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?

Thanks for the call out! Time to test this out

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?).

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

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.

When I went to do the iOS TestFlight it asked me if I want to replace existing Voyager, you may loose all your data. I don’t want to lose my data. Can someone testing let me know if all your data does get deleted or not?

Before you install the TestFlight beta you can go to Voyager>Settings>Backup and Restore Settings. Save the .json in Files app and it can be used to put your App Store version back to how it is now. I’m not sure how well the import setting works in the TestFlight version so I can’t speak to that.

Alternatively, you can keep the current app the way it is and install the beta PWA then use them simultaneously. You’ll have to adjust settings to your liking but this way if you decide not to continue using the beta you just delete the PWA.

Thank you, found it, backed up.
