Why isn't piefed.social available on Voyager? (lemm.ee)

piefed.social is a very popular instance, and I feel it's really beginner friendly, why isn't it an option on Voyager?

I believe because it's not just a different instance, it has a different backend to lemmy (voyager is a lemmy app).

Same reason why you can't login to a Mbin instance on voyager. Only lemmy instances work with voyager.

Edit: I'm so bad at explaining but maybe this analogy helps: think of the difference between piefed and lemmy the same as mastodon and lemmy: the content is connected but they are different kinds of software.

Ah I see, that's a shame

I think piefed doesnt have an app yet, and it came relatively late to the fediverse as an alternative to lemmy, but I have high hopes they will finish an app soon!

I know it's a bit of a bummer to be an early adopter of stuff at times, but the bright side is that it's all exciting. I like the fediverse more and more every time I notice an update.

It's been 1,5 years since I joined and holy moly was it cool to switch from webapp (jerboa app was there, but it was just not for me) to voyager when it was released.
