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

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.

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 38 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Fuck yeah! More donations coming your way, dude.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 24 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! to everyone that supports Voyager ^^

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

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Thanks for the reminder, I just tipped via β€˜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!

I wasn’t able to get logged in either.

I have the same issue on android. Web app works like a charm.

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Ah cool. I gave the web app a try and looks like all the piefed servers work except for piefed.ca lol. Lucky me.

Great work on the threadiverse interoperability library!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 22 points 2 weeks 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

Great news, congratulations!

[–] aeharding@vger.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks rimu!

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] compostgoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is awesome, thank you for your hard work! Lack of Voyager support for Piefed was the only thing holding me back - piefed.blahaj.zone, here I come!

@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 2 weeks ago

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

Exciting news! Posting from the PWA now. πŸŽ‰

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.

That is great! I haven't really adopted PieFed yet, but I am trying it and I would love to have the same client for both.

[–] MimicJar@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

edit: fix deploying!

NICE!!!!!!!

[–] viking@infosec.pub 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] aeharding@vger.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (29 children)

Piefed.ca may be running a slightly outdated build of Piefed, but it's hard to tell because Piefed isn't versioned yet. Do you know an admin you could ask?

[–] mintiefresh@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Piefed.ca now upgraded to 1.0.0

I believe they had just updated to 1.0.0 yesterday. And I believe this is the same version that piefed.social is running on as well.

When I try using the web app version of the beta, I am able to see all the piefed servers (.social, .world, .blahaj.zone, etc) but I am still unable to connect to piefed.ca.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I did an upgrade last night, but just did another one again. Try now?

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

[–] fievel@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks 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.

Thanks for all your hard work

Amazing thanks!! Seems to mostly be working for me.

@aeharding@vger.social I think I found a bug though:
Posts on https://piefed.social/c/southafrica don't load in the app
