Trying iOS beta and itβs only seems to want me to create a new account when trying to add piefed.ca. I already have a piefed account.
Did you click this? You want to login, not join
Thank you I was picking the server 1st not login. Now it just keeps saying connection error (either way). Tried both username and email and pasted password cuz I am old with 2 cataracts ;-).

When I went to do the iOS TestFlight it asked me if I want to replace existing Voyager, you may loose all your data. I donβt want to lose my data. Can someone testing let me know if all your data does get deleted or not?
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. Iβm not sure how well the import setting works in the TestFlight version so I canβt speak to that.
Alternatively, you can keep the current app the way it is and install the beta PWA then use them simultaneously. Youβll have to adjust settings to your liking but this way if you decide not to continue using the beta you just delete the PWA.
Thank you, found it, backed up.
Exciting news! Posting from the PWA now. π
If Iβm not mistaken when you install the TestFlight version it replaces the stable App Store version. For those with the App Store version installed you can use the PWA at the same time without disturbing your main setup.
Backing up settings and restoring them works too. Just mentioning an another way in case it helps someone.
Great news!
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Piefed.ca may be running a slightly outdated build of Piefed, but it's hard to tell because Piefed isn't versioned yet.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?
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.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.

Great! I can make the switch off lemmy now!!
This might be the wrong place to ask. But anyway, can someone please explain the difference between Lemmy and PieFed to me? I've searched a bit and it seems that both are doing roughly the same thing, but with a different fediverse protocol or something?
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.

I love literally everything about this announcement.
I want to try other fedi platforms but have MAJOR inertia thanks to apps.
So Iβm 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 itβs a team? If not I love you very specifically. Yes you. I love you.)
π
And happy π° day!
Happy cake day!
Hey thanks, I didnβt realize! Two years is a long time on such a new platform and Iβm super here for it!
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.
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!
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 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.

I wasnβt able to get logged in either.
Hot Diggity Daffodil!
Uploading an image for a post seems to fail.
Problem uploading image: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'url'). Please try again.
I'm not sure PieFed supports uploading images? I haven't been able to find that option on the web version.
(Also, it case it wasn't obvious, this is most excellent news! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to aeharding!)
Works now, I'll get it fixed tonight :)
edit: fix deploying!
Great news, congratulations!
Thanks rimu!
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
