So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

    Yeah I hate that cropping effect, though both Lemmy and PieFed do a similar thing in not quite “cropping” but only showing the first image, and then when you click through to the full post you can see a second or more images. So I just get used to clicking on the image and having it render in full in its own little pop-up-like state (where it takes over the screen, but that’s more intrusive than the pop-out that Lemmy does).

    I suppose it depends which communities you browse regularly - like for the main meme and shitposting comms that pretty much only ever have just the one image I see what you mean, but for comics or certain communities like tenforward there’s often a second bonus image that makes it worthwhile to have gone into the post, which I usually do anyway in order to read the comments. Lemmy’s pop-out is primarily useful when you don’t care about reading the comments at all.

    Also, it looks like the blorp alternative UI (see in action at https://blorp.piefed.world/home) doesn’t crop, maybe?
