  Piefed asks this during onboarding: piefed.social/comment/4664996

  They also have built-in keywords filter

      Sadly there are some aspects that don't work well - like searching and notifications sometimes sends you to things that don't exist. This is MORE than made up for (imho at least, though I respect that it won't be everyone's) in having so many features that Lemmy still lacks.

      The onboarding process is one fantastic one, and you've barely begun to learn all that you can now do that you could not before. Categories of Communities, hashtags, notifications for every. single. thing. (whole entire communities? best used only for your favorites or low frequency ones - though a new custom Topics feature will make that process obsolete, whenever it comes out, I don't know the prioritization. Comment in !piefed_2025@piefed.social or !piefed_meta@piefed.social if you want to add new feature requests:-)

      I would keep your old account around though, for the handful of things that PieFed isn't fully ready to deliver yet.

      I think it will probably address a few of the issues you have with Lemmy, and then you will join the piefed enthusiasts like @OpenStars@piefed.social @OpenStars@discuss.online

        Absolutely. Case in point: I got a notification now when you tagged me, while a month or possibly even a week ago I would not have. There's new features weekly here!:-D
