I would complete ignore whatever politics of Lemmy or PieFed people try and sway you with. Way too many people on here trying to start drama.
In my experience, Lemmy moves slow but things are very stable. PieFed moves fast adding lots of features that Lemmy is missing, but tends to break things a little more. Both are very useable platforms.
I’ve personally had great interactions with the Lemmy and PieFed devs, and I know they collaborate with each other behind the scenes.
And if you’re unsure, I would just make a PieFed and lemmy account and try both. But the specific PieFed or Lemmy instance you choose might matter just as much as which software you choose.
Their findings are uncomfortable: code churn (lines reverted or rewritten within two weeks of being committed) has roughly doubled since the pre-AI baseline.
Whether you are hand crafting code or using AI tools, you goal should be to solve the problem in front of you so well, that you don’t have to touch that part of the code for years. It’s not always possible, but that’s a good goal to strive for.
A better way to leverage agentic coding imo is:
Pretend you’re a senior engineer and you hate this implementation. What would you do better
Find the edge cases in this PR and write test cases to prove them
Quiz me on my understanding of this part of the codebase
Here are very detailed descriptions of real user flows. How can we design tests to cover this behavior
Etc
There are a lot of idiots that just put Claude on autopilot and merge everything without reading the code. Thats like if the airlines got rid of the pilot and only had autopilot in an empty cockpit. Of course things are gonna go wrong
I think it's kinda unrealistic to put this burden on the user. If big images are an issue, then Lemmy/PieFed should compress images, either on the client side or at the API level.
I have never rated a show regardless of finishing it. What do you all rate it on? The service you watched it or something 3rd party like rotten tomatoes?
Still based on Firefox, right? I think most of the forks are more independent than the original, but it takes a huge R&D budget to build and maintain a browser. My understanding is they all still depend on the upstream browsers they are forked from. But maybe librewolf is different. Idk tbh
That’s why it was a hot take. Been here for a little over a year. I know there are Linux phone users here, but I suspect 80-90% of people here use Android. Just an educated guess, but I could be way off.
As far as browsers, everything is basically based on chrome, safari, or Firefox. I don’t think anyone has successfully finished a fully independent browser yet. Emphasis on finished, as I know there are in progress projects.
Hot take: Lemmy complaining about Brave is like Lemmy complaining about Android. Suddenly Google pulls some bullshit and Lemmy realizes that they are not much safer using Android than iOS. Choosing browsers is the same. You want everyone to use Firefox because it makes you feel safer, but Mozilla will screw you over almost as quickly as Brave will. Every option kinda sucks. Don’t act like you’re better than everyone.
Real Lemmy users don’t use Firefox, they browse the web with curl
All social media content was actually created in 2015. No new content was created since then. Most people don’t know this, but 100% of TikToks are just reposts from Vine.
I’m American but I don’t drink soda. But if you fill this with water, I don’t think it’s that ridiculous? My point is, it’s not the amount of liquid that’s the issue, it’s the soda. Stay hydrated (with water).
I would say Blorp is a client that started out as Lemmy, but is slowly becoming a 1st class PieFed client. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I’m hesitant to call it a perfect PieFed client until I add support for polls, events, and feeds/topics. I’m working on some of those features right now.
I already have support for post flairs, and I just added support for locking comment threads. Both of those are PieFed specific features.
Since PieFed is in its early stages, I’m able to collaborate on API decisions. As a more mature project, I’ve found Lemmy a bit more rigid with its decision making. But there’s a certain excitement I get working with PieFed. It’s so new and full of possibilities!
TL;DR If you use Blorp with PieFed, you’re gonna have a good time
As in multi community feeds? That should be coming to Lemmy in v1.
