List of instances: https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list
Piefed has a few nice features that Lemmy and Mbin lack
- instance blocking
- comments combination, posts only appear once
- keyword filter
- topics (admin-managed feeds)
- user-managed feeds, public and private
- ability to reduce the amount of Trump and Musk content
It doesn’t have an app yet, but it’s in progress
At the moment, it only has 352 monthly active users, so it seems like people aren’t very interested in it yet

Is this the lack of app, or is there anything else?
Probably. I was just surprised quite a few people aren’t aware that feeds/multi reddits are available on Piefed, the point came up a few times in the AMA yesterday
For sure awareness is part of it, most people here probably don’t care nearly as much about platform developments as we do. I’ll also be honest, I was on Reddit for like 4-5 years and didn’t use a multi-Reddit once, I imagine a lot people are like me and just don’t care about them.
I feel like here the need to multireddits is higher due to topic fragmentation across different communities
