Very cool, and the best part is that these platforms aren’t directly competing because here I am posting about it on Lemmy. It’s fascinating that the Fediverse can evolve in a way that doesn’t shed users.
Definitely!

So Piefed absorbed a lions share of the lemm.ee refugees it looks like?
that checks out, the closure announcement was made on the 4th of june
in the meantime blahaj also opened a piefed instance, so some of the new users came from blahaj
Lemmy.zip opened up piefed.zip as well.
I’m on piefed.ca! Love to see Piefed gaining traction. It’s a much better experience.
Yup i’ve started using a piefed account to complement my lemmy one. As more featured become fully compatible with voyager and the ability to turn downvotes off becomes a thing on piefed I think I’ll make a complete switch.
Why turn downvotes off?
I don’t think they bring much and a lot of the most “hivemind” behaviours are linked to downvotes.
Someone having a shitty opinion just shows as 0 upvotes anyways so has the same effect.
Plus having downvotes disabled conditions me to basically ignore shitty takes instead of downvoting them and often replying which IMO has made my lemmyverse experience better.
Also, it makes me a little less worried to post what I truly think without conforming to other people’s stuff. Since I don’t care if I get downvoted.
Ty for the insight! I suppose it just makes the experience generally less confrontational.
Lemmy.zip got 800 new accounts, so I’m not sure: https://lemmy.zip/post/42743443

Hope you like it!
Looks like it. Seriously good timing on their part
and at least one .ml refugee escaping that tankie hellscape
I’m one of the migrants of Lemm.ee that moved to Piefed. This is what is great about federation and open protocols as a whole.
I also have a Pixelfed account. “What the hell does that have to do with anything?”- you may ask. Nothing. But some people do mix them up.
So it tripled in size? Noice.

Oooh I was JUST about to make an account then slrpnk came back up. I might make one anyway bc I heard it has scheduled posting, right?
Indeed !
yeah, I joined piefed as a Lemm.eegrant, and I doubt I would have done so otherwise.
