What makes it better?
For what it's worth, the developers of Lemmy are leftist, which I personally appreciate. Not very common in my experience to have openly socialist developers on popular FOSS.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Absolutely, that kind of perspective is exactly what I miss on most platforms.
What's PieFed exactly?
New fedi software
What does it do differently than Lemmy?
To be fair it does look better than lemmy, but:
-
The lemmy devs could change the app's look if they wanted, you can even ask them on their github.
-
If I learned anything from the KSP2 debacle, it's that pretty looking software can hide terrible code under the hood. Don't take the look to seriously and try to gauge how good the code is instead. Until someone who know codding tells me how good it is, I'm not buying that it's "a better alternative".
what piefed does better than lemmy that'd benefit lemmygrad. knowing them would be helpful to answer your question
I couldn't see any reason to move to piefed. It looks so similar to Lemmy. What makes it "better"?
