Snoopy

True, i know that users prefers mobile app over web mobile maily due to its navigation.

Anyway two mobile app are upcoming :

• pferd (fork of thunder)
• interstellar (to confirm)

For me, the most deal breaker are post/comment view and mod view + notification board. Because as a mod/user, i use them a lot. They are all in development, it’s good, it will take some time. :)

Over time i noticed that i prefer the mobile version of Fediverse software. I use the web mobile version for IceShrimp, Lemmy, Piefed. The only app i use is mastodon (fedilab)

The web mobile provide me a better experience : lot features, better sync, mod tool, comment view…it depends a lot on app UI : swipe controle, draft, create post button, filters…

Well i think Piefed is pretty close to being a drop-in remplacement.

It’s true there are several missing components. however, i recall it was the same for Lemmy 1,5 year ago. And Piefed is catching up in few months.

How close ? Let’s sum up :)

On some part, Piefed clearly outmatch Lemmy on several area :

• admin/moderation board
• notification (the ability to chose a post/comment/community to follow/unfollow)
• feed (multi-community)
• federation with the fediverse
• tag (to find more related content based on keyword)

maybe more thing that i don’t know about

some part are missing for Piefed :

• mobile app support (but the web mobile is good + coming soon)
• lacks of theme
• cross-post
• notification board (repport/post/coms/idea aren’t separated)
• comment/post/moderation view
• media management (lemmy doesn’t have one yet, iceshrimp is the best on that area)

There are rough edge. Even if some part are missing, it is quite a good experience. In a few months they did lot progress. :)

Well, that’s part of the decentralisation with its pros and cons. And that’s what i enjoy about the Verse (lemmy, mbin, piefed…)

• cons : multiple communities with the same name. People are dispersed.
• pro : no centralised decision for all the Verse. Several flavor.

You can chose them based on :

• the number of comments and posts.
• the moderation team by checking the modlog of their community. Do you agree with their value ? How is it managed ?
• people. Do you fell well there ? Or do you prefer there ? Only time can tell you :)

Another idea :

• Use an app that support multi-communities
• Create a Piefed account so you can benefit from multi-community : feed. Create a feed, and put those similar community in one place. On few cross-post, they also regroup comment in one place. It’s still a new software but i enjoy it a lot. :)

Correct. However with ActivityPub protocol those number are irrevalent : any increase of users from (Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed) will benefit Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed.

And to a certain extend, on Mbin and later Piefed, they will also reach microblogging plateform as iceshrimp and mastodon. Then pixelfed, peertube, loops…

You should definitly try them. :)

• Mbin : you can connect to mastodon account, they support flair, filter by content type. I don’t use it a lot but enjoy it.
• Piefed : a good moderation board, flair, multi-community (feed), peertube support…

Then takes it slow, and focus on what you have to do. :)

Noted, that’s a good ideas to do a social network diet. I should do the same, but not right now. 😔

Feeds are multi-communities. We can group several communities from almost any fediverse instances into one place (peertube, mbin, lemmy).

You can create private one for yourself or share them publicy. You can copy them. Later invite new people.

I think you can join Piefed dev team or suggest some ideas. Maybe you are busy and it is not the right time. But you are welcome. :)

Let’s go back to Feed. I can’t find the post about it.

But you can check them yourself, there are several one, i prepared them for jlai.lu 😊

• https://piefed.social/f/cafe_fr
• https://piefed.social/f/actu_fr
• https://piefed.social/f/societe_fr
• https://piefed.social/f/peertube_fr

Yeah, with feed Piefed progress steadly. I really hope we will open a Piefed instance for jlai.lu very soon.

Btw, i guess you already read it, i created some francophone feeds (peertube+news). You may want to improve them. Or even write some part in Python… :)

No. However there are two mobile app in WIP :

• a fork of Thunder : Pferd. (only for testing and i love its logo)
• Interstellar, they want to support Piefed

I use daily Piefed as an app. The mobile website works well :

• you open https://piefed.social/ with your browser.
• Then click on add a shortcut and it will work as an app.

Nice word, i tried to find a similar word to microblogging (masto/IceShrimp) Sadly, threads was already taken, and i do want to promote Meta.

So, Verse as competitive, verse as poem, verse as conversation…i think it fit lemmy/mbin/nodeBB/piefed perfectly :)

For the story, if i recall correctly, part of hexbear admins were aways so they got a paiement problem.

Their domain reseller put a bid for hexbear.net domain. It skyrocketed to 2500$. I’m glad they didn’t have to pay those corpothieve.

2025 is also the year of Piefed. :)

Very cool thank you :D

True, the masto timeline is weird and messed up. Hozever, the oreason i use mastodon and iceshrimp is because my experience on Lemmy is also degraded.

I need hashtag badly, we need the fediverse connection. I think english speaking communities doesn’t notice this problem because they have enough people to talk, share content…

The support of hashtags is missing, we can’t interact with peertube account, nor mastodon. Mbin is better. Piefed will work on it, they did a tremendous job with feed, pixelfed, peertube. it’s an amazing experience. They are pretty close to lemmy parity functionalities and they even surpass them.

Only few options are missing :

• crosspost
• mobile app (interstellar will support piefed)
• comment and mod view

But yeah, as you said xposting from mastodon is lot work but some masto user came, so i’m happy :)

It will be open later to shop and eshop. Probably around 2026. I saw a élog post about their roadmap.

And wero from European paiement initiative that regroup all major french and german bank.

Very cool, i would recommand Piefed over Lemmy. There is a special grid view if you enjoy picture and the ability to create your own multi-commu. :)

Thank i didn’t see from this perspective. On mastodon the character limit is very small so i didn’t understand how difficult it could be as i would do the same communication everywhere to stay consistent.

In my opinion, they wanted to avoid the backfire from their ceo supporting Trump.

That doesn’t take lot ressource for communication on both social network.

Yeah sometime sharing pic between two instances doesn’t work well.that the case in comment.
