PieFed dev here.
PieFed is closer to Lemmy, yeah. Microblogs (i.e. the ability to follow mastodon profiles and have their posts show up in your timeline) are on the roadmap for this year.
Currently, Mastodon users can follow Piefed accounts and the posts from PieFed will show up in the Mastodon user's timeline. Those posts, viewed in mastodon, can be replied to there and the the reply will show up in PieFed. But not the other way around.
Thanks for all the work you do! Piefed I believe has the potential to greatly expand the fediverse.
Yeah, PieFed is more geared up for what ActivityPub terms 'Groups' (communities on Lemmy, magazines on Mbin, video channels on PeerTube, categories on NodeBB, certain type of blogs on WordPress, a.gup.pe groups, etc.).
Whenever we see someone from a platform like Mastodon, it's because they've interacted with one of the above Group-types. There's already a bit of inter-op that you don't find on Lemmy - e.g. you can create a Poll for the people following you as a user, and they can vote on it - but there isn't the ability to follow them in return, like on Mbin. I believe improvements to things like this are on the 2025 Roadmap.
snap!
Ok... can someone make a new fediverse map? I'm loosing the count here.
There is already a more up-to-date version of the second graphic (including mbin and loops):
Thanks 👌
I see that piefed has topics which is like a collection of communities, kind of like custom communtiies in reddit but shared across the server. Is microblogging going to be added or are they sticking to the threadiverse?
Another thing on the 2025 roadmap - currently the topics are under control of the instance admin but soon any account will be able to create a topic and add communities to it. People will be able to join and leave topics, just like they currently do for communities.
It works with micro blogging if I recall. It also does quite a few things that work with the fediverse as a whole. You can for example see all Peertube videos on it whereas on Lemmy it's a hit and miss.
