Since lemm.ee is about to shut down I also want to take my leave. But whilst I am very supportive of lgbtqia+, and have friends who are part of it, I myself am not so idk if I belong in the blahaj family (same thought when I joined Lemmy back in the day). Like I feel like I should leave that comfy space to you folks since you deserve it and that I should stick to a more general instance <3
(Also I have seen a post once where you are just allowed to be called ally by someone from the movement and not call yourself it so I stick to the rule and instead use the word “supportive”)
TL;DR: I am curious about your opinion if lame normies like me belong there and I am fine with the outcome as long as we’re cool cuz I luv u folks! :3
You don’t have to be LBGTQA+ to join Blahaj! Allies are just as welcome in the space! (:
Oki, I might do that :3
But I’m going to wait until the 19th so I can have my cake day on 19/6 :3
I am stealing this idea, thank you fellow lemm.ee user!
You are absolutely welcome!
Aww thanks <3
I’ve decided to join on 19/6 because I want to have a nice cake day date :3
I like the many features of Piefed, but the lack of mobile apps and good clients (such as tesseract) is a deal breaker for me. And the Lemmy backend is written in rust, so it’s very fast, as opposed to python, though I understand why one would use python instead of rust.
I hope Lemmy catches up with the features. I’m not fully comfortable with donating to the devs because they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.
they run tankie authoritarian-bootlicking instances, and are transphobic.
This is why I’m most likely going to use Piefed when my lemm.ee time expires
See you on the other side, fellow lemm.ee brother :')
The Interstellar app seems pretty good so far
So far piefed seems a lot more responsive, but that could just be due to less users on this instance vs the lemmy one I use.
I’ve only installed Interstellar on my Linux Mint machine, does it have support for Android at all?
Yep, can conform it’s very usable. Haven’t encountered any bugs so far
Yup it’s on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo
Why, what did I miss?
Blåhaj just made a piefed instance and I just think it’s better
It’s compatible with lemmy, so I can just use my piefed account for basically everything!
What makes it better/worse? Up- and downsides?
- Communities can have a topic, this means you can browse by topic! Nice but not mindblowing
- Communities can define post flairs! Basically very visible tags on posts that you can sort by. I’ve wanted this for a long time and some communities do this on lemmy by adding [flair/tag] to the title. Easy to forget to do. With it being a feature instead it’s just much nicer and handier
- Wikis! Some communities really benefit from having a wiki alongside it, like my DIY HRT community! I’m super pumped for this one
- There’s a NSFL flag for posts in addition to NSFW
- Lots of neat options for communities and the user. You can set communities to be mosaic instead of a list! Haven’t tried it yet but it’s cool that it’s an option
- Built in custom css stuff
- The dev seems very active and communicative
- The dev isn’t a transphobic tankie as far as I’m aware
- Everything seems to be better made than here. Did you know on lemmy you need to comment/post in a community to be made a mod? You also can’t be unmodded unless you have a comment or post. On piefed there’s a menu for this instead. Lots of just better little things like that
- More probably
The downside is Lemmy is more popular. I don’t think there is a mobile app also (edit: there are mobile apps like Interstellar, but I dunno if they support all the non-lemmy features yet), just the web frontend. There might be more, but I just started using it. Also, since the instance is new it’s still syncing posts and such from other instances and from lemmy
Edit:
Oh! And you can have “feeds” which are like multireddits. Instead of just your frontpage which acts as a singular feed you can have multiple custom feeds! Say a meme and a hobby feed f.ex, instead of everything being mixedEdit:
One more negative is lemmy can’t see the piefed only features like wikis. It’s also newer and there seems to be mainly one contributor to the code, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some bugs lurking around.I think you also may have just convinced me to make a blahaj piefed account lol. I’ve been thinking about making an alt on blahaj anyway and a lot of these features are super cool.
According to Ada, you can also set up instance moderators that don’t have the full “keys to the castle”. I think that’s a big part of why they set it up to check out, I was chatting to her about how Blahaj kinda needed more moderation at an instance level.
Ah yes! That’s correct. I’m an admin over there and can therefore moderate here as well
NSFL flag may have just sold me. i’m so tired of staring down a vague title and trying to calculate the odds of tits vs gore
That said the flag is only as useful as people are good at using it. For now most content is still on lemmy where they don’t have the flag, so for a lot of posts it won’t be used.
that honestly sounds really interesting I migth just move my very active and totally not dead community there in the near future.
Haha! :P
There’s a migrate community button actually, so you can clone over everything if you want
yeah I noticed. I think I migth start posting some more so the community grows more once I have more time
Some additional features:
You can follow other users. Also you can get notifications from a post, a user, or a community, without subscribing to them.
“Feeds” can also be made public and shared with others. Here’s my feed for local Lemmy Blahaj communities: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/f/blahajlocal, as an example.
Keyword filters are a built-in feature. I’m not sure yet but if it’s bound to your account and not the client then your filters will be synced between different devices. Even if it’s not true it’s still better implemented than in most Lemmy clients.
Some more transparency on votes (e.g. users have “attitude” stat which is a percentage of posts/comments they upvoted against the stuff they downvoted).
User flairs are also available! You can specify some info for a specific community without changing your display name.
Searching is nicer than on Lemmy. You can go to a community and search there too.
Just the stuff I noticed from my first look btw, there’s probably more!
interesting, I have been able to mod and unmod people who have never posted in my comms using the photon frontend.
Ah, might be a frontend thing then. The default web frontend for blahaj can’t do that at least.
interstellar doesn’t work with blahaj piefed as the api is closed
Oops! We’ll get that fixed as soon as we can!
Ooo, I’ll have to check it out!
Hmm… all that sounds good (except for lacking the requirement of posting in said instance to become a mod there - but if what you say is true, it might be an option).
But is it still decentralised and federated?
Yeah! It’s part of the fediverse! Check what instance I am talking to you from :3
Oh huh, just noticed that yeah! Is there an app for it? I see Interstellar mentioned, but is it for iOS or Android, or some third one? Is it on /e/OS?
According to this it’s
Available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, with more to come.
I found it on android. I am using the web frontend on desktop personally
Is there an app?
Interstellar is the app for piefed
Mbin is even better in my opinion, compatable with Lemmy, Piefed ánd Mastodon
Is it still lacking a “Save for later” function? I know it has boost instead but boost is more like “retweet” and I kinda just want to save posts without having them pile up in my gallery :3
Edit:
Yes it has, you can even have multiple bookmark lists and give them names like “funni memes” and “interesting stuff”
Oh, nice. Other way as well? Can I comment from my Lemmy instance’s web interface?
I would think so! I haven’t tried that yet, but piefed is also part of the fediverse so I think it works both ways
Should work yes
e; I should read better, someone else asked this here already
Ive been meaning to try it since i saw the announcement post. Thanks for the reminder
sameee (last comment on lemmy)
