What to choose between Lemmy, Mbin and PieFed, features-wise?
Since users and communities are equally accessible, I just need to know what are the pros and cons of them, I really can’t figure it out without a extensive time of use

    • Do you want microblogging alongside regular forums?
      • YES: Choose mbin.
      • NO:
        • Do you want a native app?
          • YES: Choose Lemmy… for now.
          • NO: Choose PieFed.

    I’ve been very interested in PieFed and kept a close watch on it; the only reason I’m on Lemmy is the lack of a stable API on PieFed (which means no apps). Here are some of the reasons I believe PieFed is superior than Lemmy:

    • More lightweight to host; imo makes it “more decentralized” since the requirements to self-host are less and thus available to more people.
    • New and innovative features
    • Responsive developer
    • PieFed is opinionated to foster a positive environment. The platform itself is designed in some places to be unattractive to tankies, nazis, trolls, transphobics, etc.
    • I don’t believe in seperation of the art from the artist. The artist somehow always profits from the art, be it donations, paywalls, etc. The developers of Lemmy are tankies, and one of them is a transphobe.
