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.

    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!
