Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I'm blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren't we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

All your saying is, it looks better. I am not using any Lemmy webfrontend, I've always been using the apps that are available, many of which are absolutely polished.

There's more than that.
Stuff like feeds, topics and better onboarding.

For people that care about that sort of thing, that’s great. I just need the ability to subscribe to communities and comment on posts and Lemmy has been great for that while using voyager

I run a Pixelfed instance. The code is faaaaaaaarrrrr from polished. Its buggy and the admin interface either doesn't work or is poorly implemented. I'd rather run and moderate Lemmy than Pixelfed. I have considered just shutting it down several times. I run the instance https://social.photo/.

People are talking about Piefed not Pixelfed

I know, I read it wrong :(

Piefed is another federated social aggregator https://piefed.social/ akin to Lemmy.

I know, I read it wrong. Because I'm a ding dong. :(

It doesn't really surprise me that pixelfed is buggy ngl. It is still polished to the end user.
