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

I cross posted this, because whilst Summit is the only Lemmy app that comes up when searching for Piefed it doesn't explicitly say it's for Piefed and all the points raised for the voyager app apply here.

Just a thought.

I wonder if you were the one I was having a conversation about PieFed with. Somebody was encouraging me to use it! So I now have a PieFed account. Not on the main one. Never the main one. And not on this name. I'm not trying to cross contaminate, so to speak. So I talk about political (ugh) and tech stuff on this one, and gaming/more light-hearted stuff on the PieFed account. (I don't like political stuff, but I don't avoid it as well as I could. I do avoid it on PieFed.)

I don't know what Summit is — I'm here because I browse /all and your post caught my eye. I use Voyager on both Android and iOS, but on iOS I also use Mlem (AFAIK, iOS only). Mlem for this account, Voyager for PieFed. On Android, Voyager for both accounts, with the account switcher. (I don't use Android often, but I have one. An old Galaxy S10, has a bunch of music on it, and of course the typing is ten billion percent better (Gboard) as is the browser (Firefox + uBlock Origin). I've been an Apple guy for 10 years, but I still believe in Android, though I don't particularly like Google.

Hopefully will help drive more traffic to the app.
