  Holy crap am I glad someone piped up.

  You know how much I don’t care about Toyota when I’m talking about Hyundai? You know much I really don’t care about piefed’s features when this is not about piefed?

  Thank you.

    • you can’t get a Toyota on top of your Huyndai in 5 minutes, you can create a Piefed account and import your Lemmy settings in 5 minutes
    • a lot of people aren’t aware about Piefed, and how compatible it is with Lemmy

    I agree. And while it is amazing the features that rimu has added to piefed, I personally really like Sopuli, and its admin team. I do have a piefed account, and I use it. But Sopuli, and thereby lemmy, is my main instance.

  yea, but if Lemmy never adds a feature you really want, maybe just switch to PieFed lol

  the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments, although they do show crossposts already and v1.0 will have multi-communities

    No? It was said it shouldn’t be done in the backend, a frontend or an alternative client can still do PieFed style comment listing.

    For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.

      At the moment we have a few famous examples of similar communities coexisting

      • !android@lemdro.id vs !android@lemmy.world
      • !movies@piefed.social vs !movies@lemmy.world
      • !privacy@programming.dev , !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !privacy@lemmy.world
      • !buyeuropean@feddit.uk vs !buyfromeu@feddit.org vs !BuyFromEU@europe.pub

      All of those communities have similar rules, there’s nothing distinguishing them (!privacy@lemmy.ml for instance is different) except that mods never bothered to agree on a single place

        I don’t think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

      merging them completely is bad yes, but the way PieFed does it is nice, they have separate headers for the comments from each community

        I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.
