I agree - PieFed is almost ready. But not yet, and it would be rash to migrate to PieFed today.
The state of PieFed currently:
In the last week two new developers have started making significant contributions, so now there are 3 of us. Once they get more comfortable there could be a radical increase in development velocity.
I’ve been making steady progress through the key issues that will enable me to declare the ‘beta test’ phase complete. I expect the beta test phase to continue for another couple of months.
piefed.social is subscribed to over 700 communities and handling the load of federation very well (max 50% cpu usage), on a server costing 6 € per month. The number of weekly users is about 20% of what Beehaw has but PieFed is built to run very efficiently so I do not anticipate issues there.
Heya Rimu; thanks for commenting on this discussion. We’ve been tracking on piefed for a while, but as you noted it doesn’t yet seem ready. Your software contributions and efforts for the Fediverse community are certainly notable however. I can’t speak for the rest of the Admin team, but I like what I see with piefed code, actual open source development community, and a roadmap. There are a few issues in addition to the ‘large crowd’ that Beehaw might bring though, which I’d rather not blast in public. Please reach out to me on Matrix (Handle in PF).
Once again, thank you! Love what you’re doing for safety and moderation tooling. Would love to help contribute, but have my hands in a lot of cookie jars ATM.
EDIT: Those shortcuts better be VIM shortcuts… I mean, it’s only six key combinations to quit right??

That’s awesome to hear, man! Thank you for creating this project, and for your efforts in making the Fediverse even better! ^^
A bit late but i love what I’m seeing, specially like not having to resort to external sites for the tiled image view like we had to at Reddit, useful for both pics (more likely wallpapers in my case) and memes (my most common use case :P ). Looking forward to see it grow :D
it’s on the big list of possible alternatives that we’re investigating
Unfortunately, I don’t think Piefed is currently ready for such a large community, but progress seems hopeful.
Maybe @rimu@piefed.social could comment here (if that ping federates) :)
That ping did not federate :)

Some differences between Lemmy and PieFed
If you have not tried PieFed yet, I urge you to do so as it’s the only way to really see it’s potential.
