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™, 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.
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.
Did you click this? You want to login, not join
Thank you I was picking the server 1st not login. Now it just keeps saying connection error (either way). Tried both username and email and pasted password cuz I am old with 2 cataracts ;-).
Ah, it’s not you, piefed.ca is the main piefed instance people are having issues with. It looks like its just running a slightly outdated version of Piefed, hopefully fixed soon!
Thanks I thought it might be that. Read somewhere that if instance was not updated. Hehe figures it would be mine. Thanks for your help. Will wait til it’s fixed.
