Unfortunately, the time has come for me to leave Lemmy. Time will show where we all end up. I’ll see you in the future… maybe sooner than you think?
Edit: Follow up post is here. Don’t worry. You’re not getting rid of me that easy. I’m just switching to piefed.world
YT:
Is this merely switching from Lemmy to something else, or are you leaving the fediverse completely?
If it’s the latter, then I wish you the very best of luck. I don’t know you very well, but I remember you having had some personal issues in the past. Hopefully those aren’t coming back and you’ve just decided to simply move on. Regardless, your memes and shitposting will be missed.
Good luck to you! Or, as a wise man once wrote, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”
Yeah just switching to Piefed.world, no worries. Sorry I made you waste all that effort <3
aye piefed gang
What is a piefed?
I’m an idiot and it’s hard to explain but this announcement explains it pretty easily.
It functions on the fediverse, just like Lemmy, but is a different platform/front end. They function damn near identically but Piefed has a more active development team that actually responds to requests and a dev team that isn’t transphobic as hell. That’s the selling point for me. I think the only feature that’s not available on Piefed that I use pretty often is being able to paste images into text blocks. Fairly sure they’re working on that too. You can upload them, there’s a clicky for it, but it just won’t automatically upload and paste the link like it does on Lemmy. Literally the only thing “missing” that I’ve noticed.
What did the Lemmy dev team do that was transphobic?
you should have a look at this https://lemmy.ca/post/26211900
Thanks! Making an account
Not worries. Meant every word. Plus I got to make an H2G2 reference. Everybody wins.
Hell yeah. I’m just sad I couldn’t find a way to weave towel into something. I’ve been going through some shit and I am TIRED.
Any chance they’ll become fully interoperable? I mean, besides the standard fediverse account stuff. Ideally, being able to scroll my All feed on piefed and seeing Lemmy posts in there. I just don’t want to go back to a ghost town like the Lemmy of 2 years ago.
Also, thanks for all the posts! You and Picard were the backbone of this place in the bad old days.
EDIT: I just noticed a piefed post in my feed. The future is now!
EDIT EDIT: It was a piefed user, I’m dumb.
They fully work together. You can see piefed posts on lemmy and vice versa! From my understanding anyway. Just go to lemmy.world/c/support@piefed.world or something and you should be able to see posts with no issue.
They only offer Premium LITE now, which feels extremely ironic after rejecting it all these years. It’s like: “So, you declined my offer for years but have you considered… a WORSE OFFER, human?”
Given how much tech likes to play “later then” with consent over a hard no i can only conclude their management is full of rapists
But will it continue to be your last post in the future? Or is it simply your last post at this moment?
Oh, any specific reason you’re switching software?
Piefed has a few extra features that I like and I know that the couple features that are currently missing are on their way. The development team is pretty quick to respond which doesn’t affect me a ton but I don’t want to support a shitty dev team. Which then lines up with the third big reason, the Lemmy devs are transphobic assholes. If I’m going to be posting a lot then I don’t want to be doing it using what they made.
Also Fxomt is convincing.

This is kinda a big deal for me too tbh. Do you happen to know, is there a good (android) piefed app, or is it website only for now? I imagine there’ll be some of their aren’t already, but my brief play store search wasn’t very fruitful.
I don’t actually know and I’m kind of ashamed to admit that. I’ve heard that Voyager has got some early support but I know nothing about any other apps. I’m sorry!
Voyager does support PieFed now, and, while it’s still developing, it’s come along quickly and can be used as a daily driver. Interstellar also supports PieFed, but I like Voyager better (just personal preference I guess). I’ve seen that Mlem is working on PieFed support for iOS.
Voyager does have some support, can confirm!
Haha, convincing or persistent? I guess he can be both :p
Deeeeeeefinitely a little of Column A and a little of Column B lol
LMAO
I’m unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support
🫡
I use boost on my phone too! Definitely waiting for implementation from Ruben. But I don’t mind waiting. The dudes a superhero as far as I’m concerned.
Big big shoutout to Boost for Android. FANTASTIC APP and my favorite by far.
YouTube keeps showing me offers to give me two months premium for free, but when I click it they offer only one.
I’m pretty sure this is illegal in the EU but I can’t be bothered so I stick with the ad blocker and reset the cookies every once in a while.
I’m sorry to see you go. If you change your mind, we’ll be here to welcome you back with open arms. Be safe.
Oh don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere. I’m just a supreme asshole and figured I’d announce my switch to piefed.world in the most irritating way possible <3
You cheeky bastard! 🤣
I use Revanced, and I still get the occasional ad for premium. It makes me chuckle out of pity every time.
I thought federated meant people see your posts no matter where you log in. But if going to piefed means you’re “leaving” lemmy, kthxbye I guess. I don’t see the need for an announcement.
If you’re using a 3rd party client like Boost or Voyager it might not recognize the pifed domain as an activitypub instance… our friendly devs are doing there best
I’m just looking at lemmy.world in a web browser - does that count?
I continue to download all videos and watch them locally to skip out on ads. Some channels bake them right in the video, but a few quick mouse clicks jump me over that garbage. When downloads stop working, I will find something else to pass the time.
The king is dead! Long live the king!
