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

Curious to see if people haven’t heard about it, Piefed seems to be mentioned quite often
Yeah but usually it’s just “try piefed”, with a smug tone so it’s kind of hard to take people seriously.
Aside from that, adoption becomes a hassle for everything fediverse due to the whole pick your server thing, I went from fmhy to nsfw to dbzero to cafe… I’d be so happy if picking a server would not require so much trial and error.
What drove you from dbzer0 to cafe, blocking ml?
It takes trial and then error because it’s user depend, some people might have gone the opposite, from cafe to dbzer0

Tbf you’re on Lemmy 24/7 so you’ll hear about things much earlier than many others. I’ve also been on Piefed for a minute.
But I’ve come to understand how slowly knowledge propagates through large numbers of people, at least via this medium. First with the APIcaplyse, when I realized that virtually nobody on reddit had even heard of the API changes, let alone moving to Lemmy. And then on Lemmy itself with various major events/dramas that people were totally unaware of until much later.
Piefed is developing rapidly and seems like a worthy alternative to Lemmy and Mbin imo.

No need to be on Lemmy that much, just watching !fedimemes@feddit.uk you would see Piefed mentioned every week
Same here, on !fediverse@lemmy.world

I’m on Lemmy all the time and I didn’t know that community. But thanks for sharing, this is what I’m talking about.
