Yes. Pretty much all of the content on PieFed is from Lemmy communities.

I'm kinda curious if there are any active communities actually hosted on PieFed. I think it's still too new for that to develop yet.

I guess this counts as one.

Oh, cool, that link loaded in my iOS Lemmy client (Mlem)!

So the difference between PieFed and Lemmy mostly becomes interface? Or is it the server backend?

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

It's both the interface and the backend, but the backends still share ActivityPub compatibility, so they can still federate together. Kbin/mbin are also different software but similarly are able to federate with Lemmy (and the rest of the fediverse) via ActivityPub.

As both projects continue to develop, there could emerge significant differences in functionality, but it's far too early to know.

Some differences are listed here https://join.piefed.social/features/

It sounds like the advantages are really for the instance owners.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 7 months ago

Nope, scroll down a bit further to the section titled "Differences between Lemmy and PieFed".

Thank you. I need to read this.
