PieFed Meta elena • 1 month ago • 100%

Hello everyone! I'm new here... I had been testing Fediverse interoperability on Lemmy but I didn't like what I saw: there were several quirks and flaws that made no sense to me. Several people mentioned PieFed as an alternative and that's why I'm here - I'd like to compare/contrast features and see if PieFed does things differently. I should mention that I have a blog whose mission is to introduce the Fediverse to non-technical people, to get them to leave the walled gardens of Big Tech: [The Future is Federated](https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/fediverse/#post-list) . I've been doing a show and tell of interoperability [between Mastodon and Pixelfed](https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-1-mastodon-pixelfed-2/) , [Friendica and the rest of the Fediverse](https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica/) and I've shown [what happens when you federate a Wordpress blog](https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-part-2-wordpress-fediverse/) . My new focus in on the "Threadiverse", so Lemmy it is. I was disappointed when I published my first post on Lemmy ([https://lemmy.world/post/18635732](https://lemmy.world/post/18635732)) and noticed that: 1) hashtags don't work 2) account mentions don't work either (and I was told they do federate in comments, not the first post - whaaaat?!?) It's cool I was able to find my original post on here ([https://piefed.social/post/198179](https://piefed.social/post/198179)) and I wonder if you have any tips / words of advice regading things that PieFed does and Lemmy doesn't do. I'm really curious. And please bear with me, I'm going to mention my Mastodon account ( [@\_elena@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/@_elena) ) and my Lemmy account (@elena@lemmy.world) to see if anything happens when I hit post. And bear with me one more time and let me try hashtags here, like #TheFutureisFederated. Thanks for your patience with this newbie! 😅 Elena Edit: I included the URL of my Mastodon profile to see if it would federate
