I can generate ideas way faster than I can actually work on those ideas, so please rank which of these you want to see most:

  • Expand post to load more types on content directly in Blorp (e.g. redgifs were added recently)
  • Less comments moving/shifting around as they load (most noticeable on posts with 100+ comments)
  • Fix Android full screen video controls getting cut off (if you've seen this bug)
  • The groundwork to allow viewing posts that aren't in communities, which could maybe (no promises) make mbin possible
  • Comment jump button, which jumps to the next top level comment
  • Translate Blorp into other languages
  • Continue adding support for nsfw content viewing
  • Streamline login experience
  • Edit alt text in posts and images in comments
  • Edit community sidebar in Blorp
  • Create communities in Blorp
  • Promote moderators in Blorp
  • Or anything else you wanna add

My time is limited, and some of these could send me on a 1+ month journey which would delay other work. Choose wisely

While I have suggestions for both Blorp and Mlem that I hope will ultimately lead to them adopting more Arctic features (a shame it wasn't open sourced), the basic feature I think would be most useful are swipe actions. I think I mentioned it at some point, but the option to swipe as an alternative to tapping small icons would improve accessibility and versatility (ideally such swipes could be customized). Arctic's implementation is still my favorite, but as another reference, Mlem did update their implementation to also feature a customizable three-swipe per side system.

Something else I think would be useful would be the addition of an 'All' section to the left of 'Posts' and 'Comments' on the user profile page as a way of seeing both content types grouped together by overall recency.

Of the listed features, I think having an alternative to Interstellar with Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin support would be great, but in pragmatic terms the small user base for Mbin might warrant focusing efforts elsewhere first. I think better in-app content support would be a good point of differentiation.
