What is it?

Software package whose instances can federate with Lemmy instances.

More limited native client support is probably the most prominent downside to PieFed that I’m aware of. Use Interstellar for PieFed; it can also do Lemmy and Mbin. Usable, but not as mature as Eternity on Android. Getting more development than Eternity, though.

Biggest PieFed feature that I’m aware of that Lemmy doesn’t have is migration of communities. Was really useful for lemm.ee communities, as that instance was going down, and PieFed instances could import their history if a mod wanted to do a migration. I haven’t really gone looking for features, though.

From a developer standpoint, Lemmy is written in Rust, PieFed in Python, and Mbin in PHP.
