On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

    Unless Piefed gets a database import ability to port Existing Lemmy databases to that I don’t think Switching to it would be such a great idea. It would mean starting our instance from scratch and losing everything we have content, user registrations, communities. If Sublinks hadn’t stalled it could be a promising alternative, and maybe will be in the future, since it’s built around that whole concept of database and API compatibility.

      Not really, because PieFed can already copy/migrate community content.

      Futhermore, there are lot functionalities that will improve your user experience as tags, flairs, tile view, multi-community, filter, wiki…they did that in 6 months whereas it was a lemmy issue since 2020.

      PieFed is compatible with Lemmy API. But, it still a WIP, we need more python developper. :)

      I’ve been swaying all admins on the team to (in a year or two??) maybe switch to piefed. I’ve also helped a bit with piefed development directly; even helping with some migration tool rimu/AP are interested in. Hopefully we can in the future :D

      They’re working on that
