So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.
What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?
Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.
On which one should we put our weight?
PieFed all the way. It’s developing at lightning speed, while Lemmy lags behind as the transphobic genocide denying devs beg for donations with in built donation begging banners on all Lemmy instances front pages. Instances are apparently scared to defed from .ml for fear the devs wont support them with help.
Rimu has made some interesting choices, such as blocking 196 from default federating posts until a user subs first or a dislike for meme subs. But when spoken to has been receptive and removed such things or made them optional for admins.
Ethically and feature wise PieFed is in the lead, its not perfect but its open to change and receptive to ideas
if i’m on piefed god forbid, and i reply to a comment on an OP who has blocked me, will my own instance reject my comment? will it give me an error or will it silently drop it or what?
I completely misread your comment.
If you are on the same instance as the blocker, you will get this error message: “Your reply was not accepted because The author of the parent post has blocked the author or instance of the new reply.”

but if you’re on different instances, even if everybody is using pyfedi, it won’t say anything?
It won’t. See above how I could make a reply from an account on a pyfedi instance to another

oh lmao my bad i read that and then immediately forgot it. what a stupid website. seems like they saw .world and decided it wasn’t enough that its entire community was
, they had to make it function identically too
If you on lemmygrad.ml reply to a comment on a post where the OP has blocked you (no matter if you reply directly to the post or to another comment), you will think that the reply has gone through, it will show on lemmygrad.ml.
If the community the post is in, is on the same instance as the OP who has blocked you, the OP’s instance and other instances e.g. lemmy.ml will not see the comment. If the community is not on the same instance as the OP, other instances will see it, only the OP’s instance won’t.
(This is at least how I understand it, if I’m wrong I really hope someone will correct me)
