tl;dr - Please only upvote this post if you want Summit to support PieFed.

I was supposed to start doing these starting from v1.64.0, but I forgot so apologizes.

I will start creating one of these posts per major release to gauge interest in PieFed. Y'all have until the next major release to vote. If any of these posts reach 200 upvotes before the poll for the next release I will make the next release focused on adding PieFed support.

Thank you.

Oh they did? Do you know how? I mean, one way would be to know all the domains of Fediverse software and then rewrite them, but that seems practically impossible and very error prone. I would rather see some convention like for communities.

I think it has to do with activitypub, where Mbin follows the link, extracts some activitypub details from it, and then displays a link to the local version of the thread based on these details rather than showing the link itself. They also extract community icons and the user name of the OP.

It seems it might not work consistently 100% of the time, but when I've seen it it has been pretty useful, and it should at least be possible in theory. :)
