Anyone else getting these donation ads? Was it just shoved onto an update by the Lemmy devs, or is this coming from the instance admins? It doesn’t seem to show on clean browser sessions to lemmy.ca

I am usually very ad-aversant because i don’t consent to being randomly pushed to feeling like i need a product.
But this interests me, therefore I’m consent. Can you advertise piefed in a way that makes me want to change from lemmy?
It’s completely interoperable with Lemmy (hence you seeing the comment you just replied to), but it’s not developed by tankies, it has better mod tools, better migration in the case a community or instance goes down, and it seems to be being developed at a more rapid pace.
What app do you use with it?
What got me hooked on lemmy was wefwef/voyager which is basically a reddit Apollo clone.

Voyager supports Piefed
It also supports multiple accounts; Piefed here i come!
Mbin is also an alternative. More transparency: https://joinmbin.org/servers
PieFed slants too much on the moderator side while simplifying the user experience to the point that you can’t even easily work with the modlog.
I’m curious, as someone who’s mostly only looked from the outside, what “slants too much on the moderator side” means.
Me? I don’t. I’m still on Lemmy because I haven’t quite managed to work up the energy for the switch, and I’m rather tied to this account.
I believe some Lemmy apps have added additional support for Piefed, but I don’t know which. Tbh I do most of my browsing on a computer in a web browser anyway.
With a quick Google search, I found Mlem, Interstellar, and possibly Voyager already has support. But I can’t vouch for any of that personally.
