    The limit between being a Lemmy or Piefed client gets a bit more blurry over time.

    @moseschrute@piefed.social , would you consider Blorp a client for both Lemmy and Piefed, or a Lemmy client that also also supports Piefed?

      I would say Blorp is a client that started out as Lemmy, but is slowly becoming a 1st class PieFed client. I’m a bit of a perfectionist, so I’m hesitant to call it a perfect PieFed client until I add support for polls, events, and feeds/topics. I’m working on some of those features right now.

      I already have support for post flairs, and I just added support for locking comment threads. Both of those are PieFed specific features.

      Since PieFed is in its early stages, I’m able to collaborate on API decisions. As a more mature project, I’ve found Lemmy a bit more rigid with its decision making. But there’s a certain excitement I get working with PieFed. It’s so new and full of possibilities!

      TL;DR If you use Blorp with PieFed, you’re gonna have a good time
