in different social networks I often see a table of fediverse alternatives to centralized social networks like twitter = mastodon and so on, but I noticed that the alternative to reddit is piefed and not lemmy, can someone explain what kind of fediverse project this is, and is it different from lemmy?๐Ÿค”

Piefed is cleaner. Also it's not made by Stalin's fanbois.

    Lemmy's devs may be tankies, but doesn't the piefed software come pre-built with instance blocks that can't be modified?

    Kinda sounds like the choice between a brand-new Ford Pinto and a Toyota Hilux with 800,000 miles on it

    No. It does come with a default list of blocked instances, but that is fully admin configurable.

    The block/silence list people have been referred to is piefed.social specific, which is often mixed with the software in general because it's the "flagship instance".

    Are all other Lemmy instances made by commies? I know .ml instance is developed and maintained by them.

    It's grown beyond it's roots and unless you are donating money to .ml you're not really supporting a cause by using it especially if you join a non tankie instance.

    Piefed uses karma and that's one of the things I left redditto get away from.
