I thought that things like combining comments across all cross-posts, categories of communities, user-customizeable and shareable feeds, ability to block all users from an instance, etc. were not supported yet.
Perhaps “minimal” is the wrong word though: maybe “basic” would have worked better, with most of PieFed’s most well-known and touted features not having been included yet, unless I missed it and they are now?
Oh but that’s 1.4 alpha, while PieFed.world is still on v1.1.5-10-g927213a1 - it’s not only waiting on app devs! Plus I could understand if app devs wanted to wait for more than read-only access to such information. Anyway it’s progressing forward quickly and that’s appreciated!
And I hope that the webpage method of access does not get forgotten as well, as sometimes seemed the case with Lemmy where so many apps would have features that the basic UI lacked.
Right now on PieFed the too-wide comment boxes still breaks the entire page sometimes (like the top bar won’t even render) and the Preview ability is still hit or miss - e.g. I noticed while editing a comment yesterday that I could not preview how it was going to render, from a desktop browser. So I hope the standard web UI continues to be shown care and attention and becomes more polished.
Lemmy.World was also notoriously behind so it tracks that they want to ensure maximum stability before updating:-), not aiming to be at the bleeding edge of having the most features.
Probably most people who joined Lemmy.world did so because they did not want to understand how federation works prior to joining an instance, and then simply did not want to move later.

IIRC most of those things are available in the API, now it’s on the app devs to support them in their apps.
Oh wow I definitely missed that announcement, that seems major news that the API has improved that much!! (Especially in so short a time)
https://crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/swagger shows indeed “list of feeds” and “list of topics”

Please report those bugs on !piefed_help@piefed.social
Piefed.world seems lagging behind, I asked the admins yesterday when they planned to update, no answer yet.
Rimu just announced a new feature in the 1.4 API: https://piefed.zip/c/piefed_api/p/684281/poll-and-event-posts-in-the-api#post_replies
Lemmy.World was also notoriously behind so it tracks that they want to ensure maximum stability before updating:-), not aiming to be at the bleeding edge of having the most features.
1.2.6 could be an option, with 1.3.1 being out already.
Piefed.world doesn’t seem that popular anyway compared to Piefed.sociak https://piefed.fediverse.observer/list
And compared to PieFed.zip:-).
