I was just wondering if there are any Android clients for PieFed. Lemmy has a ton, I have like 5 installed on my phone (Sync, Jerboa, Thunder, Summit…), but I don’t think there’s any for PieFed?
Piefed is an entirely different software (“mbin”, a continuation of “kbin”) - speaks ActivityPub but is not a Lemmy API. Reading other comments in other posts, there’s one (and only one) app being mentioned as having beta support for Mbin (code, API) servers.
Edit: 2025-06-12 1300 UTC, the https://piefed.social/ is broken and returning error 500 (as in, it’s 100% broken for users)
PieFed is its own project (similar to how Kbin/Mbin is a different project). It just implements ActivityPub, and is part of the threadiverse, but not a Lemmy instance.
Is PieFed supported by any apps?
I’m homed on .world and can browse instances on piefed using boost no problem
yeah, Piefed uses ActivityPub so that should work, I’m talking more about login in to an app using a Piefed account to interact with the threadyverse.
Interesting Q.
I did just create a PieFed acct, and could maybe test that out.
My phone is Android… what app were you wondering about?

Wait… isn’t PieFed just an instance on the Lemmysphere? So if you have a Lemmy app for Android, it should automatically see PieFed, right…?
(oh boy, I hope that’s the case, because otherwise we got a major problem with the potential migration, yikes)

It should work now?

!interstellar@kbin.earth is available for both Android and iOS.
However, you don’t have to have a Piefed account to interact with a Piefed community, see this post: https://lemmy.zip/post/41125240
