Reddit is removing custom emojis
Thats right, reddit is removing its horrible implementation of custom emojis, in its ever ongoing journey to lose all feature advantages it has over lemmy. Now we only need them to remove post tags and user flairs, and lemmy will be superior in every single way.
They are really deadset on removing every single community customisation out there!
Piefed are working on flairs, let's hope the Lemmy devs follow suit!
If Piefed keeps going the way they are going, we might all end up switching over in a year or 2. Lemmy is fine, and very stable and functioning, and just a reliable system, but Piefed seems willing to go above and beyond.
People smarter than me will need to weigh in on the scalability of Python vs Rust, but if that's not a concern then that may be what happens.
Probably requires something like Lemmy.World doing a migration, though. Lemmy as a software still has the highest pull by way of being the the predominant one. That's just how people work.
Also Piefed needs more apps. The huge variety of Lemmy apps is a massive draw at the moment.
what's the appeal? I've run into no reasons to switch, and I don't even use any apps.
