  • Wow this is a HUGE update. Amazing work!

    Wanted to point out a few more things I’ve noticed

    • I’ve noticed that some settings don’t persist after Connect is updated. I’m not sure if that’s because the settings pane changes with new options hence it can’t be persisted but just something I noticed
    • It would be nice to have a drafts section for comments and posts such that you can temporarily save it and come back to editing it and finishing it up.
    • It would be awesome to see a preview of either the post or comment that you are replying to with the username there as we so you have reference as to what you are replying to.
    • When you tap to bring up the menu to interact with comments, maybe a setting to squish the icons to either the right or left would be nice to have for those who are browsing with one hand
    • It would also be nice to have an indicator of how many Unread messages you have in your inbox beside the word Inbox in the menu and possibly even on the hamburger menu itself to alert you to look into the menu
    • In the About Instance page, I’ve noticed that the total subscribers count doesn’t show, but it does in the About Community page.
    • When you tap on the About Instance menu, it takes you to a new window context as expected to show you the necessary details and when you navigate back, it takes you back to where you were as expected. However, in the About Community page, it seems to be more of an overlay in the same context such that if you do navigate back, it takes you completely out of the post that you were viewing when you had clicked About Community.
    • In the About Instance and About Community pages, would be nice to have an Open context menu to open it up externally on a web browser as well. I think it’s only there in About Community at the moment.
    • Would you be able to allow to search for Communities that may not exist in the Instance search using the full address (!lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca) like we can on the Lemmy web app

  • Excellent update as always!

    A couple of bugs I’ve noticed.

    • The new fixed thumbnail height toggle doesn’t actually seem to work for fullwidth despite it saying so
    • The area for me to tap to see the comments menu or hold to hide and unhide the comments seems to be only on areas where there is text and not the whole section. This makes it hard to interact with comments that are very short on text.
    • There don’t seem to be clear card like dividers in card view mode between posts when using the AMOLED dark mode



















  • Good point. But what makes it a bit more complicated is the fact that from the get go, lemmy is promoting fragmentation. When I have to choose an initial server to login into, I’m bound by their restrictions. I’m finding that I’m not able to find duplicate groups from other servers (search doesn’t show it up) that I know exists and has more users that I’d like to take part of. Would be nice to have a way to streamline that somehow, but the idea of federation shows a lot of promise.
