    The platform follows the same format as Lemmy but with extra features such as flairs, polls, private votes and combined comments.

    Features - PieFed

    Nice things about PieFed: There are two other options for reddit-style federated forums, Lemmy and Kbin (recently forked to Mbin, which shows some promise). Having used them both extensively I came away unsatisfied, for a variety of reasons. It is unlikely that their trajectory will change in future, either. However we all owe those projects […]

    I like their software philosophy.

    • Use a common language
    • Minimize dependencies
    • Simplest possible architecture

    I think being “uncreative” like this is a smart move for long-lasting software.

      lemm.ee has been a shit-show for a while.

      I suspect it just got more toxic than the admins could stomach and ate itself.

        lemm.ee will be shutting down on June 30, 2025.

        lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month - Divisions by zero

        ## Hey everyone We’re really sorry to say this, but lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will be shutting down on June 30, 2025. ### What you need to know As of now: - New user registrations are disabled - Creating new communities is disabled What you should do: - You can export your settings at https://lemm.ee/settings [https://lemm.ee/settings] to take them with you to another instance. - If you’re moving to another instance, consider adding a note to your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile with your new username. Your old profile will still be visible from other instances even after we go offline. - Alternatively, if you want to delete your lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] profile, now is the best time to do it, so the deletion can federate out before we go offline. - If you’re one of the folks supporting us with a recurring donation, please remember to cancel it (Ko-Fi donations should have been cancelled automatically already). Our leftover funds are already enough to cover our bills for next month, so we can keep things running without any more support. Because of how Lemmy is built, everything posted on lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] will still be accessible from other instances, even after we go offline. ## Why this is happening The key reason is that we just don’t have enough people on the admin team to keep the place running. Most of the admin team has stepped down, mostly due to burnout, and finding replacements hasn’t worked out. The sad reality is that while there are a lot of great people on Lemmy, there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join. — We know this sucks. We’re genuinely sorry it’s ending like this. Thank you to everyone who spent time here and helped make it better. – lemm.ee [http://lemm.ee] team

          PieFed is written in Python, and so has already managed to surpass Lemmy in available features (by a lot, and new ones continue to be added practically weekly), despite Lemmy having an enormous head start. Lemmy is written in Rust and even high experienced and capable C++ developers do not know how to work with it, plus the language itself is not finished.

          Tbh, there are still some things that Lemmy does better, like having a post + comment preview, and Lemmy has a really excellent search feature (though you don't even need an account to use that...). However, PieFed will continue to run laps around Lemmy for the foreseeable future, as feature requests languish for literally many years (not joking here) in Lemmy, but people are willing (and capable) to volunteer and they show up in PieFed quickly.

          The best way to learn about PieFed, as you already saw, is just to go check it out, but be prepared to fall in love instantly, bc those features are truly amazing! 😍🤩

            I was writing a comment about how miss the "Top" sorting options. Then I check and there they are. I'm sure they weren't there not that long ago, which kinda proves your point 😅

              that's just plain false. It's easier to use Rust than C++ because most of the pitfalls are eliminated, and many tools helping to get things done are built in nd have good quality. C++ devs just have a hard time getting used to the differences. It's also questionable whether rust is unfinished. It's not like its "beta" or "pre-release", and if your point is that it's still getting new features, then consider that C++ and Python does too.

              python is better for prototyping, and it can be better for tools and simpler software. but if you think Python is better for "production" generally, then look at Matrix Synapse.

              that being said, I agree that Rust is more complicated than other languages, but not by a large margin. but yeah, it matters for beginner friendliness, and I would never recommend Rust for someone who is just a beginner in programming; but neither would I recommend C or C++ for them.
              though to be honest, I would be happier if the defacto beginner friendly language would be something with stricter types.

                For a brief time they had been moved to a sub menu, but it was annoying and so they were shuffled around again.

                PieFed.social is the "bleeding edge" where all the newest experimental stuff is tried out, but the other
                instances
                are more stable e.g. https://feddit.online/ .

                        I was made aware of Piefed from recent posts about this and went ahead and made an account in case I want to ditch Lemmy altogether in the future, but I'm familiar with how it works and will keep using it for now.

                                It's a totally different software project. Written in Python as opposed to Rust (programming language used for Lemmy).

                                But it is also part of the fediverse with ActivityPub compatibility, so you can easily browse and subscribe to Lemmy communities and content from PieFed and vice versa.

                                https://piefed.social/ is the original PieFed instance.
