To see it in action:

Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)

Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch

Example of search for 'movies'

Oh great, now I can check if my Taylor Swifties Markov Chains are more popular in Meta’s piefeed instance over Microsoft’s 🙄 /s

Folks, please don't not fall for Popularity Biases. Just because one instance has more robots talking to each other, doesn't mean you should join the community.

In the case of 'movies' used in the OP at the end, Piefed.social has much less users than Lemmy.world, so that does not really fit what you are saying.

!movies@lemmy.world is almost only composed of a single poster sharing articles from the Guardian.

!movies@piefed.social has a diverse mod team, with dedicated threads for movies, weekly discussion threads, and people sharing their own reviews.

Now, what you have just exemplified is the way: community based introductions.

So thank you for curating👍, and sharing your thoughts on them. 🫶
