I would complete ignore whatever politics of Lemmy or PieFed people try and sway you with. Way too many people on here trying to start drama.

In my experience, Lemmy moves slow but things are very stable. PieFed moves fast adding lots of features that Lemmy is missing, but tends to break things a little more. Both are very useable platforms.

I’ve personally had great interactions with the Lemmy and PieFed devs, and I know they collaborate with each other behind the scenes.

And if you’re unsure, I would just make a PieFed and lemmy account and try both. But the specific PieFed or Lemmy instance you choose might matter just as much as which software you choose.

I noticed this a last week. I have a fix in the pipeline, as well as the ability to share via “content instance”.

Keep an eye out for 1.13.1 in a few days, which will include the fix

Their findings are uncomfortable: code churn (lines reverted or rewritten within two weeks of being committed) has roughly doubled since the pre-AI baseline.

Whether you are hand crafting code or using AI tools, you goal should be to solve the problem in front of you so well, that you don’t have to touch that part of the code for years. It’s not always possible, but that’s a good goal to strive for.

A better way to leverage agentic coding imo is:

  • Pretend you’re a senior engineer and you hate this implementation. What would you do better
  • Find the edge cases in this PR and write test cases to prove them
  • Quiz me on my understanding of this part of the codebase
  • Here are very detailed descriptions of real user flows. How can we design tests to cover this behavior
  • Etc

There are a lot of idiots that just put Claude on autopilot and merge everything without reading the code. Thats like if the airlines got rid of the pilot and only had autopilot in an empty cockpit. Of course things are gonna go wrong

I think it's kinda unrealistic to put this burden on the user. If big images are an issue, then Lemmy/PieFed should compress images, either on the client side or at the API level.
