      I’ve seen the Reddit users be more receptive of PieFed over Lemmy. In a post suggesting Lemmy, the Reddit users will just comment that it looks ugly, it’s confusing, devs are tankies, etc. Posts suggesting PieFed get less complaints and more signups.

      Also I think the instance choice is easier for PieFed compared to Lemmy. If you tell people to use Lemmy, they’ll probably end up on lemmy.world which is overpopulated, or lemmy.ml…

        This is why I stopped promoting Lemmy and switched to PieFed.

        UX is everything, and Lemmy UX sucked. The default UX (for your average user) is dog shit.

        People want ‘it just works’ and PieFed offers that more than Lemmy does.

          Thanks! I personally think as long as people land in the fediverse, its going to be ok. But its cool to give some highlights to piefed.

          Also congrats on making a “controversial” post! Thats how you know its good :D

      Yeah but this is like when Disney makes star wars tv shows. Ignore what the current audience likes and use the show as a vehicle to try and tell them what they should like.

      I didnt think they could do worse than Discovery but the Academy is incredibly bad. On the plus side, Im rewatching Deep Space Nine again.
