5808 active users, 2 more than in March.

Some of this will be due to new features in the latest version but I think most of it is because previously PieFed was not accurately keeping track of user activity. Now that it is, the numbers are bigger.

    PieFed is software.

    Many Lemmy instances also ban users, in fact its flagship instance Lemmy.ml is famous for it.

    Yours is a very sensible instance, which btw also offers a PieFed equivalent in PieFed.zip.

      EDIT: DISREGARD MY COMMENTS - This was in fact a bug, and seems to have been fixed with the latest update. Just checked my old account logins and they work now.

      I was mainly referring to the flagship instances. I am on a smaller piefed instance as well, and have had no issues. At least with Lemmy, they would give you a reason, but in my case they acted like it was a bug. So draw from that what you will, but that has been my experience, and I am currently unable to register an account on a primary piefed instance, without being given a reason for that being the case.

        Props for publicly walking back a bold claim, looking into it further, realizing you were wrong, and admitting it. You love to see it. We don’t die on hills.

        PieFed is a lot newer than Lemmy and while it has some more features (also some less features, depending on the feature), it overall lacks polish in comparison.

        I’m glad they were able to get you sorted out:-).
