  Piefed isn’t an instance, it’s an alternative software that reads Lemmy.

  Piefed.social is the flagship instance, comparable to lemmy.ml.

  Lemmy.zip made their own Piefed.

    …then how does this fix anything? Same federation, same downward trend of losing users?

    You’re right, on piefed, the loss of users looks prettier.

      The data in the OP doesn’t include Piefed instances, it only measures Lemmy.

      But no, it doesn’t solve it - I was just suggesting to try out Piefed for people expressing frustration with Lemmys design limitations.

    Piefed.social is the flagship instance, comparable to lemmy.ml.

    comparable in status, or in opinions?

      Status.

      Piefed.social is the flagship in the sense that it’s the instance run by the devs. They aren’t tankies.

      status. part of the impetus of the development of piefed was a frustration with how the lemmy devs treated people who tried to get onboarded to help with the development of lemmy. i can go into more depth about how this is a reflection of how the lemmy devs see the world, but i don’t necessarily feel like hashing all that out when i have bigger fascists to fry

        Piefed seems to have its own share of issues, not using protocols which play nice with the rest of the Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon etc) and instead prioritizing on their own platform and seeing the fediverse as a secondary thing.
