I’ve seen people bring this up as another federated aggregator just recently, and I have a few questions,

  1. What advantages/disadvantages does it have over Lemmy? I’m more interested in user experience stuff (I have PTSD from moderating a community on reddit years ago and way too little free time to be an admin), but the technical stuff is interesting (even if I only like 40% understand it).

  2. Can I see and interact with PieFed instances and communities from a federated Lemmy instance? What about the other way around?

  3. Is there a way for people to migrate an account from Lemmy to PieFed? What about the other way around?

  4. What android app options are available for PieFed? Sorry, “the website is the app” is not how I like to do it

  5. Any other questions you think I should be asking?

    But the coolest thing is that it does not need to be a competition. Both platforms can do good in the federation.

    100% agreed, I’d even go further and say that having a diversity of systems makes for a more resilient ActivityPub ecosystem. It’s not only non-competitive, it’s inherently cooperative.

    The fact that PieFed and Lemmy work interchangeably with each other is wonderful, and that plus the fact that I’m lazy means I’m probably going to keep primarily going through lemmy.world for now, but I’m definitely going to keep thinking about it and checking up on it.
