What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? (lemm.ee)

Every time I go to the piefed frontpage I'm blown away by how much more polished it is. It has all the bells and whistles that lemmy is sometimes missing.

Whats the catch? Why aren't we recommending everyone goes to piefed instead of lemmy?

App support is one thing I can think of.

I've never seen a Lemmy DB, sorry. But I hang out in the Lemmy matrix rooms and read about admins struggling with their 300 GB databases quite often.

Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.

Migrating the images as in media? The discussion is about database sizes.

The biggest DB I have is the one from alien.top, which got close to deal with 600k mirrored bots and 10M posts + comments. The database was clocking around 25GB.
