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
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.
Thanks for the input. I am planning on spinning a test instance up to investigate more this week next week if I have time.
"Alright, it doesn’t do any defederation, this function just controls what the api reports. It will list which of those four instances the instance is defederated from but that doesn’t look like it is actually used anywhere to do something…let me grab you links here is where piefed digests this api endpoint to populate the instance_chooser table, and the defed_list field isn’t actually used at all
