I use voyager and piefed.zip together (that’s what I’m posting from rn) and it’s been pretty solid so far - the occasional post doesn’t load an image or takes a while, but I see that on every instance I’ve tried on both voyager and the webui. That happens like one out of every twenty posts at most tho, so it doesn’t sound like what you’re seeing?

So I'm testing some stuff and was wondering... do you use VPN?
I tried shutting my off and .zip came up right away. I then turned it on again and it worked fine for a time, but after opening the app some time later, it did the same thing. Had to turn off VPN for a moment again for it to work again.
Is your VPN exit node in the UK? Both .zip instances have them geoblocked to avoid issues with the new laws there.
Not in UK. Also, I can open the piefed.zip site just fine in the browser on my device with VPN on...
Crap. Well, that was my easy, low hanging fruit attempt. :)
I’ve been using my Lemmy.zip in Voyager more than the PieFed.zip only because posts saved from a PieFed account don’t show in Voyager yet. However they do actually save and are available to view in browser. Once that changes I’ll be using my PieFed account in Voyager more often.
For a few days I’ll give it more use and see if any issues pop up.
Good thinking though. Thanks for trying.
I also didn't realize Voyager doesn't show saved posts for Piefed... kinda sucks :(
It's been a little while and so far PieFed in Voyager has been working well. I hope your issues got resolved.
If not maybe try the most recent version of Voyager (2.40.0) which fixed various issues including not being able to save or view saved posts/comments with PieFed accounts.
Sweet, thanks for the heads-up. I gave up and used .social account but will try with .zip. Good news on the "saved" stuff being hopefuly fixed as well.
You’re welcome and good luck.
So far so good!
I use Mullvad, with my exit node in Canada
Yeah, that's different. When I switch accounts, the whole thing just doesn't load at all - I got nothing.
Well at least I know there is something wrong on my side.
I have an issue in that every piefed instance I’ve tried works pretty good.
piefed.blahaj.zone, anarchist.nexus.
But quokk.au is broken on voyager.
When it works fine on the piefed ui
