It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca
I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!
edit: 392 new users on the first day and hundreds more since then, all from one post ๐ฅณ
Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed
Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

Are you able to view piefed.ca in the web browser of the device that you're trying to use the app on? Do you have a VPN enabled?
That should hopefully narrow down where the problem is. We might also be having issues with CloudFlare, we're looking into that :)
Yes I was able to access piefed.ca on the browser, that's how I was replying initially. No VPN enabled at the time.
I did manage to sign in on the app earlier. I think it must've just been a server load issue from earlier and it is working now!
Thank you!
