Piefed /Lemmy for keeping up with topics.
GoToSocial for keeping up with people and how they are going.
Pixelfed for my dog pictures and other people's pets.
Peertube mostly for my family (dog or otherwise) videos.and subscriptions. I have around 40 now :)

That’s totally awesome :D So GoToSocial, Pixelfed, and Peertube? Awesome!!! :D
Which one do you prefer, actually? Piefed, or Lemmy? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each? I’m really interested in all the threadiverse services.

That's a very good question. I don't have a good answer ATM. I have both because I'm on the fence.
Lemmy and piefed both scratch the topic discovery itch. Both are excellent software.
Piefed pros:
1. Topics (collection of communities) are awesome to subscribe to.
2. One of the best fediverse integrations out there.
3. The python is easy to read.
4. Mod tools are great.
5. The main dec is a treasure
Lemmy pros:
Lemmy has an easier way to post than piefed. The selection of communities is a bit better. Piefed is much easier to stand up on home servers (I did it once). It's also seeing a large amount of dev work right now. And as I've said before it has much better fediverse integration than Lemmy.

You know, you make it sound like Piefed is pretty strictly better! If the pros for Lemmy boil down to a larger user-base…
Well, I’ll definitely be checking it out! Thanks for the reply :D

Oh yeah filters! They are a thing. Works pretty well on piefed.
