I’m not new to link aggregators/communities, but new to those outside of Reddit. About a month ago I joined Lemmy and today my curiosity led me to Piefed, although I’ve come across the name before.

My research told me Piefed is developing at a much faster pace than Lemmy, is that true? I like the onboarding of Piefed better, because it allows you to select things you might be interested in as part of the process, which is helpful. Overall, it’s a much more guided approach.

I’ve also gotten to know it doesn’t really matter for the average user which of the platforms one joins. So I’m specifically posting this question on a community on Lemmy through my Piefed account.

I’m based in Europe if that makes a difference, which I believe it doesn’t. Nonetheless I’m happy to read your thoughts. Thanks

    It can be disabled, but IMO, choosing to leave its default so low is pretty hostile towards your most dedicated users. I know you don’t agree, but as seen by the pushback you received, many dedicated users in the fediverse’s already small userbase were against that design decision. I’m not trying to attack you, and I’d still rather use PieFed than Lemmy, but a user looking to set up shop somewhere will want to know about design philosophies like that, whether it affects them immediately, or is just something they may be concerned about in the future.

      whether it affects them immediately, or is just something they may be concerned about in the future.

      There is a 99% chance it won’t effect them because 99% of people don’t vote more than the quota. I was very careful about that.

        Thanks to both of you. In the end if the data backs up what you’re saying then so be it. I’m obnoxious to what the quota is, but I doubt I’d go beyond any quota.
