Splintering nothing. I’m on Piefed right now. The Fediverse means it plays nice with Lemmy just fine. Same with Mbin.

It’s all one fediverse, the only difference is who crafts your frontend.

Care to explain what piefed is and how it differs from lemmy? I thought it was just one of the instances in lemmyverse
cm0002@piefed.world 5 weeks ago
PieFed is an alternative platform in the same social media category of Lemmy, "Forum and link aggregator".
It's younger, but is being rapidly developed, esp considering it's written in mostly python instead of Rust.
Biggest benefit though, is it doesn't come with toxic political ideologies attached like Lemmy does (https://lemmy.world/post/29072279)
Also why we're moving to more generic terms like "Threadiverse" instead of "Lemmy-verse"

So far, the Lemmy devs being commies doesnt seem to affect the quality of the software. And since it’s the fediverse you can just go to a server that doesn’t clash with your own world view.

It has in some ways, it's awfully convenient that features that would harm their ability to spread their ideology get neutered or not developed fully. Like making the modlog less useful, neutering the vote system (Lemmy used to have a more robust voting system, until they noticed that it could be used against them) or still not having a proper blocking system in place after 4 years
There's also the "soft" issues, instance admins not wanting to take the step of defederating with .ml when they do so with grad and hex because they depend on support from dessalines and they fear he would be petty and cut off support with them if they dared to do so (which prob would)

You don't want ideology to be mixed with a social networking service. It can get problematic. Maybe it hasn't yet for you. But it might. So might as well switch now to something neutral.

Yeah the only thing I dont like about Piefied is its written in Python instead.
The Communist stuff shouldn’t be a problem unless it affected the Software itself.AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
It's also just generally easier for first-time users to start using. For anyone curious, their little "feeds" of communities you can follow in one go by topic are super handy.
For example, if I subscribe to the activismplus feed, I automatically subscribe to communities like antiwork, solarpunk, socialism, leftism, anarchism, unions, antifascism, human rights, left urbanism, etc, from a number of different instances all at once.
For a first-time user, it's easier to pick a topic they're interested in and automatically be following all the relevant communities across most instances, rather than subscribing to communities one-by-one over a very long period of time.

PieFed written in python has consolidated comments, flairs, spoilers, polls, topics, feeds (like multireddits), proper blocks, hashtags, piped video integration, disclaimer messages, better mod and reporting tools.

I too desire this information.

cm0002’s reply is a good summary. It’s an alternate platform, but because of the nature of the Fediverse it plays nicely with Lemmy. So I’m posting this on Piefed but you can read it with Lemmy, and vice versa.

I’m not ready for that yet because change is terrifying and it should always be avoided at all cost.
TheRealKuni@piefed.social 5 weeks ago
I get it.
When Voyager got Piefed support I exported my communities and decided to try it. Loving it so far!

Beautiful thing about the fediverse is that people can choose and no one get’s excluded if you do not agree with the popular choice. Hope it stays that way.

But how else will I feel superior in my echo-chamber based opinions, now that everyone has a choice? I need to feel like I fit in with the masses but not TOO much…

Reading your comment, I immediately thought of lemmy.ml, but not sure if that counts
