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.
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
They don't have to create two apps, it feels like you're trying really hard to strawman the situation.
There are a few apps already that support both Lemmy and PieFed, saying create two apps, implies doubling the work. When it's not that at all, it's just adding compatibility where one differs from the other. Lemmy and PieFed are 90% the same thing, if not more.
