A month or two ago I made a few posts on reddit to nudge people to join PieFed
More details here
The posts got 500,000 views and a couple thousand people joined PieFed.

This is the insights of a Reddit community, as you can see the vast majority of people prefer using a mobile app.
~98% of users are using a mobile app. image

One issue I kept seeing in the comments was that there's no "PieFed" app on any of the app-stores.

I want to be able to tell people, "Hey there's this cool PieFed app, just search for it from the App-Store"

With age verification and other BS looming, the next Rexit is coming, we need to be ready. Ideally people can just comment, "Yea Reddit sucks, Just download PieFed from the app-store"

Can we make this happen? I'm sure it'll greatly benifit Voyager, PieFed and the Fediverse

Blorp dev here. I wanted to emphasize that we have equal support for Lemmy and PieFed. If I put PieFed at the beginning then that would be unfair to Lemmy. And the same goes for the inverse. If I ever get around to adding mbin support, then Iโ€™ll really be in trouble lol.

Just an idea, but maybe releasing two apps (even if they're exactly the same.

Eg.

"Lemmy through Blorp" And "PieFed through Blorp"

That way when people search for either, your app pops up first, and there's no confusion as to if it's the correct app.
