Wow it’s been a crazy month and a half of working on this. This PieFed update was a doozy (mostly due to code debt in decoupling Blorp from Lemmy), but I’m so happy it turned out as well as it did.
Try it yourself!
You will need to click the user icon (top right cornet), login or add account, then select a PieFed server
PieFed support is still a little experimental. I’m currently working through some issues with comment loading. But I’ve been using PieFed with Blorp for a couple weeks now, and I love it.
If you decide to check it out, keep the app up to date for latest PieFed bug fixes.
Edit: anyone reading this in the future. The NSFW issue mentioned in the comments has been fixed in v1.9.2.
Congratulations, it’s a really great app!
Consider changing the default instance for https://blorpblorp.xyz/home/ because at the moment when you go there half the posts are 4chan screenshots. Was that the vision you had for your app or were you hoping for something more? To me, that’s a really off-putting first impression.
That just Lemmy doing Lemmy things lol. Because I support Lemmy and PieFed, idk if I want to change the default to PieFed at the moment. But if you were interested in hosting blorp.piefed.social, I can help you set it up with piefed.social as the default instance.
Edit: My biggest concern with default instance is another lemm.ee scenario where the instance shuts down.
Cool, that’s a possibility. I’ll look at your docs and get back to you.
Thanks! A couple changes may need to be made, so you can configure it how you like. Feel free to open an issue if you notice anything missing. Check the .env.example to see the existing options
