- Comment on Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those? 22 hours ago:
We call them threadiverse or forumverse.
They are very different.
Currently Lemmy lacks lot features compared to PieFed and Mbin.
- Mbin support mastodon, tag, change link to link's title, customization...sorry i don't know well Mbin but it is a good software :)
- Piefed support tag, flair, multicommunity, temporary filters, i read the article, block downvote from people who aren't subcribed to community...
- Lemmy was there before PieFed. So it was my first software they have lot apps, lot UI.Anyway, i recommend you testing them so you can get a better understanding on their pro and cons :)
- Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 1 week ago:
Me too, i prefer iceshrimp to mastodon, there are markdown and 3000 characters :)
- Comment on Fediverse Social Media Guide 1 week ago:
Well thank for this usefull guide. So we are judgementale asshole. I guess you haven't tried !forumlibre@jlai.lu or animal community 😔
And what about PieFed ? :)
- Comment on TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo 2 weeks ago:
You may invit lemm.ee users and admins to check out PieFed and try it. Or set up an instance ? ;)
Even if there is no mobile app you can try its PWA version. It is a mobile website that work as an app. It works well.
There is tag, flair, filter trump/musk...and each week-end lots news features. :)
- Comment on What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called? 4 weeks ago:
Well, if you look at the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social i included NodeBB. 😅
Forumverse : for any news and features about Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB, PieFed
So it can't be Lemmy,Mbin,PieFed. And i'm adding flarum.
However, we can create separate category :
- aggregator link : lemmy,mbin,piefed
- forum : nodebb, flarumFor 4) i'm against. Link aggregator shouldn't be tied by a software name but a global concept as thread of forum. If i have 6 softwares...do you write them all ?
I think we should redo the post, but, for nom, let's see where it go 😊
- Comment on A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts. 5 weeks ago:
Yes, mastodon will add it. Currently the closest group they have is the forumverse and a.gup.pe.
Iceshrimp is a fork of firefish a misskey fork. But once they finish the rewritting it won't be a fork anymore.
Here is their roadmap : https://issues.iceshrimp.dev/issue/ISH-191/Magazines-support
And we know one of their dev. He is on the matrix group of jlai.lu and he confirmed working on lemmy and PieFed support. So by the end of this year we should see a tremendous activity. 😍
- Comment on A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts. 5 weeks ago:
Yes, when you edit a forumverse post (lemmy, mbin, piefed) it boosts those poste, create several duplicate and pollute their timeline.
So it is either a bot or a bug for them. If you are on mastodon, try subscribing to @fediverse@lemmy.world and edit them.
Futhermore, comments aren't grouped in the post. They are separated from their parent element. And you need to crawl back the comment to find its original post.
I hope mastodon support the forumverse. The iceshrimp devs, currently rewritting iceshimp in C#, are working on it.
- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 1 month ago:
I use :
microblog
- mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 character limit. But...i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascisme. And i'm not fan of its UI
- IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of tge best UI pn the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 character is enough
forumverse
- lemmy, it was good when we nigrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed
- Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don't use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
- PieFed i'm starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tag, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 1 month ago:
You can limit it to social network. I class peertube, pixelfed as a media plateform rather a social one.
For migration, can i migrate my account with :
- My followers and giving them my new adress ? Do it update itself or do we have to do it ?
- my contents : communities, bookmark, posts, comments...
- can i delete my account ? Can i delete all my content ? and how easy it is ? There we will see Meta doing an amazing score.
- bonus : can i export settings as colors scheme ? (Accessibility for visually impaired)And let's add accessibility. :)
We don't talk much about it and we are doing a very bad job. So the scoring system should alrso raise this issue : how accessible is the decentrulized software. - Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 1 month ago:
Or maybe a separate scoring system ? So i will be easier to manage it ?
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 1 month ago:
Yes culture and language should be another metric.
But migrate option, i think they could be integrated because they are a key part of a decentralized system. I you can't move easily from facebook, reddit, you will stay. And that's why people stay, they shared life with people, they have build together a community...
There is an article about nomadic identity that explain well those part. :)
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 1 month ago:
The main reason for me creating this is to shine light on services like Bluesky claiming to be Decentralised, but they are in fact not.
Nice :D
- Comment on Decentralization Scoring System 1 month ago:
Very interesting idea, thank you :)
So for my feedback, i love your project and i can't wait to see where you will go. Great job :3
For me lemmy is still centered on lemmy.world and its biggest community doesn't help users to move as they will post where there are lot users to reach them.
For my self, I would add two layers for decentralization :
The ability to migrate
- account and its followers
- community : miror content and move it to another instance with its followers
- export a backup of a server in case of absent admins
- change software. The problem is the golden cage, we thould be able to migrate between lemmy > iceshrimp, mastodon > piefed...mostly between social network. I think nomadic identity can offer us an interesting solution.culture diversities
For lemmy, i think content is still too western centric :
- If you reduce instances by spoken language as french, we only have 1 server, so we have a single point of faillure.
- If i count english content versus indian, chinese, arab, spanish...we are pretty far from being decentralized. And yes, we also need to note their countries regulation as our to get a clear overview. - Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 1 month ago:
Yes Lemmy communities are nice but you will notice quickly that there are part you may want to avoid. So eacg communities, even if they may have the same name offer a different experience. It's all up to the mod tean 😅
Btw, there are other software part of the forumverse as Mbin, NodeBB and PieFed that offer a slightly different experience and UI too
Welcome and enjoy :)

Why ? I use it for plenty website 🤔
- Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? 1 month ago:
It worked ? I received a notification just few minute ago : someone mentionned you. ;)
- Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? 1 month ago:
Thank interesting, it's hard to imagine something different...
I'm affraid people wouldn't understand and call it a bug whereas its just users culture and taste. 😅 but thank for sharimg this idea, it's very interestting :3
- Comment on Heads-up: my Fediverse blog has moved 1 month ago:
Thank for the info
- Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? 1 month ago:
Didn't know that blsky has such feature. Very interesting idea thank for sharing :)
So that mean we could decide some option per label like this :
- gore > text only, remove picture
- nudity > do nothing
- porn > hide
- positive > promote
Or even set up the threehold :
- gore > hide if 10 users votedAs for the crowdsource verification, that may join my idea for a mediation team where they browse, class content.
I'm activating your bell since i'm curious of bluesky experience too. :)

I can believe we are still tradirg with USA...Should we reach others countries and stop excganges in dollar ?
- Comment on Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? 1 month ago:
It could be a nice idea but the hard part is that we don't have the same sensibility about negativity. But i agree with you, i meet lot users thatqlowered my mood because they weren't happy with the name or title...
- Comment on minecraft alternative for windows and android 1 month ago:
I'm afraid that Luanti is one of the best alternative to minecraft. If there where more dev, we could create various ecosystem and gameplay. Also improve control on the mobile app.
Another game would be Veloren but there is no building and survival. It's a RPG. And i don't think there created a mobile app.
- Comment on HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war 1 month ago:
It work as in RL.
If you want a world where everyone welcome your power, that can only be achieved economically and with endocrinement as religion, media...
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 1 month ago:
Thank a lot for sharing this with us, i love those data :)
- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 1 month ago:
I find this idea pretty cool, i hope they will succeed to achieve that. Imo, we lack diversity on the forum6erse except maybe mastodon.
It would provide an additional layer, another governance, they could also benefit a lot from local community and can check vote...Other have already mentionned good example with blahaj, beehaw.
On the other hand, it will render the instance more visible.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
Yes sorry, it's perfect. :)
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
Yep but considering your activities, you can tell them more about PieFed and Mbin. It will help reach a more balanced software's use. :)
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
It doesn't matter, true. We can see every comments in a crossposted post. But on the other hand Blaze is also right. :)
I told him the same thing about its lemmy repport that i wished something less lemmy centric. :)
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
Thank for your feedback. Maybe you can tell them ? I'm giving feedback to piefed dev on their UI, suggesting ideas is also part on PieFed development. :)
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 1 month ago:
Well, i thought the same about rust and python. i'm not a dev and lack understanding on their component.
My opinion became more nuanced with Lemmy. I have read there spike in ressource usage with lemmy on server.
So, I believe the language matter but also its features, the way you think how people will use it. Its core design.
When you manage a social network, the most fondamental feature is the moderation board. I find this area is lacking on Lemmy. Crosspost ? Duplicate everywhere, on my timeline, i get 4-5 time the same post...so i believe it miss some design thinking.
From what i see, the various lemmy-bot (most of them are written in python i think ?) and alternative frontend are improving lemmy experience. For example, how do you add an mod with lemmy-web-ui ?
I also believe that being written in Rust make it harder for new devs to help. But in later time we will see a change.
I'm not sure if it answer part of your question, but there are area where lemmy can improve :
