With the lemmy donation push recently and the problematic views of the main devs being talked about again I am sure you will hear more people asking about piefed and *bin.
Ok I got Piefed sort of working. I didn’t realize they only have 2 api severs – that are listed, maybe there are more? They also say their API is 95% the same as Lemmy, but I’m noticing immediately that that 5% is going to be annoying (e.g. they seem to use post.title instead of post.name). Other random things are broken.
I know nothing about Piefed, but why didn’t they just fork Lemmy? I think I’m going to have to pick one of the API’s to optimize towards. Likely Piefed would always feel a little more broken in my app compared to Lemmy. Unless they make their API 100% compatible.
I’ll try to get you a link to a branch build of Blorp later today that you can mess around with Piefed on it.
I would love to support every feature people ask for, but I fear committing to Piefed support would 1) negatively impact Lemmy support in the app and 2) spread me too thin to maintain this app. I think I would rather have someone fork Blorp for Piefed support. I think it could be done pretty easily.

Idk if it was tongue in cheek or not, but I think they mentioned being able to make new features faster using Python than rust.
