    I'm still trying to understand the difference between Lemmy and PieFed, but they seem to be fully interoperable...?

    Yes.

    The Threadiverse has multiple intercompatible "Reddit-alike" software packages.

    • Lemmy (the biggest). Example: https://lemmy.world/ Written in the Rust programming language.

    • PieFed. Example: https://piefed.social/ Written in the Python programming language.

    • Mbin (the successor of the defunct Kbin project). Example: https://fedia.io/ Written in the PHP programming language.

    There's also Sublinks, written in Java, but I don't know for sure whether that's going to actually get the ball rolling. https://demo.sublinks.org/ Think they need more developers contributing.

    EDIT: Note that while this approach is unusual for the centralized Web-oriented social media era, where typically one company controls the whole shebang and has one codebase, it is common for federated systems. There are many different NNTP server implementations for Usenet, many different XMPP server implementations for instant messaging, many different IRC server implementations for chat, many different SMTP server implementations for email, many different FidoNet implementations.

      I'm rather fond of [email protected] . You need not be a man, and you post about the dull goings on of your personal life (e.g. "made a ham sandwich today," or "fixed my washing machine over the weekend")

      It's always awesome to see the community I created mentioned in the wild!

      I also created [email protected] as an independent alternative.

        Is there a difference between Fediverse and Threadiverse ? Or is just terminology so people understand the link to Meta's Theads?

          Threadiverse is a term for Fediverse platforms that provide threaded conversations, like Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, NodeBB. The term was used before Meta's Threads was a thing.

            I just realized I don't have many discussion communities on my feed. My feed is filled with all news articles and I rarely find any posts written by people to discuss stuff. The communities where they discuss normal life stuff or anything in particular, majorly with texts, is what I want, idk what you actually call them.

            Thanks.

            some of these are "ask" communities which sometimes turn into discussions

                  movies, entertainment, without getting potentially sanctioned or astroturfed like you on reddit for discussing the same things, especially people are so fixated on the actors that they would defend them even if became they became POS. TIL, and sometimes news.

                    [email protected] is General discussion

                    [email protected] is Political discussion

                    [email protected] (not accessible from lemmy.world)

                    [email protected] (inactive, server shut down)

                    [email protected] is a mix of news articles, discussion and anything Canadian that doesn't really fit well anywhere else.
