I like it better than Lemmy. There’s more features, and, maybe I’m weird, but I like the Piefed web interface better than Lemmy’s.

Umm, because I want the high.

Or, and hear me out, NO.

Trump just signed an Executive Order saying that France wasn’t allowed to do this.

The sad thing is, you don’t know if that’s true or if I just made that up.

I like the interface more than the Lemmy interface, but it also has a number of cool features that Lemmy doesn’t have. And the update schedule is crazy good. PieFed 1.5 has only been out about 3 weeks, and the dev just released 1.6 today with more features, updates, and fixes.

Not to mention that there is some… questionable… behavior by the Lemmy devs. While the PieFed dev may not be perfect, he doesn’t have the baggage the Lemmy devs do, and I feel better using the PieFed software. It all connects to the same stuff.

Since your Lemmy account is only 3 days old, I would recommend switching over to PieFed. It’s a much nicer experience and federates with all the same servers that Lemmy does, so you’re seeing the same posts but in a better way. You’re on lemmy.zip, and the same devs run piefed.zip.

With a little curation of your community subscriptions, you can get a very similar experience to Reddit but better.

Thanks for this, and I did try it. It sort of worked, I had 400 and change subscriptions, and it got like 180 of them. The rest errored out. I don’t know if that means they’re inactive or just not able to be transferred.

Yep. You can export your subscriptions through the settings, and then import them into a new instance.

I was afraid of that. That’s going to be a major hurdle in getting anyone who’s already established on Lemmy or Piefed to move over to Mbin.

Okay, dumb question…

I signed up for an Mbin instance some time ago, but I never used it. I couldn’t find a way to import my subscriptions from Lemmy, and I didn’t want to have to manually subscribe 1 by 1. I went back to look, and I still can’t find a way.

Am I just missing it, or does it not exist?

I do not. I don’t game on my laptop.

I don’t know where you should go, but please stay away from mine! 🤣

YES! Exactly my point. Thank you!

You don’t have to go back that far, just look at digital music. People were trading files on Napster, and the music industry was having a fit. Steve Jobs opened the iTunes Music Store and started selling all files for .99, people started gobbling them up, and piracy went down. Then along came Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc., and most people are happy to pay. Why, because it’s so much easier and convenient than trying to pirate it and get it on your phone/player.

Don’t get me wrong, people still pirate, but the percentage is low compared to what it was before these easy legal options. People will always take the easiest route, legal or illegal.
