reason, and Sublinks, which was still under development the last time I checked. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tuuktuuk@anarchist.nexus 2 points 8 months ago I'm sometimes using Mbin, but everything that is good about it, is also good in PieFed. It's been nice that Mbin has support for following Mastodon with the same account you use for following the Forumverse, but since some of Mastodon's features are unsupported, I still find it more comfortable to just browse Mastodon separately. Quote posts are not shown properly, for example. Also, pictures in comments in Forumverse are shown as links. I find Mbin much nicer than Lemmy, but PieFed even nicer. For now, at least. Nobody knows if Mbin suddenly invents some killer feature :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nihilore@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) can it have an old reddit skin like lemmy? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] rimu@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago Yes, there is a compact mode in the user settings. It looks a lot like old.reddit. You can see it in action at http://retro.piefed.com/ but it can be used on any instance. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MagnificentSteiner@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago Different platform/software, same protocol (ActivityPub). permalink fedilink source parent
