Man, that all makes perfect sense, and I appreciate the reply. Thanks for laying out the challenges for a small dev to develop for iOS.
I actually like the look of Mbin and Piefed, but like I said, I use Voyager to surf Lemmy a lot of the time, and Voyager doesn't support Mbin/Piefed. I'd be willing to try and maybe switch to a different app, but there's currently no iOS app for either. I'm not above using a PWA, but the Piefed instance I signed up to doesn't even offer an actual PWA, but just a bookmark that opens Piefed in a Safari tab.
So, to bring it back to the original question, that's the reasons that Piefed is a no-go for me.
That's quite the headline....
