After a while, you realize this place is not perfect either. Too much Linux (although I’m on Linux now), too much “voter suppression” messages from the left (which I’m no longer), tankies or whatever, I could swear I’ve seen several anti-Japanese/racist posts and the same crypto drivel you’d find on reddit.
First time posters be like

I wasn’t sure about lemmy at first and im still not entirely sure… but fuck reddit
redditfadedoutbad@piefed.social 17 hours ago
Like, 30 minutes in. So far the front page is a breath of fresh air. Reddit is unusable as of a few months ago. Just trash on top of trash.

Reddit has been shit for like 5+ years at that larger levels, but some small niche hobby and similar subs are still decent.

until some weirdo mod joins the sub and decides to ban you for posts you made elsewhere 5 years ago

Me after trying to find a Reddit alternative and I stumble access Lemmy.

I highly reccomend making the move to Piefed. The Lemmy devs promote westerners all off themselves so that Putin and Xi Jinping can fuck more people’s wives.

Haven’t tried Piefed but yeah, .ml gets a bit cooky sometimes.
yermaw@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Some say lemmy is shit because .ml keeps promoting bollocks, everyone else says lemmy is shit because they try to stop .ml promoting bollocks.
Can’t win. Can’t see it being different anywhere else.

I’m non-binary and don’t commune with binary choices.
I can be in parallel on Reddit and Lemmy. Eventually I may feel totally comfortable in one of them to ditch the other, or maybe not. Who cares?
Plus there are two sides for users in social media, producer and consumer.
I can be on Insta as a consumer checking what my friends are up to and on pixelfed posting my pictures and sharing the links with my friends.

Sad but true… I wish Lemmy had more active users…

Friendship ended with Lemmy
Now Piefed is my new best friend

Beautiful thing about the fediverse is that people can choose and no one get’s excluded if you do not agree with the popular choice. Hope it stays that way.

But how else will I feel superior in my echo-chamber based opinions, now that everyone has a choice? I need to feel like I fit in with the masses but not TOO much…

Reading your comment, I immediately thought of lemmy.ml, but not sure if that counts

Nothing says community like splintering the already tiny community into 90 smaller
distrossub-communitiesTheRealKuni@piefed.social 17 hours ago
Splintering nothing. I’m on Piefed right now. The Fediverse means it plays nice with Lemmy just fine. Same with Mbin.
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
It’s all one fediverse, the only difference is who crafts your frontend.

Care to explain what piefed is and how it differs from lemmy? I thought it was just one of the instances in lemmyverse
cm0002@piefed.world 1 day ago
PieFed is an alternative platform in the same social media category of Lemmy, "Forum and link aggregator".
It's younger, but is being rapidly developed, esp considering it's written in mostly python instead of Rust.
Biggest benefit though, is it doesn't come with toxic political ideologies attached like Lemmy does (https://lemmy.world/post/29072279)
Also why we're moving to more generic terms like "Threadiverse" instead of "Lemmy-verse"

PieFed written in python has consolidated comments, flairs, spoilers, polls, topics, feeds (like multireddits), proper blocks, hashtags, piped video integration, disclaimer messages, better mod and reporting tools.

I’m not ready for that yet because change is terrifying and it should always be avoided at all cost.

I get it.
When Voyager got Piefed support I exported my communities and decided to try it. Loving it so far!
