Comment on We have launched a PieFed instance!
Goodeye8@piefed.social 3 weeks agoHopefully voyager dev takes a look at piefed integration. I would absolutely love to get back to voyager but for me getting away from lemmy was more important than sticking to voyager.
@aeharding@vger.social mentioned working on Lemmy v1 support before considering PieFed. Lemmy v1 hasn’t launched yet.
I am considering adding support in my Lemmy client, but that likely wouldn’t be for a few months. And I also think Lemmy V1 would be the priority.
I'm in no hurry. If it comes within a year I'll be happy.
Why
Strictly personal reason. When the lemmy devs asked for monetary donations I voiced my concern with Lemmy.ml, which they also maintained. In response one of the devs called me a cheapskate, so I decided I'm done with Lemmy until more normal people become maintainers
100%. Not just controversial but childish. It’s completely poetic karma that they’ve become a minority in their own network. Repeating the same patterns that got them exiled elsewhere. Basically doing it all again. Having learned nothing.
What was your concern with lemmy.ml?
They’ve got a lot of genuine tankies on there, and not just the „West is bad“ kind, but also a lot of „The Russian invasion of the Ukraine is justified and the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen“
they are basically pro-ccp, russia, and most authotarian in nature, much like lemmygrad, and hexbear.

For me it was the deduplication that takes me to PieFed. I’m only using Voyager at the moment as I’m lying on my side and the PieFed PWA rotates.
Here’s hoping Voyager updates to support PieFed.

Oh my gosh, I was just experiencing the PWA rotating thing and it was driving me nuts trying to figure out how to stop it. Nothing else on my Android auto-rotates, and I didn’t immediately see any settings that could stop it. It seems like all PWAs created from Chromium (Vanadium to me) do this on my phone. I created the PWA from my Firefox app (Ironfox to me) and it seems to work fine, though it uses my installed Firefox extensions on the PWA - notably I have uBlock Origin set to block images above 50kB until I click them, which I have mixed feelings about using in conjunction with PieFed.

Thanks for the tip!
I think it’s something that the author defines when creating the PWA so it’s difficult for us to override it.
