I’ve recently moved over to piefed, and have been looking for a new iOS app that supports it.

Firstly, the Mlem app looks amazing and works brilliantly. Well done to all involved getting it to this point.

There are 2 features that I can’t seem to replicate in the app, that I can do directly on the piefed.social website, that I really find useful and would love to see. I’m not sure if I just haven’t found how to do these yet, or if these are more feature requests.

First is the ability to see the number of existing crossposts in the post feed. It provides a great way to be able to see how active the topic is across the fediverse, without needing to go into the post. A bonus feature would be to click on the crossposts icon to see which communities the post is crossposted to. I know this can be done from within the post on Mlem, but having it on the feed would be really useful.

Second is the ‘Notify about replies’ feature, where you can click on the bell icon and get notifications for replies to any post or comment (not just your own). Its really useful on smaller communities where comments happen slowly in fewer posts.
