-
I thought they was supposed to be similar but I don't see microblogs in piefed? Is Piefed closer to lemmy?

I see that piefed has topics which is like a collection of communities, kind of like custom communtiies in reddit but shared across the server. Is microblogging going to be added or are they sticking to the threadiverse?

It works with micro blogging if I recall. It also does quite a few things that work with the fediverse as a whole if I recall. You can for example see all Peertube videos on it whereas on Lemmy it's a hit and miss.

Yeah, PieFed is more geared up for what ActivityPub terms 'Groups' (communities on Lemmy, magazines on Mbin, video channels on PeerTube, categories on NodeBB, certain type of blogs on WordPress, a.gup.pe groups, etc.).
Whenever we see someone from a platform like Mastodon, it's because they've interacted with one of the above Group-types. There's already a bit of inter-op that you don't find on Lemmy - e.g. you can create a Poll for the people following you as a user, and they can vote on it - but there isn't the ability to follow them in return, like on Mbin. I believe improvements to things like this are on the 2025 Roadmap.

PieFed dev here.
PieFed is closer to Lemmy, yeah. Microblogs (i.e. the ability to follow mastodon profiles and have their posts show up in your timeline) are on the roadmap for this year.
Currently, Mastodon users can follow Piefed accounts and the posts from PieFed will show up in the Mastodon user's timeline. Those posts can be replied to the the reply will show up in PieFed. But not the other way around.
-
Another thing on the 2025 roadmap - currently the topics are under control of the instance admin but soon any account will be able to create a topic and add communities to it. People will be able to join and leave topics, just like they currently do for communities.

Thanks for all the work you do! Piefed I believe has the potential to greatly expand the fediverse.

Ok... can someone make a new fediverse map? I'm loosing the count here.

There is already a more up-to-date version of the second graphic (including mbin and loops):

Thanks
