another set of forum-like software that can interoperate with Lemmy (and the rest of the Fediverse), but with a bit different set of features and look. I’m sending this comment from my Piefed account.
To add to this, the blocking features on PieFed are more robust, granular and ACTUALLY FUCKING WORK, which allow users to completely block ml/grad/hex along with the users from the instances.
Contrary to lemmy where blocking instances at user level doesn’t block the users and you still see their posts if they crosspost to another instance that federates with them.
Plus they can still vote on your content, and send you DMs, which at first did not but the next version increased the rights of the so-called “blocked” users further to also include pinging you. Which is made all the worse by Lemmy not allowing you to stop notifications for any of your content. That “instance block” is so incorrectly misnamed as to be active disinformation, especially when it was promised to us beforehand as the ability to block instances with problematic users (i.e. hexbear and Lemmygrad), but then instead it merely lets users trolls you incessantly unless you move your account to an instance that dares to actually defederate from them (except virtually nobody does to lemmy.ml).
PieFed’s set of features is so nice. Like you can set, or deselect, notifications on pretty much anything - get notifications for every single post by a community, or by a user account, or for a comment that is not yours, etc. I have never once regretted switching to PieFed!:-)
I’m confus… What is piefed?
