Now that Voyager supports PieFed, when promoting the Fediverse on Reddit I will be using this going forward

Try out the decentralised Reddit alternative called PieFed, https://piefed.social/  
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install  

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over  

Some of the biggest complaints people switching over have are

  • Not sure which server to choose
  • No onboarding
  • Too much politics
  • Trouble logging in
  • Bad UX/UI (for a lot of people)

PieFed solves all of this, it has good onboarding, login is real easy you can even login with google, during onboarding you can filter out trump/musk spam, UX/UI is lightyears better for your average user, it has de-duplication etc.

The onboarding asks you about your interests and subscribes you to a few communities. It also asks you how much politics you want to see. That's quite better than Lemmy.

And how does it help new users choose a server to sign up to?

To be confirmed with @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social , but I guess they meant that their comment helps by pointing to that instance.

Being able to recommend the flagship instance of the project is a difference with Lemmy

It's different. Better if you prefer following along but worse if you prefer direct control.

For direct control, you can just skip it
