So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

    Okay? And as I’ve told you, there are active Piefed instances THAT ARE FEDERATED WITH HEXBEAR, LEMMYGRAD AND HILARIOUSCHAOS. I’ve never heard anything about the system automatically re-applying those instances in the event of an instance wiping all preset defederations. Lemmy.zip, and thus Piefed.zip has no defederation and they currently federate with those instances.

      I’m just reading the code, no need for all caps. Have you tested it to see that, if you remove your defederated list, that it doesn’t fallback to defederating those?

        No, I don’t run an instance myself personally. I can see the defederated instances in the admin toolbox though. I’m not going to purge them all briefly just to experiment. But I don’t believe piefed.zip has any servers they refuse federation with (I can ask demi if he actually does defederate with anyone either on lemmy.zip or piefed.zip), and given the inclusion of lemmy.ml in that list - I suspect it doesn’t work like that in the first place if you were to do so.
