I tried PieFed for ~2 minutes before switching away from it. What didn't work for me was the theme selection. The default dark theme was too dark & high contrast for my taste, and the other themes were just too bright or colourful for my eyes to rest and read easy.

There was one theme I liked but it introduced a spinning element in the top left corner of the page that kept catching my eye.

Is it petty? Yeah. Could I have mitigated it by installing a browser plugin? Probably.

The spinning element has been removed recently, there are some cache issues that might explain why it's still there.

Which instance were you using?

When did you try it? The spinning thing was removed about 2 days ago. Did you try more recently than this?

That was just about a week ago now, not long after Lemm.ee announced it was shutting down. I was more concerned about a different instance that I immediately could get on with and ultimately I found the theme selection to be a hurdle. Again, yeah I know it's petty.
