Lemmy is wonderful software. The metaphorical artist leaves much to be desired.
- The piefed user experience has been far superior so far. And less "baggage" for now.
  
  I run a single-user PieFed instance and am happy as a clam with it.
  
  How much data transfer per month does that use these days?
  
  Judging by what little I have at my disposal (my Proxmox summary), netin is the lion’s share of it.
  Here is a clip for you:
  
  How mature is the platform? The last time I looked, they didn’t even have proper version numbers. I don’t see a formal “Join Piefed” prominently displayed in a major top search result. It’s suggested to me that it’s less popular but growing.
  ~~It appears they have such a join page, but it hasn’t worked its way up to the top of my search results just yet.~~

  The bottom of the main page on piefed.social reads:
  PieFed v1.1.1 is free and open source.
  Their releases page seems to have versions:
  https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/releases
  The releases seems to be tagged in their git repository:
  https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/tags
  I don’t see a formal “Join Piefed” prominently displayed in a major top search result.
  I probably wouldn't search for "join piefed" myself when aiming to use piefed, but okay. I don't know what search engine you're using, but on Kagi, the second result for "join piefed" after PieFed's project page is:
  PieFed - Open Source Federated Forum
  join.piefed.social
  
  Nope you’re right. I should’ve put more effort into it. I’ll edit it my comment.
  
  It started of rough. Just like Lemmy. But it's gotten fast patches in the first few days of this server opening to the public. Right now as a user it's pretty transparent coming from Lemmy.
  You just have better blocking, better cross posting. Better profiles. Better tags in piefed communities etc. As well as a number of other small things.
  
  You want a CTA to appear in your search engine before you deem something interesting?
  
  No not necessarily, but it’s reflective of the maturity and acceptance of a platform. It certainly implies a minimum level of popularity. I would to see platforms achieve that in the hopes that they can really take off with general users.
  
  Piefed looks promising, but who runs it? I can't find any info on where the funding comes from.
  
  It's an open source project hosted on codeberg. Funding ATM seems to be on patreon.
  
  Wow, that's even better. I really like their UI and ideals.
  
  Yes. I haven't seen any bios of the core developers yet. But they are all set up with the graphs being very promising.
  
  Well, you can read everything that rimu, the lead dev, posts:

  What do you mean by that?
