Is just the same as lemmy? What makes it different? Is it similar to kbin? Why is it meant to be better according so some people?

Gotcha. That’s a non-starter for me then. I hope I’m not the intended audience for piefed. I never visit Facebook pages for the same reason.
I could be entirely wrong, but that’s what it looks like, yeah.
Absolutely hate registration walls as well.
“I just want to see what’s there”
“Make an account first.”
“Is it worth making an account?”
“Make an account and find out” “Oh you must provide a valid email to verify” “Surprise fucker its spam forever”
You could check out another instance, for example https://feddit.online/ , which is visible without signing in.
Piefed.social used to be open for all, but I suspect it needed to be restricted due to AI scrapers. Not sure exactly what the reasoning is though.
You can find a list of instances here: https://fedidb.com/software/piefed
Seems to be 100% Lemmy content
There’s no real difference, content flows freely between the two platforms.
I’m writing this in piefed - does it make my comment “piefed content”, while your comment is “Lemmy content”?
The distinction makes no sense. And that’s the point - use whatever platform you prefer, enjoy the same content anywhere you go. There is no “piefed content” or “lemmy content”, only content. :)
I suppose its good that there is a fediverse alternative to Lemmy. We’ve seen some things to be concerned about from the authors of Lemmy. Should Lemmy go too far, there’s an active alternative in place to take over.
