MODERATORS
I would liken Pixelfed more to Instagram, but otherwise accurate
Is PieFed Reddit too?
Yeah it's basically like Reddit and it's interoperable with Lemmy and Mbin.
Maybe just imagine them as different ways to view the same content and they each offer their own features.
But essentially they are the Reddit replacement of the fediverse.
Piefed is more like Slide or one of the other alternative Reddit clients
More privacy, cleaner Python code anyone can help improve, less weird rightwing science denialism
yes, and so is mbin
Plume for blogs, NodeBB for ~~databases~~ Discourse-type of forums (source) and Pleroma and Misskey also for Twitter, I think
Also Mbin mentioned in other comments for both Reddit and Twitter-inspired experiences
Also maybe worth noting there's some degree of interoperability between instances? Like Misskey often displaying full text bodies from posts from threads-types of sites, Mastodon running Peertube videos as attached videos, and Mbin, Misskey and Mastodon users being able to follow users on pretty much any instances, and Lemmy and Mbin (and probably Piefed though still to confirm) being able to follow Peertube channels as communities.
Misskey is Tumblr.
wafrn could also be tumblr
