So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

    I switched to piefed to help it grow, although for me the lemmy experience is still superior, due to the difference in clients available for Android.

    On Android, the Voyager Lemmy client is better than the Blorp Piefed client.

    Since the blorp Dev reads these comments (thanks for making us free software!), here’s my list of features to bring blorp up to parity, from most to least important:

    1. Choose what type of link to share by default: community link, poster’s link, my instance link, or blorp link, or other… Currently when I want to share something, I have to open it on Voyager to get a link.
    2. Ability to select text in comments. Voyager has this in the context menu.
    3. Ability to hide read posts. Blorp has this setting but it doesn’t work. When I open piefed I see old posts, but on Voyager I see fresh stuff.
    4. Ability to download .webp images. Downloads fail, but I can “share” the file to a file manager and save it that way.
    5. Put the profile button on the bottom stripe so it is easier to reach.
