Yes and no. Its the same aggregated content but the underlying software running piefed instances is different than lemmy. The websites internals are made by different people with different programming language. On a surface user interaction level a piefed instance is the same functional thing as a lemmy instance and can be treated as such. They all use activitypub protocol to federate between instances whether its piefed or lemmy.

The main difference IMO is the personal politics of the people who make the software and run the instances. Lemmys main developers are controversial in regards to politics and administration practices on the main .ml instance. I don't want to be associated with that anymore. Also piefed is in very active development already has cool features that lemmy doesn't with a sleek default layout.
