Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I'm blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren't we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

I run a Pixelfed instance. The code is faaaaaaaarrrrr from polished. Its buggy and the admin interface either doesn't work or is poorly implemented. I'd rather run and moderate Lemmy than Pixelfed. I have considered just shutting it down several times. I run the instance https://social.photo/.

People are talking about Piefed not Pixelfed

Piefed is another federated social aggregator https://piefed.social/ akin to Lemmy.

I know, I read it wrong. Because I'm a ding dong. :(

It doesn't really surprise me that pixelfed is buggy ngl. It is still polished to the end user.
