Got it. So it’s less confusing to users who don’t know what an FE or BE are, but it’s more confusing for new admins who do.

“Instead of running Soapbox on Soapbox, I’ll run Fedibird on Soapbox. Scratch that. I’ll run vanilla Pleroma with Soapbox instead of Soapbox.”

Can you tell me a little bit more about how Soapbox FE and Soapbox BE differ? I’m out of the loop on that one.

Just want to point out that I use Mangane, which is a fork of Soapbox, on my Akkoma server—and it absolutely connects to Lemmy.

From what I understand, Soapbox is just a front-end. The backend is Pleroma/Akkoma.

And by the way, one of the great aspects of the *oma services is that the frontends can be swapped out.

So glad I just switched to Linux.

Might be a federation issue. Try viewing the URL at the bottom of the post.

Great question. For one thing, it’s built to be a general Piefed video game community. There’s another one on piefed.social but it’s way more meme heavy and into “gamer culture” instead of just video games.

As for why Piefed and not Lemmy, it’s because Piefed communities are portable. That is, if the admin proves to be awful or a server threatens to shut down, you can just move the community elsewhere.

Also, audience. I crosspost from @atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org, an account that has 14.5K followers. So lots of comments come from Mastodon and Akkoma.

Finally, content. Less outrage culture. More games. Many which you’re likely to have never played before.

Let’s talk any potential changes to the sidebar via DM. 🙂

Would what be okay?

It’s quite simple: when I tag my posts with @movies@lemm.ee from Akkoma, my post doesn’t show up there.

My posts show up when I tag @movies@lemmy.world with a delay. And it near-instantly shows up when I tag @movies@piefed.social. So for whatever reason, crossposting doesn’t work with !movies@lemm.ee.

Now if you’re wondering why this is important to me: I have over 14K followers on my Akkoma account, so I can attract a lot of conversation with my movie reviews.

Here’s the reason I’m not using this community:

As for !movies@lemm.ee, it doesn’t play nice with Akkoma – so that’s not an option.

Piefed has great moderation tools and superior federation abilities compared to Lemmy.

Not an issue with the community itself, I just have a hard time federating to lemm.ee from atomicpoet.org. Whenever I tag !movies@lemm.ee, my reviews don’t reach there. Piefed is much better when it comes to crossposting from Akkoma.

Not quite. I watched this movie because it seemed like a high-brow rom-com. I admit it: the film poster fooled me.
