Feedback on whether to host Lemmy or Piefed for niche community - Cross post PieFed (piefed.social)
 

I'm considering launching a server for some fediverse applications for a niche group. Since the Lemm.ee announcement, I got back in to PieFed, partially because my company blocks xxx.zip (lemmy.zip, etc). I would want to make these fediverse services easily available and reachable to newcomers.

I'm thinking of sticking with Lemmy and maybe the photon UI instead of the default, or have the default hosted at another address. I like the features of PieFed, but I think that the lack of apps could be a barrier to entry.

I'd like to hear others' thoughts as well. Lemmy seems to be more ubiquitous and has better app support, so I think that would be better so serve. I don't think that hosting both would be a good idea, as it'd create fragmentation in an already niche area.

...or something else

That's a cool way to do chats though, I never thought about live updates on the tag.

I also heard the term "refug.ee" before in c/[email protected]

There are a few towns that became their own internet providers b/c the big guys wouldn't bring them either any or adequate service and they realized they could do it themselves more cheaply. They had to fight anti-socialism propaganda and of course lobbying and disinformation campaigns from the big providers, despite the fact that they had no intention of ever going there.

I just looked in to it b/c my browser isn't showing it either. It turns out the alt text is just for when the image doesn't load or screen readers. The title text is supposed to be for tooltips, or what you'd get if you hover over the image.
