I have blocked all users from lemmy.ml

Sweet hallelujah! Actually working filtering! Holy shit, say no more :DD

Mind you, a lot of the more basic UI/UX features of PieFed are still lacking, like a post preview, but there's more and more added each week, and it's written in Python so easier for people to contribute to.

I don't like the UI and that's a problem for me. But I talked to rimu in the matrix room, he said the API is very, very close to finishing and is going to be similar to the lemmy api; this should make porting clients and apps very trivial.

the "search" feature is particularly bad right now

Tell me about it, i can't properly search for communities lol. Maybe there's something i'm missing x)

You would be very welcomed here:-).

Thanks <3 I've been waiting for the API to come so some app devs can port, then i'll switch. Piefed to me is objectively superior in everything but that. I'll miss dbzer0 though :'(

There is a port of Thunder that reportedly works already, but yeah things will improve there when the API is ready.

There still are a ton of features that the basic web UI offers that an app likely would not - like Categories of Communities (well, some apps have those already though I guess). But, yeah an app would simplify other things as well.

dbzer0 is amazing, the admin is amazing and that makes the instance wonderful to be on, I would presume.:-) He has also contributed to the Lemmy sourcecode, and possibly to the PieFed one as well although I'm not as certain about that.

The search is indeed primitive, but I think searching for communities specifically works just fine, it's just that it's an entirely different page in that particular case: just to see it, try searching from https://piefed.social/communities.

Searching for users is even worse: https://piefed.social/instance/piefed.social/people, basically there's no "search" functionality at all, just a listing that you keep having to hit Next Page on.

I actually tried it out; it only works on pythag.net (a private test instance, by andrew) but it's really cool.

I thought of this too, but hopefully while porting they'd also implement those features with it

Absolutely. I think if piefed is mature enough he may run a piefed instance? I hope so!

The search needs work but i'll manage, anything to get away from lemmy (after UI ofc x))
