UPDATE June 29: Piefed support is rolling out to the official store listings today in v2.37.0 🎉

I'm excited to announce that Voyager now has experimental support for logging in with Piefed! You can try it out today on:

This will roll out to the official app stores and vger.app soon(tm), once I’m confident there are no major regressions. If you prefer not to switch to beta builds, just hang tight.

Please note that Piefed support is EXPERIMENTAL! There are still many things that don't work quite right, which I'm hoping to improve over the coming weeks.

The basics including scrolling home/all/local, viewing posts, blocking, commenting and voting should work well. However there are some known issues:

Can't sign up for a Piefed account in-app, only log in with an existing one
Subscribed communities list is empty (should be fixed soon!)
Inbox tab doesn't load
Comment search doesn't work
Profile upvoted/downvoted doesn't load
No moderation tools
Mark as read doesn't persist
Creating/editing posts is currently untested
...probably a bunch of other stuff too, please let me know below!

Behind the scenes, this interoperability is made possible thanks to aeharding/threadiverse, a new library I am working on to normalize various threadiverse-software APIs. It's open source so any project use it, but it's under heavy development right now. What's cool about this is in the future, adding support for mbin, or whatever else is possible!

Again, feel free to try it out and let me know if there are any more issues to be documented and fixed.

This might be the wrong place to ask. But anyway, can someone please explain the difference between Lemmy and PieFed to me? I've searched a bit and it seems that both are doing roughly the same thing, but with a different fediverse protocol or something?

I’ve noticed link images are very pixelated when browsing piefed (piefed.social specifically) but then same links look fine when browsing lemmy. I’m guessing this is a piefed side problem (or maybe an instance configuration choice?).

Yeah, piefed thumbnails are pretty small. I don't know if that's a per server config or not though. Probably something to ask the piefed devs

@rimu@piefed.social do you have any insight? Apologies if this is poor etiquette 😅

Trying iOS beta and it’s only seems to want me to create a new account when trying to add piefed.ca. I already have a piefed account.

Great news, and so fast! Is mbin-support in the cards some time in the future?
