  • That depend, what your are trying to achieve.

    Your point is valid. PieFed point of view is also valid. There are circumtance where voting is better private than transparency. As for myself, i would completly remove the voting system because it is useless.

    Why are you voting ? Do you like the cat picture ? The article ? The title ? We will never know. So what’s the point of voting since we don’t know its reasons ?

    Why it is at the top of my timeline ? And what about minorities ? Let’s imagine 10 deafs people 1000 hearing people. If ya 1000 hearing people downvote a post because you don’t want to see a post with sign language…


  • 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 :)





  • Well i think Piefed is pretty close to being a drop-in remplacement.

    It’s true there are several missing components. however, i recall it was the same for Lemmy 1,5 year ago. And Piefed is catching up in few months.

    How close ? Let’s sum up :)

    On some part, Piefed clearly outmatch Lemmy on several area :

    • admin/moderation board
    • notification (the ability to chose a post/comment/community to follow/unfollow)
    • feed (multi-community)
    • federation with the fediverse
    • tag (to find more related content based on keyword)

    maybe more thing that i don’t know about

    some part are missing for Piefed :

    • mobile app support (but the web mobile is good + coming soon)
    • lacks of theme
    • cross-post
    • notification board (repport/post/coms/idea aren’t separated)
    • comment/post/moderation view
    • media management (lemmy doesn’t have one yet, iceshrimp is the best on that area)

    There are rough edge. Even if some part are missing, it is quite a good experience. In a few months they did lot progress. :)
