Or made any kind of commentary on it? Or are they depending on being deathly silent to reduce the chance of anyone finding out?

Exactly. I love how there is actual discourse here rather than petty bickering and useful discussions are happening on here that I didn’t encounter on reddit

I hope it continues as Lemmy gets bigger, but I'm kind of doubtful it won't eventually decay in the same way as reddit. At least, I don't see anything inherently different that would avoid that. Perhaps the federation and moderation structure might help, but that doesn't seem certain yet..

These discussions would happen on reddit too if shit wasn't censored, botted or otherwise suppressed for whatever shill op needs to be front and center

Its really cool to see username@instance1 and username@instance2 on community instance3. It means Activityhub is doing its job and making us truly federated.

What's the piefed experience like, out of interest? I haven't tried it yet.

Its been pretty good. Lemmy has more momentum...but that doesn't really mean much when you can just subscribe to different instances all over the place.

It has quite a few UI templates. So you can further customize your experience. Its initial setup is MUCH nicer than lemmy. It has starter pack kinda deals. Theres a lot of other cool features like reposts show all comments from both postings. I also self hosted my own for a tiny bit, but I like the default piefed.social website the most. It is much more stable haha.

Plus Piefed can hook into other ActivityHub providers like peertube, mastodon, etc...without any real issues. Its a bit better than lemmy in that it utilizes the nature of the fediverse a bit more. Dont get me wrong, there both very solid projects. But as a layman, Im really enjoying piefed.

Thanks, that's very interesting, I will experiment some time. I found kbin utilized the fediverse more than lemmy as well, but it mostly died off.
