I would not count on Alexandrite, as its last commit has been 5 months ago...

Maybe just try to use a default interface? PieFed's frontend is not so much separated from backend and remains a first class citizen among the clients.

Just to add on to this, the web ui for piefed is the native client and basically every feature comes to the web ui first. The api that other frontends/clients is very much a work in progress and only exposes a subset of piefed's features (so far).

In addition to this, these other clients are basically only using the same api routes that lemmy has since that is what they were designed for. So, they don't really have many (or any) features that are piefed-only.

Edit: The PWA for piefed is quite usable and I have put a lot of effort into the UI changes I have contributed to make sure that the interface reacts well down to small screen sizes. So, give that a shot to get the full piefed experience.

Yeah I'm aware that Alexandrite hasn't been updated for a while. Anyways, I checked out Voyager on a desktop browser and the tablet mode view is pretty similar. And since the devs are working on piefed compatibility, I think this will do for now until a better one comes.
