  • From videos I watched, the big issue is them losing their market position. They took a big hit when Apple ditched them and made their own chips. Now they’re losing to AMD and Nvidia in the server space. Their newest desktop chips are under-performing. The consumer market is getting more competitive with Qualcomm joining the space and Nvidia/AMD preparing ARM chips. They made a lot of factories for producing chips but it sounds like they’re struggling to lock in a major buyer. Now they’re ejecting tens of thousands of employees in the next few months because they’re hemorrhaging money.

    TL;DR they’re getting screwed from every front and either it will take them a long time to recover or they’re going to be left behind.

    What advantages/disadvantages does it have over Lemmy?

    It has more features, such as flairs, a way to move communities somewhere else, the ability to see comments from all crossposts, multi-communities, and it has a much faster development pace. The UX still needs some work, but that can be improved over time.

    From a technical perspective it’s made with Python which is much, much easier to use than Rust and attracts more contributors. From what I understand it’s easier to host too.

    Can I see and interact with PieFed instances and communities from a federated Lemmy instance? What about the other way around?

    Yes and yes.

    Is there a way for people to migrate an account from Lemmy to PieFed? What about the other way around?

    You can export your Lemmy account settings and import them to Piefed, but not the other way around.

    What android app options are available for PieFed?
