These are things that I couldn’t find any way to do in Blorp. It could be that they already are features but I just missed them or I ran into a bug. I’ve also not fully tested all of these with the newest app update.
• embed images in comments (this seems to be working with the newest app update)
• compact posts in feed
• remembering default sort for each community (as in, the app should remember that I want Community X to sort by New by default and I want Community Y to sort by Hot by default, and I want these to be independent of how the overall feed is sorted by default)
• block communities/users/instances (I think this was a bug; it seems to be working with the newest app update)
• attaching links in comments doesn’t always affix the link to the correct letters. It’s also annoying how the pop up box to add the text and link jumps upward when I tap on either text box to type (also, “Description” is misspelled).
• I’d like to be able to see the modlog for each community/instance/user (including myself) while within the app. I don’t think Voyager even has this feature.
• The search-within-a-community function seems to be broken on both Blorp and Voyager for Piefed and instead searches all of the Fediverse
• Voyager isolates each link within somebody’s comment at the bottom of the comment. This makes it easier to select the links and to see which text has which link.
Right now, Voyager doesn’t seem to properly block all NSFW posts for Piefed browsing (it works for Lemmy browsing), whereas Blorp does seem to work for that.
I appreciate your effort to make a better app experience!
Glad comment image upload is working, but I’m aware there is no indication of an in progress image upload. Definitely room for improvement.
Compact posts will happen, it’s just a matter of when. Maybe in the next update.
I understand how remembering sorts per community can be helpful. I also don’t want to over complicate configuration for everyone, so that’s the only thing holding me back. But I’m not saying no.
Block was broken, but should now be fixed. @RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip has been killing it with bug reports.
Affixing the link to the comment can definitely be improved. Though I’m not sure I exactly understand it not affixing to the correct letters. It should affix to the selection?
Moderation features are coming. Both viewing mod log and also mod/admin actions. It’s also just a matter of when.
I think PieFed doesn’t support search within a community yet. I need to find a way to hide things that the PieFed API doesn’t support as it’s currently confusing to users what isn’t supported
I’ll think about affixing a Voyager style link to the bottom of the comment. I do kinda like that about Voyager.
I think NSFW is working. Let me know if you see any issues. I have to be really careful about that as iOS is very strict.

Previously, if the text with the link attached was too long, the last few letters of the text would not have the link attached. I’m not able to replicate this issue anymore so it might have gotten fixed.
However, if I add text with a link attached and press OK in the pop up box, and then afterwards type text that I do not want the link to be attached to, all text that follows has the link attached.
Blorp dev here. I know you probably switched to voyager, but I’d love to know what you’re missing most from my app. Preferably organized by priority.
Voyager is also a solid app.
