I’m new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it’s pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)
I’m not super savvy but couldn’t they merge them and have the community hosted as mirrors of each other on both for redundancy? If I’m wrong, do correct me, again, not super savvy and also new here.
PieFed is just a Fediverse platform that aims to inter-op with Lemmy in much the same way that it aims to inter-op with any other Group-based platform (MBIN, PeerTube, NodeBB, Wordpress).
Lemmy’s “quirks” are the reason why your account won’t see Polls from MBIN, or channels from PeerTube, or posts from NodeBB, or backfilled content from Wordpress.
It’s not my intent to criticise Lemmy, but these are verifiable problems, whereas it doesn’t seem fair to criticise PieFed for problems that you can’t clearly remember.
It wasn’t my intent to criticize Piefed either, just trying to not over sell it to new users, I’d rather not them be thinking it’s a perfect drop-in replacement, and then have a sour taste in their mouth when they run into an issue
