Feedback on whether to host Lemmy or Piefed for niche community (piefed.social)

I'm considering launching a server for some fediverse applications for a niche group. Since the Lemm.ee announcement, I got back in to PieFed, partially because my company blocks xxx.zip (lemmy.zip, etc). I would want to make these fediverse services easily available and reachable to newcomers.

I'm thinking of sticking with Lemmy and maybe the photon UI instead of the default, or have the default hosted at another address. I like the features of PieFed, but I think that the lack of apps could be a barrier to entry.

I'd like to hear others' thoughts as well. Lemmy seems to be more ubiquitous and has better app support, so I think that would be better so serve. I don't think that hosting both would be a good idea, as it'd create fragmentation in an already niche area.

If you launch on PieFed, which seems better all around, the server is still completely accessible by anyone who prefers to use Lemmy apps isn't it?

correct, they're pretty interoperable and federate with each other.
