Now that Voyager supports PieFed, when promoting the Fediverse on Reddit I will be using this going forward
Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install
I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are
- Not sure which server to choose
- No onboarding
- Too much politics
- Trouble logging in
- Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)
PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.
It’s a different software, but it can interact well with Lemmy and Mbin, especially as they same the similar format. Mastodon - Lemmy compatibility for instance is way more clunky.
These interactions and compatibilities are still very confusing to me, probably because I only browse from voyager.
Does it mean that I can post or comment on mastodon or piefed with this account? If so, how?
You can browse and interact with [email protected] or [email protected] using your current account.
OP posted to this community (hosted on Lemmy) using their Piefed account.
Don’t overthink it, it’s mostly transparent for you.
Mastodon is a different story, but that’s why I said it’s clunky
So from the user point of view they are undistinguishable.
Yes, if you pay attention you can see what instance this community or user is using, but beyond that, it’s quite transparent
