Come on over, the water is fine!
Splashes you!
The platform follows the same format as Lemmy but with extra features such as flairs, polls, private votes and combined comments.
I like their software philosophy.
I think being “uncreative” like this is a smart move for long-lasting software.
I immediately noticed the combined comments, that's an excellent feature.
Which one is the closest to lemm.ee? I liked how lemm.ee had a no pornography rule and federated with everyone.
!meta@lemm.ee has a few posts with alternatives
That doesn't make sense I f Thu had a no pornography rule how could they federate with instances that had porn.
You can have a "no local pornography" rule without also defederating from instances that have pornography.
The instance I'm on, lemmy.today, has an admin who disallows local pornography communities on the instance and explicitly says that he's fine with users participating in pornography communities on other instances through his instance. From its server rules:
No local pornography communities (but you are free to subscribe to them on other instances if you wish).
That makes sense if you don't have some sort of desire to block it from users on the server, but just don't want to deal with the administrative hassle that comes with it.
I was made aware of Piefed from recent posts about this and went ahead and made an account in case I want to ditch Lemmy altogether in the future, but I'm familiar with how it works and will keep using it for now.
is piefed not a lemmy instance?
It's a totally different software project. Written in Python as opposed to Rust (programming language used for Lemmy).
But it is also part of the fediverse with ActivityPub compatibility, so you can easily browse and subscribe to Lemmy communities and content from PieFed and vice versa.
https://piefed.social/ is the original PieFed instance.
No, but it federates with Lemmy.
RIP.
How so? Is there drama I have missed or something?
Not enough mods to keep it going
Admins more precisely.
lemm.ee has been a shit-show for a while.
I suspect it just got more toxic than the admins could stomach and ate itself.

Oh shit I had not seen this thank you
Fuck.
lemmy is permantly shutting down due to admin burnout.
lemmy in general or lemm.ee?
