Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

With the PieFed API support having been enabled for about a week now, a lot of you have been trying Interstellar for the first time.

What do you feel is missing? What is the feature you would like added most? What pain points do you run into? Also, feel free to include what you already like about the app.

This is no guarantee, btw, I just want to get some feedback from y'all and hopefully we can find some points of improvement.

Lastly, there are a lot of PieFed specific features that are not supported by the API, and we obviously wouldn't be able to add support to Interstellar until they are in the API. We can still discuss them here if you'd like. Those features include Feeds, Topics, Polls, Flairs, Tags, admin/mod tools, and probably more.

Thanks for making the app, it's almost 10/10 for me but there are a few UX things that irk me:

  • Sometimes I accidentally tap on someone's username when opening a post in compact mode, leading me to the user's page. I wish there was an option to disable selecting the user altogether.
  • When I tap on a comment notification, I wish it would show me the parent comment from the start. I usually open the comment, wonder what it's in response to, then have to tap show parent and wait for it to load again.
  • I don't know how to hide a community's sidebar. It shows up above posts and I'd sometimes have to scroll down every time I open a community. I have a feeling this might be a bug because it doesn't show up most of the time.
  • In compact mode, you could add a small indicator that a post is a link and not an image, currently there's no way to tell. It would also be nice if clicking on the image of a link post would open the link directly rather than expand the tiny low-res thumbnail.

That's it. Thanks you~
