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.

    On Thunder the ‘My Account’ tab makes it easy to see my previous comments and posts and the ‘Inbox’ tab shows me all my replies

    On interstellar the profile tab shows me Notifications and Messages, which are not useful to me except for the rare instance of a DM or mod action. I have no clue where to even find replies to my post/comments on interstellar, which I find much more useful and why I’ve stuck to Thunder (in addition to all the customization options)

    Also an easy way to search thru my own comments/posts by text would be great too. In Thunder I can search filter by user which makes it easy

    I’ve also only tried the app with the lw account, so no clue if that limits the capabilities compared to a piefed account

      On Interstellar, all of your posts and comments would be under Account -> Overview. Any replies to your posts and comments should be under Account -> Notifications.

      Also an easy way to search thru my own comments/posts by text would be great too. In Thunder I can search filter by user which makes it easy

      I could see that being useful, yeah.

      no clue if that limits the capabilities compared to a piefed account

      I believe you’re correct here, we’d only be able to filter search results by user on Lemmy and Mbin, not PieFed yet.

        Unfortunately I don’t see any comment or post replies whatsoever under Notifications, it’s basically a duplicate of the Messages tab from what I see except expanded to include the text at a glance

        Actually, scrolling down a bit I do see some actual replies, but they are a mixed bag or super old replies, some new ones, mentions, and DMs. I can’t even begin to guess how it’s sorted from the look of it. It’s also strange since nearly all of those should be marked as read but it doesn’t look like they are on interstellar no wait it looks like I’d expect when I switch to the New filter

        Would a more expansive filter / sort option be possible? That may fix this from what I see. Being able to sort by type of reply, by date, ect

        It looks like the All filter shows everything chaotically, is there a way to set it so it goes to New by default?

          I’ll take a look at things when I get a chance. The notifications are actually supposed to be sorted by new, so I’ll definitely need to fix it if they’re not.
