Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I’m blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren’t we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

        This comm is much bigger, and I happened to be on my .ee account at the time.

        e: And I’ve used this account for longer, so I don’t want to abandon it.

          Probably the main reason why people won’t move to Piefed either

          It is, but there’s only one way to make Piefed grow, it’s to start getting Piefed communities more active.

          Lemmy covers pretty much all the topics the current Threadiverse is interested in, so at some point posters have to accept to post to smaller communities.

          I’m not saying everyone has to do it, but as OP states that Piefed is more polished, I was surprised

            Does it really matter when you can access the same content from Piefed? It’s one of fedi’s great strengths that different experiences can be tailored on the same platform.

              It doesn’t matter, true. We can see every comments in a crossposted post. But on the other hand Blaze is also right. :)

              I told him the same thing about its lemmy repport that i wished something less lemmy centric. :)

                With our current situation, it’s just that most of the things are going to happen on Lemmy. New app update? it’s a Lemmy app. New monthly active user milestone reached? Lemmy is probably the main reason.

                Hopefully things will get more balanced over time, but we can’t expect a perfect 1/3 split of posts between the three platforms.
