Piefed support? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello! As the piefed API has been released a week or so ago, i'm wondering of summit will ever support it? The APIs are very similar, so it would not need much modification to get it working.

For reference:

Tesseract, mlem, voyager and thunder are all interested in getting piefed support soon. Interstellar already supports it.

Tons of huge instances have decided to run a piefed instance, too:

  • piefed.blahaj.zone
  • piefed.world
  • piefed.ca
  • quokk.au
  • slrpnk.net (potentially, in the future)
  • dbzer0.com (potentially, in the future)

Thanks in advance!

I was planning to create a thread each update asking if people would be interested in Piefed support and set some goal to be met. Maybe like 200 upvotes.

From my experience, supporting multiple backends is an expensive long term commitment. If I wasn't commited to maintaining Summit then it's a no brainer but, lets say 5 years down the road, we don't know how much Piefed and Lemmy will grow apart and what the dominant "Lemmy-like" is.

I'm hesitant at the moment and I want to see more feedback from the community. Supporting Piefed is going to have huge implications in the future so I don't want to rush into a decision.
