I want to make an alt to post on my expertise, so I want a nice instance to create the new acnt in. Which do you guys recommend? I heard good words about piefed, but not sure I would make the jump, and dont know what the consequences would be.

    Yeah, I just made the switch to piefed some days ago. Isn’t there a saying don’t put all your eggs in one basket? My first accounts were on kbin and fmhy.ml, but they’re not around anymore. I made the switch to lemmy.world, then learned about piefed and since I like the features it had I made the switch to it.

        The ones most important to me are:

        tagging features, tagging hotmaps for communities, search by tag, comments from crossposts is combined to the viewer (there’s a divider to show which community),

        when someone posts from a certain instance like beehaw you get a reminder about their community standards, user flairs

        less resources needed to load stuff (great for third-worlders like me), post and comment subscriptions, feeds (something similar to a multireddit)

        topic categories (do note that topic ≠ community) like Regional > Asia > Philippines in which each topic category shows all posts made by communities in the category. For example if you are in Topic: Regional you get posts from all regional communities, in Topic: Asia you get posts from all communities based on Asia.
