I don’t want to be the guy to tell my boss I’ve bricked the F-35

I used Lemmy for months, mostly in the browser and my UX was absolutely horrible.

The default browser UI sucks.

I had to try many different settings and eventually through a lot of effort found the Photon UI, which is nice.

The vast majority of users just won’t go through that effort. PieFed’s default UI is quite clean and modern and much nicer to use, which is why I promote it instead

I’ve tried to promote Lemmy on Reddit in the past, only to be met with people complaining about the really old UI and bad UX, they also complain about tankies.

PieFed doesn’t have that bad rep, so I’ve found it easier to promote, both lead to the Fedivers so either is a win.
