So Piefed absorbed a lions share of the lemm.ee refugees it looks like?

[-] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

that checks out, the closure announcement was made on the 4th of june

in the meantime blahaj also opened a piefed instance, so some of the new users came from blahaj

[-] Coelacanth@aggregatet.org 10 points 1 month ago

Lemmy.zip opened up piefed.zip as well.

[-] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I'm on piefed.ca! Love to see Piefed gaining traction. It's a much better experience.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 7 points 1 month ago

Yup i’ve started using a piefed account to complement my lemmy one. As more featured become fully compatible with voyager and the ability to turn downvotes off becomes a thing on piefed I think I’ll make a complete switch.

I don’t think they bring much and a lot of the most “hivemind” behaviours are linked to downvotes.

Someone having a shitty opinion just shows as 0 upvotes anyways so has the same effect.

Plus having downvotes disabled conditions me to basically ignore shitty takes instead of downvoting them and often replying which IMO has made my lemmyverse experience better.

Also, it makes me a little less worried to post what I truly think without conforming to other people’s stuff. Since I don’t care if I get downvoted.

[-] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Ty for the insight! I suppose it just makes the experience generally less confrontational.

Lemmy.zip got 800 new accounts, so I'm not sure: https://lemmy.zip/post/42743443

For some reason I can't view the image anymore, even tho a while ago it worked.

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 7 points 1 month ago

I updated the link, it should work now

[-] sanity_is_maddening@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

I'm one of the migrants of Lemm.ee that moved to Piefed. This is what is great about federation and open protocols as a whole.

I also have a Pixelfed account. "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"- you may ask. Nothing. But some people do mix them up.

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

Okay, maybe I just got it wrong but for the longest time I thought that piefed is an instagram-replacement, not a reddit-replacement?

[-] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 23 points 1 month ago

you're thinking of PixelFed

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

I did think of that!!! Thank you!

[-] perishthethought@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

IMO, its like reddit / Lemmy, plus a bunch of cool usability features.

[-] ryanee@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

PieFed looks to me a hybrid of Reddit and BlueSky in early state, with greater accessibility. API is very similar to Lemmy's so heres hoping it will have 1:1 mobile apps

[-] Blaze@piefed.zip 5 points 1 month ago

Why BlueSky? It doesn't really have microblogging.

it will have 1:1 mobile apps

Voyager started supporting it Interstellar does as well.

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Probably because lots of things are blue.

Just FYI, piefed and the community has a LOT of awesome ui themes that you can use.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

So it tripled in size? Noice.

[-] Sergio@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Oooh I was JUST about to make an account then slrpnk came back up. I might make one anyway bc I heard it has scheduled posting, right?

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago
[-] mintiefresh@piefed.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Doing my part!

yeah, I joined piefed as a Lemm.eegrant, and I doubt I would have done so otherwise.

[-] baggins@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

I thought there were more of us than that 🫡
