PieFed has consolidated comments, flairs, spoilers, polls, topics, feeds (like multireddits), proper blocks, hashtags, piped video integration, disclaimer messages, better mod and reporting tools. The project has been around for 2 years.
If the same article is posted on multiple servers / groups or whatever they’re called these days, PieFed shows the article once only, with the comments from each of those servers stacked below it. That way, rather than seeing the same post multiple times with 4, 2, 9, 0 comments, you see it once with 15 comments. Less ghost town that way.
There are probably people that can explain much better than me. But I can honestly tell no differences to Lemmy (but there are many). PieFed and Lemmy integrate very well. However I am only accessing them through the Voyager mobile app, so maybe that’s why I don’t see a lot of difference.
Regarding the question why, it’s easy - I don’t want to be dependent on Tankie developers, who are openly support Russian propaganda.
I don’t think Voyager or Summit can do the deduplication and merging of posts and comments yet, so you probably won’t notice those benefits. Hopefully they get them soon as it improves communication overall when all the comments are in one post.
Probably, as I have never heard about those features! Reduplication relates to the same communities on different instances? If yes, I don’t need that, I see that as a feature.
Can somebody please briefly explain, what is Piefed, how’s it different(?) from Lemmy, and why a lot of big posters moved to there?

what does consolidated mean in this context?

Piefed is lemmy for liberals who need a bubble to protect them from the nonwhites

Thank you! Let me know if there is anything I can do to improve Blorp for you!
