Disclaimer: if you prefer Lemmy, you would still be able to interact with the new Piefed community as if it was a Lemmy community (e.g. : https://lemmy.world/post/30619912). The main pro here would be able to recover all of the past content in an active community, compared to only having it archived in a lemm.ee community.
So the Piefed/Lemmy choice wouldn't really change a lot for a user, you can still use your platform of choice to interact with the community.
Now, about Piefed itself:
Feature-wise, it is already ahead of Lemmy
App support is starting, with Interstellar supporting it (https://piefed.social/post/817564) and Thunder going to work on it (https://lemmy.world/comment/17459098)
Also, I'm not sure about the "final project of a CS class" aspect, it's not like Lemmy doesn't have its own quirks and issues ([email protected] , all of the features above missing).
Of course, the UI could be improved (I still prefer the Lemmy UI, probably a matter of habit), but as the Piefed API has now been enabled, we can expect Photon, Alexandrite and others to support it too in the future.
