Yeah and as you have pointed out, the PieFed API is very new and not as mature yet as Lemmy's, so there is value in waiting for it to advance while you work on other things like Svelte upgrades.
So long as you enjoy yourself in the doing, it's all good π
I somewhat disagree: I used to use Facebook, then left that and joined Reddit ! whether I joined Reddit or not though, either way I was leaving Facebook) then left Reddit and joined Kbin, then left that when it imploded and joined Lemmy, then left that, and fortunately PieFed was coming up at the time. I view most social media as "bad" - at least for myself - and the interactions I was seeing on Lemmy were not worthwhile for me to remain. But if you enjoy it, that's fine, I am just sharing my experiences.
And you asked "someone can just fork it and add the missing features", which seems like a competition to me since you aren't going to contribute to both Lemmy development (in Rust) and also PieFed (in Python): someone must make a choice where their time & efforts are going to be directed at.
Which if you choose Lemmy again is fine, but I am pointing out that it is in fact a choice being made. Hence I hoped to help inform that choice by pointing out some of the reasons to choose PieFed rather than Lemmy, which either way that ends up getting chosen will lead to increased efficiency and fewer regrets moving forward, with the cost having been counted in advance rather than discovered only much later on in the process.
Further, I would argue that the set of considerations is quite different for a mere user vs. someone thinking about actually contributing to development of a codebase. Even for an instance admin, I would hope that such a person actually would look at what is technically better than something else, before going to all that effort to set something up that will require much maintenance in the future. Of course, to each their own, I was just sharing my own thoughts on the subject.
Context: I made a poll on PieFed about the new post flairs (so if you are one of the few hundred people who have a PieFed account, follow that link and answer there). Unfortunately Lemmy has neither polls nor post flairs, so this post is to open up the discussion to the wider Fediverse, or rather the subset of it that encompasses Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, which is called... what exactly?
Is Threadiverse too traumatic & tainted by association with Meta's (all but entirely defunct) Threads? Is The Verse too cool/poetic/nerdy (but niche) to be understood? I highly advise against Lemmyverse bc mainstream normal people are far less tolerant of tankies than we who are here are willing to put up with. Simply listing the software available sometimes is the best option - like the Interstellar app supports all of Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed, but most support at best 1 or 2 of those - but usually is too long to say and does not roll off the tongue, plus will just keep growing as time goes on. Is Forumverse thus the least bad of the available options, or perhaps you have a better idea? π‘
Anyway, the start to a listing:
(Not my OC, so thought I'd share, if it works despite the defederation)
Not my OC, nor even current, but I hope it makes you smile nonetheless

Except they still don't care, and resent you for edumacating them. Whatever you say, they "win". Welcome to the post -information age.
Later: why didn't you do the thing I asked?
The secret is: it's always your fault.
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
Oh hell naw. I'm maintaining my sanity by letting Jon Stewart tell me all about it afterwards:-).
Roughly one year ago, you say? Gee, I wonder what could possibly have happened roughly one year ago, hrm? Can't really think of anything particularly memorable that happened roughly one year in the past... [them, OP and all the commenters]

I mean, Trump is also defending genocide too though...
So the law would demand it, but the "trust me bro, I got yo back" defense says to ignore what the law actually says?
Okay, I think I will.:-P
