Comment on PieFed.World is now open

  It's pretty critical to topic feeds. The app I'm using doesn't understand the link consolidation thing that Piefed offers, so I'll see 5 of the same post all together in it. Really I just need to start using a PWA instead of the app until Piefed has better app support.

    As somebody that has done a lot of recent work on the UI for piefed, I have tried to make sure that it works even at quite small screen sizes. I actually just submitted a couple commits in the past couple hours to make the navbar across the top of communities/feeds/topics flow smoother across different screen sizes. The PWA is so far my preferred way to use piefed.

    There is a Thunder fork (not main code last I checked), and experimental support from Voyager and Interstellar, but yeah feature development is so fast that the webpage may be best until more people take the time to add each new feature to each of those apps.

      Interstellar is what I'm using. Generally usuable, but certainly doesn't understand the things that make PieFed special. With so many of the major Lemmy instances spooling up secondary piefed instances, it means it is probably only a matter of time before this issue is resolved.

        I would hope so, and yeah when I tried Interstellar with PieFed (admittedly quite awhile ago, and since then I've forgotten how to make it connect again) the button placements and such were... far less than ideal, having been designed for Mbin. Also I recall something along the lines of when you switch between looking at a Lemmy vs. a PieFed instance you had to entirely delete all of your app data in order to get it to connect (I submitted a bug report to the dev; well, at least I told them here in the Threadiverse so they know and probably fixed that one by now).

        But... I am sure that developing an app is not easy. Which makes me wonder: even when the likes of Thunder and Voyager gain full support for using PieFed the same as Lemmy, will they continue forward and add things such as user & post (community) flairs? And Topics / Feeds? And as you said here the conjoined comments.

        And even if the answer was yes, what about the next feature to come along, and the next?

        But yeah, with all the major shift to PieFed now, and the most-used apps adding support, it seems only a matter of time before not only the forward development but the pace of that too quickens:-).

    Good to know. I want to use webapps rather than native apps as much as possible anyway, so this is probably good.
