Is just the same as lemmy? What makes it different? Is it similar to kbin? Why is it meant to be better according so some people?
Others have covered most.
For me the one killer feature is grouping of duplicate articles over multiple instances into one post, with comments from all istances listed therein.
This takes away the ghost town feeling of Lemmy, and the frustration of seeing the same post multiple times while scrolling.
The one bad thing is we can't upload images to posts or comments, so it's several steps forward, one step backwards.

Differences between Lemmy and PieFed
ccunning@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Is this self-designated?
sailorzoop@lemmy.librebun.com 2 months ago
I have no idea! I’m already hosting Lemmy so I don’t really see the point personally.
Just thought I’d look it up for OP.
rimu@piefed.social 2 months ago
No, admins designate it.
Most instances do not use this feature, afaik. piefed.social does but most of the others do not.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I seriously doubt it because I’m pretty sure the point is to remove the ability for bot accounts and spammers/etc from farming up some karma to appear more legit for their nefarious/spamming purposes.
Supervisor194@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t particularly care for these two items. I used to think user-curation was a good thing, but comparing Lemmy to Reddit, I have to say I no longer feel that way. Voting matters less on Lemmy and I think it’s better for it, all things considered.

The -10 can be changed in your settings. Set it to -1000 to show everything :)
GrayBackgroundMusic@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I’m very interested in this. I’m kinda stunned that lemmy doesn’t do this natively.
PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Voyager client can do that. I use it a lot!

I can tell you it’s life changing

I think any kind of reputation score should be community specific. There are users whose commenting style fits one community but not another, and their overall reputation should be understood in the context of which communities actually like them rather than some kind of global average.

Time for another fork… sigh…

Id say I say some controversial things yet I still somehow on average go positive karma wise, you have to be straight up hateful and ignorant on purpose to go negative imo

How exactly does the private vote thing work? I thought votes being federated was inherent to the way the fediverse is designed.
howrar@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I believe piefed creates fake accounts to do the voting so it doesn’t federate the actual account that cast the vote.
rimu@piefed.social 2 months ago
Private votes are just normal votes except without the federation. So their effect is only felt on the local instance.
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m not able to see any content behind those links or even the root site of piefed.social without what looks like creating an account and logging in. Is account creation and login required to interact with piefed at all? No anonymous reading?
rimu@piefed.social 2 months ago
This is a temporary measure to reduce load on the server from AI scrapers.
sailorzoop@lemmy.librebun.com 2 months ago
Same here, so I’d assume so.
Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
!lego@piefed.social is an example of Piefed commmunity

Also @rimu@piefed.social , is the login wall new?
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
This might need updating, I think the private voting feature was removed?
Blaze@piefed.zip 2 months ago
Indeed, I raised to Rimu to review that page
tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I don’t like the fact that users receive a banner next to their name if they get downvoted a lot. This makes other people judge negatively the comment even before reading it. I think it also encourage people to keep downvoting and discourages to upvote (as what happens with mass down votes of a comment on Reddit just for the sake of doing so)
rimu@piefed.social 2 months ago
This only effects about 3.5% of accounts.
PlexSheep@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Sounds neat
