No. Not yet at least. Like lemmy, piefed is limited to just one image as the lead image in a post. You can embed other images using markdown in the body of the post, but it is just that first image that is shown in the feed until somebody expands/opens the post to see the rest of the post body.
Mastodon and some other fediverse software have image galleries that can be a post. Currently in both piefed and lemmy, just the first image in the mastodon gallery is used as the image for the post. It's kind of been a wishlist item for me to have some kind of equivalent gallery post type in piefed.
Please do! It's something I have thought about how to implement and I started on a proof of concept at one point. However, the bulk of my development effort was then shifted to the api and it kind of fell by the wayside.

In the Eternity for lemmy app, if there are multiple images in a text post, it will be shown as a gallery, which can be swiped through in the feed🌸

Yeah, I used to use it but unfortunately it doesn't support piefed yet

I have opinions about how this should be done. Let's discuss in a chat.

An Imgur gallery post was one way in the old place. I haven't even tried to submit one here, imagine it would just show the first image only.
