Piefed seems like an interesting platform, but I do need a mobile app

Yes, it's currently being worked on. And in the meantime, it can be already be used as a "progressive web app": https://join.piefed.social/docs/piefed-mobile/

A proper(?) app is on the 2025 roadmap, and development of the API and related things already started.

How do Lemmy and PieFed compare like differentially?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Uh, idk. There's also a list detailing that: https://join.piefed.social/features/

It's a different software, connecting you with the same communities and people. Just has slightly different features, a bit more control here and there, a few perks, has a different design philosophy and is written in an entirely different programming language, which affects participation, maintainability, resource usage... You can see how it looks for example on https://piefed.social/ I always struggle to describe the detailed differences, because there are a lot of them and it has a lot to do with what's important to you and what you're used to. It's a bit like describing how a banana tastes IMO. You better have a look yourself.

The developer of PieFed has a list of ideas for how to make PieFed more secure like better encryption
