So, it seems like PieFed is becoming a real alternative to lemmy.

What are the differences between these two? From a tech perspective, and also morality/ethics, if you want. Any differences in vision for these services?

Say whatever is on your mind. I want to know.

On which one should we put our weight?

Edit: I will leave this post here, which is a post by one of the devs of Lemmy that enumerates some of the things Lemmy 1.0 has. Lemmy 1.0 seems to be already in alpha stage and is already testable. The feature selection does look fantastic. Here is the post I am referring to: https://lemmy.ml/post/40744781

Yeah but like. Why not just straight to a profile? That's what masto does.

What exactly do you mean "to a profile"? Can you give an example of the difference (I never used Mastodon)?

Well tumblr and Twitter are the same way. There are no magazines / subforums / subreddits / individual communities (or weren't last I used them). Your profile has your post and people follow other users individually. You can tag your posts but you can use just about as many tags as you want the post isn't bound to any one tag. The only specific thing they're bound to is literally just your personal profile (or anyone who reblogs / retweets / retweets / reposts it to their own profile). A microblog is literally a completely different format to a forum / message board style post while kbin treats it like a forum post lite.
