Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

So the difference between PieFed and Lemmy mostly becomes interface? Or is it the server backend?
It's both the interface and the backend, but the backends still share ActivityPub compatibility, so they can still federate together. Kbin/mbin are also different software but similarly are able to federate with Lemmy (and the rest of the fediverse) via ActivityPub.
As both projects continue to develop, there could emerge significant differences in functionality, but it's far too early to know.
Some differences are listed here https://join.piefed.social/features/
It sounds like the advantages are really for the instance owners.
Nope, scroll down a bit further to the section titled "Differences between Lemmy and PieFed".
Thank you. I need to read this.
