I jumped to piefed a couple of weeks ago. Copying my feeds from lemmy was fine (also grabbed pugJesus’ to round out the collection.) I liked the topic browsing etc so subscribed to a bunch of other communities but often just find myself on all sorted by scaled.

I don’t think there’s any real consequences to switching, I rather like the UI and a couple of handy features but admittedly am still just using the front end website rather than an app.

I’m testing piefed nowdays. Quite easy transition and no consequences.

if you’re LGBTQI+ (or an ally), lemmy.blahaj.zone is decent. The admins are great people too, unlike some other instances.

Fortunately it is way easier to say which instances to avoid lemmy.ml for political reasons and lemmy.world because it’s way too big. I don’t think I have to mention hexbear and lemmygrad.

Regarding Piefed - I made the switch some time ago, but I don’t notice a difference since I am using the voyager app. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is auto filling titles in link posts, but yeah that’s not a biggie

I don’t want you near my instance if you’re gonna abbreviate “account” like that. Just keep your distance there, friend.

Kind of depends on the topic you want to post about. If you wanna post about books go to literature.cafe for example. There are some of these specific instances

dont know what the consequences would be.

What could they be? I mean, if you don’t like a specific instance, or if it stops working, you just stop using it and create an account elsewhere (saying that as a piefed user, btw ;)

What consequences could there be? You can have more than one account. Explore freely. Maybe you’ll like the change?
