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 Iโm 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.

What surprises me most is that using interstellar, I can log in to piefed.ca just fine:

Same as you, I was not able to log into my instance on Voyager but can when using Interstellar
Try build 698, just released :)
Should fix piefed.social. ca still has known issues with admin array not returned for some reason
Hope I'm not spamming - in 703 (just updated) I now get to the login mask on piefed.ca, but then get a connection error when trying to actually log in. But hey, progress!
Not at all. thanks for letting me know (that was the hope of making the original post!) try the next build coming down in a sec
Woohoo, it works! With the limitations mentioned, but login and viewing at least is supported. And in a second I'll know if I can comment :-)
Edit: Looks like I can. Awesome!
Yay!!
By the way, is it too soon to post issues for piefed on the github tracker (or here?), since it's still early stages anyway and stuff is knowingly borked?
Github is great, thanks!
Will do as soon as it's available for me, can't see it on the play store yet. Thanks!
I've updated to latest beta and all piefed instances besides blahaj are throwing the same error for me now.
Thanks for your help, try the next build when it comes down the pipe
Hi, reporting from Voyager on piefed.social. Works great so far. One thing I noticed not working is community search, but it may be on my network end, not sure. Great work!
Updated to 698, no changes on my end - both .social and .ca throw the error message just like before :-/
