Before you install the TestFlight beta you can go to Voyager>Settings>Backup and Restore Settings. Save the .json in Files app and it can be used to put your App Store version back to how it is now. I’m not sure how well the import setting works in the TestFlight version so I can’t speak to that.

Alternatively, you can keep the current app the way it is and install the beta PWA then use them simultaneously. You’ll have to adjust settings to your liking but this way if you decide not to continue using the beta you just delete the PWA.

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!

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

Thanks rimu!

💜

And happy 🍰 day!

Happy cake day!

That was a major hurdle for me too

Great news!

(Also, it case it wasn't obvious, this is most excellent news! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to aeharding!)

I'm not sure PieFed supports uploading images? I haven't been able to find that option on the web version.

Piefed.ca may be running a slightly outdated build of Piefed, but it's hard to tell because Piefed isn't versioned yet.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?

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.

It's essentially a clone built on python instead of rust like Lemmy, but they added some other features like advanced moderation tools.

And the more important factor for many is that piefed is not developed by some hardcore communists who disclosed that funding the development of Lemmy automatically co-sponsors lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.org, which host vile Russian apologetics and other nonsensical propaganda, and censor free speech.

I've tested PieFed out for a bit, and I like what they have going on. It uses ActivityPub, just like Mastadon or Lemmy. It's mostly similar to Lemmy, but it has some additional features that are awesome:

• Feeds - In PieFed you can combine multiple communities into a single feed (makes it so much easier to browse through all of the different c/technology posts from Lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, Beehaw, programming.dev, etc.).
• Crosspost View - If a post has been crossposted, scrolling through the comments is organized into sections from each community that the post was crossposted into.
• Delayed posting - Set a future time for when you want your post/comment to be posted.
• Post tagging - Ability to tag a post as a spoiler, discussion, question/answered etc.
• Spoiler tags on a post blur out images.
• User tagging - Public tags for anyone to see.
