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™, 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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Great work on the threadiverse interoperability library!
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
Edit glad to see rolling release of version 3.14, if there is anything irrational about it don’t worry it will periodically resolve.
Fuck yeah! More donations coming your way, dude.
Thanks for the reminder, I just tipped via ‘settings > Support Voyager’ in-app. Been meaning to for a while anyway, but this deserves reward.
great suggestion I just did the same
Me too
Thanks! to everyone that supports Voyager ^^
Don’t forget to support your instance/piefed/lemmy/etc too!
Do they even get enough donations to pay for the $100/year Apple developer account fee?
I’d hope so. I’d imagine at least 100 people are giving a dollar
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.
Seeing same at beta.vger.app/posts/piefed.soc… on firefox + chrome PC desktop browsers now.
I think I saw that issue on first login. However it should go away on refresh/restart app, does that work?
After restarting phone, slrpnk good on app.
Can’t login to piefed instances on app.
Can login, is not loading piefed.social at beta.vger.app/posts/piefed.soc…
On desktop browser a little later.
After restarting laptop, working well on desktop firefox browser beta.vger.app/posts/piefed.soc…
Thanks! Try the next build ([697] d0aef95), it should fix these problems.
@aeharding Found update option, bingo! Working great on desktop and android phone Firefox browsers, check app later, after restarting
Only android app is not allowing login to piefed even after update, everything else is great 👍
Thank you.
Should work fine, hmm what is your sort set to on that page?
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.
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?
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.
https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/890 Yeah I think piefed.ca is just a bit outdated. Things are moving really fast, this was only fixed a couple days ago.
That’s probably it!
I did an upgrade last night, but just did another one again. Try now?
Just gave it a shot and I am having the same error.
@[email protected] help? =)
Seems like it works now!
Weird, I haven’t done anything…
I think I’m on the same discord as one of the admins, let me check.
I’m getting the same error with piefed.social though, just tested - I don’t have an account there, but the error comes when I select the server, before even being promoted to enter my credentials.
piefed.social should be fine, that’s what I’ve been testing with! I’ll keep my eyes out though.
i’m having the same issue with piefed.social, i reset my password and double checked logging in with the web worked.
having the same issue at piefed.blahaj.zone so might be my device. This is so cool thank you so much just knowing it’s gonna happen is delightful.
How strange. Only other thing I can think of is Piefed will rate limit API logins, to 6 per hour. After that it will fail.
That seems low. I’ve increased it to 20 per hour.
Are those login attempts per user, or overall API logins?
I just got an update from google play this morning, though the version number is still 2.37.0, and I still get the error. On both piefed.social and .ca, no idea. I don’t even get to the login screen, the error comes when I select the server and click “next”.
Tested logging in to Lemmy, which worked just fine - sending this very comment through Voyager.
Would it help if I share my logs?
.ca has known issues. .social should work though. What build number do you see on the About page?
Beta Track [697] d0aef95
Try build 698, just released :)
Should fix piefed.social. ca still has known issues with admin array not returned for some reason
Same as you, I was not able to log into my instance on Voyager but can when using Interstellar
So I can get to the login page on preferred.social, which is the piefed testing instances with all the newest features, there I get the voyager popup that support is experimental etc., so maybe that can rule out device/general connectivity issues?
Amazing !
I’ve noticed link images are very pixelated when browsing piefed (piefed.social specifically) but then same links look fine when browsing lemmy. I’m guessing this is a piefed side problem (or maybe an instance configuration choice?).
Yeah, piefed thumbnails are pretty small. I don’t know if that’s a per server config or not though. Probably something to ask the piefed devs
Yesterday I merged in a PR that lets the instance admin set the sizes for thumbnails.
But the real issue is that the thumbnails have a variety of uses - in the PieFed web UI thumbnails are shown quite small so 170px is fine. But some mobile apps might show the thumbnail in a manner that spans the whole screen which is going to need to be at least 350px wide.
I’ll make PieFed generate a 500px version of the thumbnail and include that in the API response (as well as the smaller one).
Great!
@[email protected] do you have any insight? Apologies if this is poor etiquette 😅
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 :)
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 have the same issue on android. Web app works like a charm.
Ah cool. I gave the web app a try and looks like all the piefed servers work except for piefed.ca lol. Lucky me.
It works for me now. Update and give it a try.
Lol. I know it’ll get working soon.
Exciting times though.
Nice.
Piefed.ca still not working for me.
I tried piefed.world … that doesn’t work either.
But .social, . zip and the others seem to be working so that’s good.
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?
I wasn’t able to get logged in either.
FYI, @[email protected] is the main account
Oh thanks! I’ll change my comment to reflect that.
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!
That was a major hurdle for me too
Is there a way to access it with Obtainium (e. g. github project releases) or F-droid?
Thanks this is a great project.
Yes, you can grab the latest apk from any commit to main, for example:
https://github.com/aeharding/voyager/actions/runs/15814901858
Usually you can just use Obtainium with the latest release, but Piefed support hasn’t had an actual release yet.
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.)
Happy cake day!
Hey thanks, I didn’t realize! Two years is a long time on such a new platform and I’m super here for it!
💜
And happy 🍰 day!
🫡
Thanks for the call out! Time to test this out
NICE!!!
