Btw, this is a very old article. PieFed is lightyears ahead from where it was one and a half years ago. KBin ceased to exist. (Edit: And is continued with MBin now.) And I didn’t follow Lemmy’s development so I can make any statement there.
kbin is mbin now
Kbin still exist i’m on it
You’re on mbin, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
Hello fellow mbinauts!
Oh, hey! I suppose technically you’re on MBin? But yeah, now that I’m aware… I regularly see kbin.earth pop up somewhere.
This is one of the reasons using PieFed on mobile feels as good if not better than native apps. The page loads super fast.
People who insist on using native apps should give PieFed
PWA a try.Lemmy is plenty fast, just the UI is seriously bloated. Using lemmy api on a third party app is a smooth af.

If you’re using piefed.social or any of the other popular piefed instances, they’re using CloudFlare. So ya, it’ll be faster because they have CDN all across the globe. Also your login credentials and tracking data will be sent to a cloudflare server without user knowledge.
So ya, I’d rather have a few milliseconds delay and avoid all that tracking and MITM. Thanks though.
I love how fast it is, but the PWA is missing some features like showing likes + dislikes + ratio. Maybe I just didn’t search enough tough.
The crosspost grouping feature is a godsend. I hope Clients like Interstellar are going to implement it.
As somebody that has made contributions to improve the PWA responsiveness, the difference between touch and cursor controls can be tough sometimes. The css framework we use (bootstrap) generally handles it well, but the pop-ups are one area where I’m not really happy with it, but I don’t have a better solution yet.
I just want to point out here that this blog post is old at this point (published February 2024). I believe that mbin in particular has made improvements in this regard. Also, we have added some features to piefed, and introduced a little bit of new Javascript/css. I am not sure exactly how this would compare today.
for good measure, they should reheader the log to say things have changed😁
