Why not ? I understand that Piefed.social is the flagship but, no, there are plenty good instances and we also included Pylova (a PieFed fork). So yes and no. 😋

When you will register on any PieFed instance, you will arrive on the instance chooser page :

https://piefed.zip/auth/instance_chooser

And that’s where you can decide. There are important info :

• the stability (i forgot, probably a mix of number of admin + uptime)
• the speed with emoji : 🐌⚡🚀 (related to server location). So don’t pick the slow one (snail)

And their description should help you. :)

I would say yes but with some trade of.

Imho, the best way is to create an account because there is so many features that i end up writting a book.

• merging community under the same umbrella : opensource@lemmy.world, opensource@lemmy.ml… = topic (managed by sysadmin), feed (managed by users)
• merging comment from post with the same link (access to comment from the threadiverse AND mastodon, peertube…)
• hashtag (improve discovenability mastodon users can find our content and we can find content related to some to those hashtag)
• flair (community filter)
• blocklist (keyword, domain, flair, user, community…)
• blocklist of domain related to far-right, spam
• tool to detect AI, bot, spam…
• following mastodon users

Mbin is also great and deserve some love.

Good question, i will test it. For now the only gallery post i see are from Mastodon. :)

Piefed support autofill, maybe it miss an API or the app don’t have it yet.

Dunno but you can request it :)

My comment is probably biaised because i’m part of PieFed team (translation, wiki, idea, issue…). I hope more devs will join us :)

On the moderation side, features, PieFed reached a good maturity. We have good tools against bot, and other tools that improve our community. I dunno how other fediverse software handle that.

On UI, we are fine, there is a bottom nav bar, a search bar it works well on mobile. It is visually clean except lengthy community and menu. There is room for improvement compared to Lemmy and Mbin. It will be adressed soon :)

The main thing that most Lemmy users will miss are mobile app because PieFed API are not complete or app are in developpement. Also that’s because PieFed improve and grow at a very fast space.

However, you can use PWA (progressive web app), it works well. Also Lemmy v1.0 will catch up some piefed feature.

If you are interested, you can try it on yunohost or create an alt to try it. :)
