Comment on PieFed, a FOSS Feed Aggregator alternative to Lemmy, but faster

It connects to the same Fediverse. But it has a few filters and features added. And the Piefed instances block the known unpleasant instances by default. And it doesn't pull in all the content unless someone subscribes...

I think that’s how Lemmy works too

Ah, I didn't know. I've never ran my own Lemmy instance. I just found out after installing Piefed, that content doesn't appear on it's own. I had to go ahead and add some communities manually.

I think that’s a deliberate decision, one of the benefits being that a new server doesn’t destroy itself by immediately trying to download the entire history of the fediverse!
