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.

NSFW is a big issue, and I’m really sorry to everyone that I missed that. I’m going to try and get a fix up for that tonight, but it could take a day or two to roll out
I actually cache pretty aggressively, but what you’re describing is likely when I chose to load the next page. For example, it might say, “when you’re 50% through the currently feed of posts, fetch the next 50”. This could probably be tuned a little better.

For the second issue, could you compare the loading time against Lemmy.world in Blorp? It’s probably the way I’m paginating, but that will rule out 100% that it’s an issue with Blorp and not a slow response from PieFed.

No need to apologize for a piece of software you are gracious enough to share with us for free. These issues aren’t going to run me a way. :)

Edit: Looks like switching from All to Local(Lemmy.world) there is zero issues. I can’t scroll fast enough to run into the same loading issue as before.

I don’t want to point fingers at anything without looking into it, but I suspect PieFed isn’t as optimized as Lemmy yet. That’s mostly from my own testing, and it would make sense since PieFed is so new. But my testing hasn’t been that scientific, so take that with a grain of salt.
