I’d very much like an ipad layout please.
Also a way to consolidate multiple accounts across instances into a single feed.
Kbin compatibility.

What do you mean multiple accounts across multiple instances? Your account on lemmy.ml can ask lemmy.ml to fetch posts on other instances, via communities, to which you can then subscribe to.
Do you mean something like a multireddit?
I would say, mirror and learn from Apollo app for Reddit. They did a phenomenal job.

I feel like Jerboa for Lemmy (Android's Lemmy App) could benefit from some of these suggestions as well, so hopefully the dev is also taking a look at this thread xd.
It's been said a few times already but I really love Apollo's swipe to vote interaction. The app looks tidy though, thanks for your work!
My biggest gripe is the inability to make the home screen/post view compact. Right now, it shows the entire post when someone creates one, which means youre scrolling for a long time to get past a single post in many instances.
- searching for and sorting communities by some metric (like most subscribers)
- ability to acknowledge pinned posts and fold them up or remove them from view (tired of scrolling past them)
- a Share feature of a sort? I'd like to be able to "Share with..." and open a post (say, from a web browser) in Mlem.
- more descriptive error messages when trying to log in (did the login fail because u/p is wrong or the server is fubar?)
- filtering (blocking) communities should allow me to show either posts with those word(s) or posts without those word(s). As of now I think it's just posts with the defined words. Regex would be super!
Finally registered and found mlem. It’s pretty nice so far, but would definitely like to have a way to search for communities.
I like how Apollo will show trending subreddits. Not sure if mlem can support that given the federated design of lemmy but it was super useful in finding new subreddits.
Definitely agree with this. I had joined so many subreddits on Apollo thanks to the way it advertised them. Here’s to hoping Lemmy devs will make it easier to discover new communities!
I would pay again for an iOS app that is like Apollo!
Improved scrolling performance should be a high priority. Currently scrolling a feed results in tons of dropped frames and poor performance and then the feed jumps around as images load and pop in. It’s even worse when you try to scroll back up. I’m guessing some kind of static size for posts and moving certain tasks off the main thread will help here but my SwiftUI experience is limited
Save to Photos, and other options for images
iPad support!
An improved comment editor for sure. Better navigation around the app itself and around communities.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but interaction with other servers is not as seamless as the experience on the web frontend. Yes, I can add multiple accounts, but I am yet to find a way to browse posts from across all of the linked communities.
