I tried to join when I got banned from Reddit permanently after like 12 years for ban evasion (using a throway account). I joined the waiting list for an invite but still waiting. That’s when I discovered Lemmy, which I’m quite liking. Never heard of Piefed. Is it similar?
It’s still invite only for now but I’d imagine it has to be getting close to the public release. If I had any invite codes left I woulda sent you one! We might get more pretty soon though. If so I’ll dm you one but idk when they’re coming. And piefed is pretty much Lemmy, only it’s powered by Python instead of Rust and it has more moderation features. Pretty similar experience though. You’re not really missing anything if you’re already on Lemmy. Right now, Lemmy/Piefed are definitely more active and mature than Digg. It looks pretty slick but there aren’t a whole lot of users yet. I do like it, I just like it here better right now.
Thanks for the info - yes, Lemmy’s worked out pretty well so far and it’s given me a chance to use the Boost app again, which was my favourite way to use Reddit anyway. Be cool to check out Digg when it’s ready, but Lemmy has definitely filled a gap!

I used to LOVE Boost but now I’m on iOS so I can’t use it anymore 😩
