rimu@piefed.social 14 hours agoYes, backend server.

You could run all 3 but it would be redundant as they all have the same content and people :D

One thing I don’t understand, the clients (and servers) have different features ? So how are they compatible with each other ? I understand the activitypub allows interoperatibility, but if piefed for crosspost agglomeration but lemmy doesn’t, how is that mismatch handled ?
Are they extensions that are just not supported like on XMPP ?
I think I’d want to run each of the 3 webui locally, to figure out which I actually like, but does that mean I should runt he 3 backends as well so that all the features work ?
Is there one backend that basically does it all and I should only run that one ? I do have plenty over ram with many HP G8 DL380 and 256gb ram each so … it’s mostly a matter of “crossing the desert” and configuring each one, which I suspect will be pretty similar but each with their own little gotcha (speaking as a self-hosting veteran, there’s always something)

They each use a different backend, and their web UI’s are designed with their own unique backend in mind.
There is Photon, a third-party web UI/client that may someday be compatible with both Lemmy and Piefed, but currently only properly supports lemmy (AFAIK).

Thanks ! In that case I think I will make a self-hosted server and client instances of all 3 plus photon and then decide which one I like !
