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.

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

Edit glad to see rolling release of version 3.14, if there is anything irrational about it don't worry it will periodically resolve.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Fuck yeah! More donations coming your way, dude.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 24 points 1 week ago

Thanks! to everyone that supports Voyager ^^

Don't forget to support your instance/piefed/lemmy/etc too!

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for the reminder, I just tipped via ‘settings > Support Voyager’ in-app. Been meaning to for a while anyway, but this deserves reward.

Do they even get enough donations to pay for the $100/year Apple developer account fee?

Wow I did not expect this to happen so fast! How exciting!

Signed up and I'm just patiently waiting for the update to show up.

Thank you so much for doing this. I have always been so impressed with Voyager.

Really love seeing PieFed emerge and now apps adding support is great.

The fediverse is so cool. Time to make some donations :)

@aeharding@vger.social

Is this the best place to talk about bugs or give feedback?

I finally got the update. The login screen is able to find Piefed servers but it fails to connect to them.

It says "Problem connecting to piefed.ca. Please try again."

I tried the other Piefed servers for fun but they all gave the same result.

Oh actually piefed.blahaj.zone was recognized but that was the only one.

Let me know if you need any other info or if there's elsewhere to post this style of thing.

Thanks again for everything!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 2 points 6 days ago

piefed.ca is running slightly outdated version, hopefully that's fixed soon :)

piefed.social should connect, that is what I used to test. Are you seeing issues with that instance?

[–] kobra@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

I wasn’t able to get logged in either.

Great work on the threadiverse interoperability library!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 21 points 1 week ago

Thanks! It wasn't part of the original plan, but I was working on lemmy v1 support and realized there was a lot of breaking changes to the API, and I wanted to support piefed down the road anyways... so perfect storm

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 1 week ago

Amazing !

[–] rimu@piefed.social 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Great news, congratulations!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 11 points 1 week ago

Thanks rimu!

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I love literally everything about this announcement.

I want to try other fedi platforms but have MAJOR inertia thanks to apps.

So I’m fucking thrilled the one I prefer also wants to prefer all the things

Brb ima spin up an account. I fucking love you voyager, and everything your team does (I assume it’s a team? If not I love you very specifically. Yes you. I love you.)

And happy 🍰 day!

Happy cake day!

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago

Hey thanks, I didn’t realize! Two years is a long time on such a new platform and I’m super here for it!

[–] ericbono@anonsys.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

@aeharding

Thanks for posting.

Logs in, loads up, shows my profile, hangs when I go to posts page. True for piefed.social on beta and android apps just now .

Lemmy.world seemed to work fine.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 7 points 1 week ago

Should work fine, hmm what is your sort set to on that page?

Exciting news! Posting from the PWA now. 🎉

If I’m not mistaken when you install the TestFlight version it replaces the stable App Store version. For those with the App Store version installed you can use the PWA at the same time without disturbing your main setup.

Backing up settings and restoring them works too. Just mentioning an another way in case it helps someone.

Hot Diggity Daffodil!

Uploading an image for a post seems to fail.

Problem uploading image: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'url'). Please try again.

(Also, it case it wasn't obvious, this is most excellent news! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to aeharding!)

[–] aeharding@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Works now, I'll get it fixed tonight :)

edit: fix deploying!

I'm unable to log in with my existing piefed.ca account (which works with the interstellar app).

No real explanation given, just a generic error.

Haven't used voyager before, so it's not an older app or missing update, I went straight into the beta.

Great! I can make the switch off lemmy now!!

[–] fievel@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is there a way to access it with Obtainium (e. g. github project releases) or F-droid?

Thanks this is a great project.
