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.

What's with Piefed? Isn't it just another Lemmy instance?

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

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.
