It’s a performance piece.

Might be a federation issue. Try viewing the URL at the bottom of the post.

Great question. For one thing, it’s built to be a general Piefed video game community. There’s another one on piefed.social but it’s way more meme heavy and into “gamer culture” instead of just video games.

As for why Piefed and not Lemmy, it’s because Piefed communities are portable. That is, if the admin proves to be awful or a server threatens to shut down, you can just move the community elsewhere.

Also, audience. I crosspost from @[email protected], an account that has 14.5K followers. So lots of comments come from Mastodon and Akkoma.

Finally, content. Less outrage culture. More games. Many which you’re likely to have never played before.

Not an issue with the community itself, I just have a hard time federating to lemm.ee from atomicpoet.org. Whenever I tag [email protected], my reviews don’t reach there. Piefed is much better when it comes to crossposting from Akkoma.
