I'd love to know the performance different between the two. It feels like Lemmy should be more lean.

I’m not sure if this is a Piefed software issue or a Piefed Blahaj federation issue; has anyone had trouble getting communities from slrpnk.net to show up on the page to add a remote community? I’ve been trying to add [email protected], which as far as I can tell is still up and functioning, but PF Blahaj just gives an error that says “Community not found.”
EDIT: facepalm, I was checking to see if it was up on my Blahaj lemmy account. slrpnk.net itself is down. Dunno how I missed that happening, but in my defense there’s been a little bit going on in LA right now 😅
Okay I'm super impressed so far! I absolutely love this. Way better than lemmy imo, I'll be migrating there fully. The wiki feature for the HRT community is gonna be super handy and things like post flairs/tags is something many have missed here!
Things like a [transmasc] and [transfem] and [transneutral] tag for trans_memes f.ex!
the best part about it is the cute lil shark icon in the trans pride theme <3
lemmy could never
I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I'm happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P
Really dumb question probably, but are piefed communities reachable from lemmy and vice versa?
Look at the account I'm replying to you from :)
Yes, they federate with each other.
Cute logo
I think I'm not really a fan of any of the existing mobile app options for PieFed. I'll definitely keep an eye on that and see if any ones that I like more become available.
hmm i already have a piefed account, do i make one for blahaj too..
You don't have to, your existing account will work perfectly fine.
But on the other hand, we're not rationing them out based on how many you already have either!
Go to https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/link for a code you can use to get instant registration approval.

Has anyone written about the functional differences between lemmy and piefed?
Apparently it’s mainly more feature-rich/up to date/stable? That’s usually what I read at least

Lotsa kissys!
Neat! I'll have to play with it when I get the chance.
How does PieFed differ from Lemmy? At first glance, they seem like similar applications. Does it have any particular strengths or additional features I might want to try out?
There are lots of little usability improvements, and configuration options, but they are functionally very similar.
But it also has the advantage of not being written by the lemmy devs, which is a deal breaker for some folk

The web site has a list of differences between Lemmy and PieFed:
- Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default.
- Communities are organized into topics. See https://piefed.social/topics.
- Image-heavy communities can have a tiled/masonry view, like https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]
- People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
- Hide all posts based on keyword filters.
- Keyboard shortcuts.
- Upvotes in meme communities do not add to reputation.
- Better UI design (somewhat subjective!)
- Improved hotness ranking algorithm (subjective)
- Voting is private.
- See also features for healthy communities.
- Each community has it’s own wiki. Demo
This list isn't exhaustive; one major feature that's not listed there is de-duplication, where reposts all get combined into a single post with a split comment section (one for each individual post).
People who get downvoted a lot end up with a ‘low reputation’ indicator next to their name. You’ll know it when you see it.
Probably not, because we have downvotes disabled :)

Cool, a women indicator

Interesting, never heard of piefed before, been using lemmy for a long time.
Same (well, other than a long time, but I think it's been over a year at least)
I wish there were more apps with piefed support. I like my gestures. Nonetheless, thanks alot fort the instance! Piefed seems great, I'll be happy to try it out here.
I'll just mention, in case it's not apparent, Interstellar (the app) does support swipe gestures on posts and comments; you just need to enable them in the settings. I do realize the Blahaj PieFed instance hasn't even enabled the API, so the app wouldn't work with piefed.blahaj.zone yet.
BTW, I like your username :)
Oh, nice, good to know! Also thanks :)
Oh, never mind, I just saw their comment about the API being enabled, so the app should work with piefed.blahaj.zone.

is there pie? 🍰💖
Basically a message for Kaity, but I am getting a
ClientException: Request failed with status 400: Bad Request: {"error":"alpha api is not enabled"} , uri=https://piefed.blahaj.zone/api/alpha/user/login
when using the Interstellar App and wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks <3
