Lemmy and PieFed are very similar, but I think PieFed has many important features that Lemmy does not yet have, and with their focus on better UX I feel is going to make it come out ahead in the long term.

It would be great if there was a Voyager app for it.

I will probably investigate after Lemmy v1 is released, no promises though. Support for two platforms would add a significant amount of development overhead.

According to the PieFed developers page:

The API for third-party apps (frontends, bots, etc) is 95% the same as the Lemmy API.

I don't know if there's anything special that Voyager needs to do. Maybe it even works already!

It's likely small changes and it should work.

It's a whole new market Voyager can capture if they're the first or best good Mobile app for PieFed

I hope they do. If not, as soon as PieFed has a decent stable app, I'm switching. The deduplication is just too good.

dedublication? Omg, that's one of the most annoying thing in lemmy.
