Is it still Lemmy, or is PieFed close to overtaking?
That’s the beauty of it - it doesn’t matter, since it’s all the Threadiverse. Lemmy, Piefed, mbin, whatever else may come along. As long as they all use ActivityPub, they’re all interoperable, and people can choose whichever one suits them best. Afaik, though, Lemmy is still far and away the most popular right now
most posts on the piefed feed are posted by lemmings so nahh
but we can be successful collectively ;)
that's the spirit!
And here's a problem. Even I, pretty tech savvy user, can't keep up with all this. I look away for a moment, and you'all on a new meta already, all the old servers are bad now and all the cool kids on a new system already. I can't imagine anyone with an advanced grass-touching ability being able to keep up with all this shit.
In theory it really shouldn't matter. You choose your instance, and it's up to the instance admins to make decisions about backend software choices. It's possible that we'll get to a place there it's possible for admins to migrate a server from Lemmy to Piefed or back again without loss of content, in which case all the user would see about it would be a change of default interface.
I'm on Feddit.uk, which has several different web interfaces to choose from, and I mostly browse using a mobile app (Boost). It really makes basically no difference to me whether it's running Lemmy or Piefed.
It shouldn't, and yet. When I joined, I spent non zero amount of time choosing an instance. Then one of the instances I chose shut sown. The second one defederated from a bunch of others and now I couldn't read any comments because if the thread contains a comment from defederated instance the whole thread disappears. Then I moved to .world and then discovered the reason all those instances got defederated so I switched again, and now one of my instances is very slow because money run out, and now there is a new kid on the block so inevitably I will have to move again at some point.
Don't get me wrong, I still believe in all this Fediverse thing, but boy does it make it hard to do sometimes
...same-same
Either way, it is successful.
Has anyone come up with a name for the corner of the Fediverse that includes Lemmy, mbin, and PieFed?
Yes, "threadiverse"
Collectively, they're part of the Threadiverse, which is a subset of the Fediverse that focuses on threaded content. Technically, though, Mbin is not strictly a part of the Threadiverse, as it also allows microblogging.
The c's? (for the /c/ links for the communities here, and it sounds like "the seas")
