What’s a good peertube instance that federates with a lot? I tried tldvids but its got like 2 regular uploaders and i cant find most channels I search for.
Lol, posting Piefed as an alternative to reddit to Lemmy…
Also, PeerTube is super obtuse to get an account and has almost no reach. You almost have to personally know someone who has a server or host your own. There’s a reason why video hosting has gotten so corporatized: it’s expensive. That said, almost “no one” used Mastodon for nearly a decade and it’s finally starting to take off, so maybe it just needs another decade or two.
Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.
It only released onto the AppStore 3 days ago. I’d argue they deserve some time to get it right.
Wtf is piefed? I mean, I’m searching for it now, I’ve just never heard of it.
I’ve never used it but apparently people like it, but it’s got some pretty interesting development choices, I’ll just leave it like that.
Another Reddit-like software that reads the Fediverse like Mbin. I’m speaking to you from Piefed.
Please add chess.com → lichess
What about streaming?
Like a twitch alternative?
It’s honestly bonkers to have a community hosted on Lemmy this hostile to Lemmy as software and the developers.
Is this bait? There is hardly any hostility here towards the software and the Lemmy devs want to push the world towards being an authoritarian hellscape. If anything they dont get enough shit.
Because so many keep getting told it’s by tankies and stop thinking immediately after that
Are you referring to [email protected]? This wasn’t posted by the mods.
This comm is often full of comments pushing lemmy alternatives, with PieFed being the new frontrunner.
You’d think the post here would include Lemmy, which I believe is still the most active platform
But it’s the same platform! They all interoperate!
I understand, but most of us are here from the efforts of all those who built Lemmy and it was deliberately left off here as an alternative
Deb’s a tankie with the most bullshit oppinions ever seen on earth.
Not true.
Who is deb?
Developer
Maybe I am just noob at using it. But calling pixelfed a substitution to instagram, is maybe just a little reach… Pixelfed I found buggy, slow and dead community wise? Anyone to prove me wrong?
:3
Every day is a good day to switch
I’ve been using lemmy.world with the boost app. Should I look into piefed? Am I missing anything? I mean I’m happy with what I got, but is the grass any greener?
There’s been some controversy recently about censorship hardcoded into Piefed’s backend. Basically it gives people a “social credit score” based on how they post.
Yuck. Do you have any evidence?
Here’s the writeup about it, going around
Lmao that “AI filter” would destroy me. Let me have my goddamn em dashes goddamn it
To be fair, it only sends a ping to admins. And it only does it for new accounts.
Some of the code snippets are cringe. Ew…
So it basically is a worse version of Reddit’s karma.
Essentially, yes. And maybe that’s part of why people jumping from reddit like it so much, but personally, I don’t think the things like this that Piefied is doing are good for the fediverse ecosystem
I can understand where the reputation comes from - spammers and trolls will do everything they can to shit all over everything. Maybe this isn’t the best way to address that problem, but I definitely understand the desire.
I run a forum for a very specific model of RV, and fucking spammers came in so often that I shut off registration and register everyone manually after they send me an email. It raises the bar just enough. Every now and then someone will whine about it, and I’m like, I hear you but this is much easier than cleaning the mess the spammers always leave.
props to you for running such a niche forum! That kind of thing is rare online nowadays
Thanks. Disgusting

It has a lot of cool features, I’m almost tempted to switch but am waiting on the app I use to finish supporting it first.
I am unreasonably angry about the stretched icons.
Hey, hey you.
Get some.
Much better!
It makes it look like a shitpost at a glance lol
I’ll join you. 😡
Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?
The Element application is solid now. Still I think it’d be a rough transition for most discord users. But more users probably means more potential for developer interest
Fair point,
I omitted Facebook in my image because fuck that kind of social media (my opinion)
I picked PieFed over Lemmy because UX is everything and currently PieFed has much better UX.
Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn’t federated though.
Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.
Yes
Matrix
Matrix just isn’t up to it. It doesn’t feel like Discord at all. It hasn’t taken off in any meaningful way.
None of those really “feel like” the things they’re replacing. I don’t really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.
True, Matrix is going to win currently by default of there being no other alternative, but it just isn’t being used in the way Discord is even if you assume a smaller scale.
Roomy says they plan to integrate federation in the future, though it doesn’t have it now.
No.
Other alternatives are Root, not federated.
There’s also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.
Links?
Thank you.
Well damn, I need to update the pic I guess. I didn’t make it, just saved it some months ago
can anyone eli5 what the difference is from piefed to lemmy? i have a lemmy account, do i have a use for a piefed accnt too?
Its up to you. They are different software but both read lemmy and Piefed communities and instances.
ok thanks. sorry someone downvoted you
PieFed has flair and topics, which make it easier to find content you like.
oh cool. thanks for the info :3
To me. It’s the same thing but PieFed has better UX and more featues.
Which one you pick is for the most part irrelevant.
thanks for the input. im gonna chekc out piefed
