What Features Make PieFed Better/Worse
What features made you choose PieFed over Mbin/Lemmy?
What features do they have that you’d like to see in PieFed?
You're viewing a single thread.
Not really a feature but I like the general look and feel of PieFed. I think the user interface feels polished even though it is still quite early in development.
mbin on the other hand just doesn’t feel as comfortable to use. The layout feels unnatural and the buttons are in unexpected places. Also I really dislike the unconventional terms such as “magazine” and “boost”. (I know they came from kbin)
I hope PieFed will keep the UI clean while adding new features. I am quite confident with the devs based on what I have seen so far.
Thanks for all the hardworking devs providing such wonderful applications.
Edit:
Expanding on what I like about PieFed:- The "new communities" and "active communities" section on the sidebar are more useful than I expected.
- Killer feature: Grouping cross posts and viewing comments from different posts in the same view
- Voting is private. This gives me the peace of mind when I downvote a post from a snowflake.
- Instance blocking that works
votings never private when someone can spin up a friendica instance and see it all, or since its activityhub anyone could make an app exclusively to see downvoters.
It's private because there are essentially two of you, and your vote is the anonymous you.

"PieFed accounts now have two profiles within them - one used for posting content and another (with no name, profile photo or bio, etc) for voting. PieFed federates content using the main profile most of the time but when sending votes to Mbin and Lemmy it uses the anonymous profile. The anonymous profile cannot be associated with its controlling account ..."
Wouldn't that make it easy for ppl to run a piefed instance and mass downvote without showing whos doing it?
Didn't know that. But at least the extra steps make it less convenient I think.
