Feedback on whether to host Lemmy or Piefed for niche community - Cross post PieFed
-
I'm considering launching a server for some fediverse applications for a niche group. Since the Lemm.ee announcement, I got back in to PieFed, partially because my company blocks xxx.zip (lemmy.zip, etc). I would want to make these fediverse services easily available and reachable to newcomers.
I'm thinking of sticking with Lemmy and maybe the photon UI instead of the default, or have the default hosted at another address. I like the features of PieFed, but I think that the lack of apps could be a barrier to entry.
I'd like to hear others' thoughts as well. Lemmy seems to be more ubiquitous and has better app support, so I think that would be better so serve. I don't think that hosting both would be a good idea, as it'd create fragmentation in an already niche area.

I would try both and I will stick with the one I feel more comfortable.
Interstellar is a decent app and supports both Lemmy and Piefed. AFAIR, Voyager has plan to support Piefed (might remember wrong).

A number of apps are already building piefed support. It seems to have some features that Lemmy lacks and more responsive development. I think it's too early to count it out completely.

Indeed, pick one. I prefer Piefed nowadays due to flairs, more granular support for moderation, and other stuff.
Voyager started Piefed experimental support today: https://lemmy.world/post/31839818
