I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day https://old.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/1ijmkc0/make_the_switch_away_from_meta/

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.

I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.

    Please elaborate. What’s better on Piefed?

      Some additional features that PieFed has:

      • You can create posts with polls.
      • Crossposts shows comments from everywhere that something is crossposted to (organized into their own sections)
      • Feeds for combining multiple communities into one.
      • You can blur images with spoiler tags instead of having to use NSFW.
      • You can tag posts and then filter down posts based on those tags within a community.
      • You can set a time/date for when something gets posted.

      That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head. Otherwise a more complete list can be found here: https://join.piefed.social/features/

          Best feature, a working block feature.

        All communities with the word ‘meme’ in the name are automatically flagged as low quality but admins can override this on a case-by-case basis.

        ok you got me interested

        EDIT :

        Default Blocks – Lemmygrad, Hexbear, and Nazi instances are blocked out of the box.

        wait what? I might not have the whole lore but this reads as “communism” is not allowed. I guess that’s a feature for some people.

      It has more features than Lemmy atm, such as custom feeds, flairs or tags or whatever you call them, community moving, etc. (Some of which will also come to Lemmy in v1.0.0): https://join.piefed.social/features/

      Since it uses Python and not Rust, it can be developed faster* => faster development and more first time contributions.

      Of course it isn’t perfect, it has its downsides as any other software. You might also find it more attractive if you don’t like the Lemmy devs’ political views.

      Though it is a bit opinionated, it’s good to have another alternative in the threadiverse.

        Whatever happened to kbin -> mbin? That was another early threadiverse alternative, but I don’t hear much about it anymore.

          Mbin is not as popular as Lemmy or Piefed, so nobody talks about it. Even before Piefed started being popular, Kbin was still not that popular compared to Lemmy in the past nor Piefed right now (might be an exaggeration).

          With the Kbin lead dev, Ernest, not being active enough (due to medical reasons), the community forked Kbin, which is what we know today as Mbin.

            Thanks. I knew that kbin had been forked to mbin, but didn’t know whether mbin development had continued after that.

          Mbin still exists https://fedidb.com/software/mbin

          although the biggest instance, fedia.io, no longer allows anonymous viewing, which is kind of a shame

            Thanks. I was wondering if mbin was still actively being used and developed.

              looking at their Github they’re still very active in development! If you want to follow their news !mbinReleases@gehirneimer.de
