They say that, but it shows the wrong profile name for me, and on a post with 120+ comments it only shows me five. In time they'll get there, although I kinda hope Voyager adopts it since I'm more used to that as an ex RiF refugee.

I see, thanks. Yes, let's hope so, now that the API is on apps can consider working on compatibility

What do mean by wrong profile name? You went into your account overview and it showed a different username from the one you were signed in to?

I'm looking into this as we speak.


Please bear with us, as the PieFed API has literally just been enabled mainstream. The only PieFed user base we've had up until now was in a testing environment.

Ok. So I wanted to retire my old username BagOfHeavyStones since it was kind of odd. I thought ok, I'll have to use a new email address (using the + option on Gmail) and create a new account. However, to my surprise, PieFed allowed me to create a new profile but still keep the same email address.

Now, that is kinda handy, but I suspect most apps would not anticipate this. As a result, when I posted in Interstellar it showed my old username as the author, but the PWA displayed the new one.

Not sure if this link will work: https://piefed.social/post/813652#comment_6420389

Thanks for all your work!
