Very cool, and the best part is that these platforms aren't directly competing because here I am posting about it on Lemmy. It's fascinating that the Fediverse can evolve in a way that doesn't shed users.
Yup i’ve started using a piefed account to complement my lemmy one. As more featured become fully compatible with voyager and the ability to turn downvotes off becomes a thing on piefed I think I’ll make a complete switch.
I don’t think they bring much and a lot of the most “hivemind” behaviours are linked to downvotes.
Someone having a shitty opinion just shows as 0 upvotes anyways so has the same effect.
Plus having downvotes disabled conditions me to basically ignore shitty takes instead of downvoting them and often replying which IMO has made my lemmyverse experience better.
Also, it makes me a little less worried to post what I truly think without conforming to other people’s stuff. Since I don’t care if I get downvoted.
PieFed looks to me a hybrid of Reddit and BlueSky in early state, with greater accessibility. API is very similar to Lemmy's so heres hoping it will have 1:1 mobile apps

Definitely!

So Piefed absorbed a lions share of the lemm.ee refugees it looks like?
that checks out, the closure announcement was made on the 4th of june
in the meantime blahaj also opened a piefed instance, so some of the new users came from blahaj
Lemmy.zip opened up piefed.zip as well.
I'm on piefed.ca! Love to see Piefed gaining traction. It's a much better experience.

Why turn downvotes off?

Ty for the insight! I suppose it just makes the experience generally less confrontational.
Lemmy.zip got 800 new accounts, so I'm not sure: https://lemmy.zip/post/42743443
I’m One of Those People Who Joined Lemmy.zip And Piefed.zip @Blaze Man
Hope you like it!
Looks like it. Seriously good timing on their part
and at least one .ml refugee escaping that tankie hellscape
For some reason I can't view the image anymore, even tho a while ago it worked.
I updated the link, it should work now
Okay, maybe I just got it wrong but for the longest time I thought that piefed is an instagram-replacement, not a reddit-replacement?
you're thinking of PixelFed
I did think of that!!! Thank you!
IMO, its like reddit / Lemmy, plus a bunch of cool usability features.

Why BlueSky? It doesn't really have microblogging.
Voyager started supporting it Interstellar does as well.
Probably because lots of things are blue.
Just FYI, piefed and the community has a LOT of awesome ui themes that you can use.
relevant meme
Thank you for finding it back!
I'm one of the migrants of Lemm.ee that moved to Piefed. This is what is great about federation and open protocols as a whole.
I also have a Pixelfed account. "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"- you may ask. Nothing. But some people do mix them up.
So it tripled in size? Noice.
yeah, I joined piefed as a Lemm.eegrant, and I doubt I would have done so otherwise.
Doing my part!
Oooh I was JUST about to make an account then slrpnk came back up. I might make one anyway bc I heard it has scheduled posting, right?
Indeed !
im here since before it became "big!" damn im cool😎
(na, we all are cool)
