  • Well, if you look at the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social i included NodeBB. 😅

    In this post too 🥹

    Forumverse : for any news and features about Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB, PieFed

    So it can’t be Lemmy,Mbin,PieFed. And i’m adding flarum.

    However, we can create separate category :

    • aggregator link : lemmy,mbin,piefed
    • forum : nodebb, flarum
    1. Thank to Meta, i don’t like it…
    2. My favorite one, it remind me of forum era
    3. Abstract and beautiful. Poetry, bible and verb. Something we have never see before 😊.
    4. i’m against. Link aggregator shouldn’t be tied by a software name but a global concept as thread of forum. If i have 6 softwares…do you write them all ?
    5. linkagg lousy but pratical. Bad name are the best. 😎

    I think we should redo the post, but, for now, let’s see where it go 😊

    Edit : added answer







  • I use :

    microblog

    • mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 characters limit. But…i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascism. And i’m not fan of its UI
    • IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of the best UI on the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 characters is enough

    forumverse

    • lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
    • Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don’t use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
    • PieFed i’m starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.

  • Well i think Piefed is pretty close to being a drop-in remplacement.

    It’s true there are several missing components. however, i recall it was the same for Lemmy 1,5 year ago. And Piefed is catching up in few months.

    How close ? Let’s sum up :)

    On some part, Piefed clearly outmatch Lemmy on several area :

    • admin/moderation board
    • notification (the ability to chose a post/comment/community to follow/unfollow)
    • feed (multi-community)
    • federation with the fediverse
    • tag (to find more related content based on keyword)

    maybe more thing that i don’t know about

    some part are missing for Piefed :

    • mobile app support (but the web mobile is good + coming soon)
    • lacks of theme
    • cross-post
    • notification board (repport/post/coms/idea aren’t separated)
    • comment/post/moderation view
    • media management (lemmy doesn’t have one yet, iceshrimp is the best on that area)

    There are rough edge. Even if some part are missing, it is quite a good experience. In a few months they did lot progress. :)
