It's also so much faster when using. I don't know what Lemmy is doing, but the performance can be dogshit.
PieFed is also extremely much more efficient than Lemmy if you are using a data plan: iirc it uses ~25x less data per post. Tbh any server - including PieFed.social - can be slow or unreachable sometimes, and while PieFed.social tends to rarely ever be slow, it does suffer from more reliability issues (there are several other instances running PieFed though, if someone doesn't want to be on the flagship running beta software that's constantly being upgraded - though that has benefits as well as disadvantages, as roughly once a week if not more often you'll discover entire new features have been added:-P). Anyway, I'm loving PieFed over Lemmy!
Depends on where your instance is located too
That makes a minor difference in my experience. Loading comments is often slow.
