Great! I can make the switch off lemmy now!!
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.

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?
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.
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.
Great news, and so fast! Is mbin-support in the cards some time in the future?
That's the goal. Especially since the compat lib is separate, I'm hoping to get it mature enough to the point that it could eventually be community maintained.
Trying iOS beta and itโs only seems to want me to create a new account when trying to add piefed.ca. I already have a piefed account.
