I think people leave because of the lack of niche communities.

Reddit niche communities are like crack. None of the fandom communities are active here.

Does piefed have good moderation tools?

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

From an instance admins perspective, yes.

Otherwise it's about on-par at a community moderation level. It has a few other things but they don't present as viewed from Lemmy, mitigating their utility at the moment.

That is also true:-). What they say for themselves is (1) tankies, (2) toxicity, (3) too confusing (this must be Lemmy bc PieFed's sign up wizard is outstanding), and (4) yeah, lack of content.

I haven't moderated a community on PieFed, but in addition to what Skavau said, PieFed has many tools that alleviate the need for moderation in the first place, like keyword filtering (you wouldn't need to make a community rule to reduce the amount of Musk or Trump content when users can filter that out on their own without needing a mod to do it for them) and user icons (next to e.g. highly contentious users with >10-fold more downvotes than upvotes, so you better know what you are getting into if you choose to respond).
