There’s a better alternative to Lemmy and it’s PieFed. Should Lemmygrad have their own PieFed instance?
PS: I used spectreofcommunism.boo before until I migrated my account to sweaty.girlballs.church.
I couldn’t see any reason to move to piefed. It looks so similar to Lemmy. What makes it “better”?
what piefed does better than lemmy that’d benefit lemmygrad. knowing them would be helpful to answer your question
To be fair it does look better than lemmy, but:
-
The lemmy devs could change the app’s look if they wanted, you can even ask them on their github.
-
If I learned anything from the KSP2 debacle, it’s that pretty looking software can hide terrible code under the hood. Don’t take the look too seriously and try to gauge how good the code is instead. Until someone who know codding tells me how good it is, I’m not buying that it’s “a better alternative”.

What makes it better?
For what it’s worth, the developers of Lemmy are leftists/MLs, which I personally appreciate. Not very common in my experience to have openly socialist developers on popular FOSS.
Absolutely, that kind of perspective is exactly what I miss on most platforms.
