As the title says: When I tap the "View full post" button, it loads all posts as expected but instead of disappearing after loading all posts, it stays on screen, still displaying the message: Viewing a single comment thread "View full post". And it won't go away even after tapping it repeatedly.

The left bar nav wouldn't load for me until I added one to my profile!!

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

So it blocks communities with certain keywords in them like anything containing 'meme' as an example.

Would be an amazing feature, since blocking communities becomes wack a mole with the amount of duplicate community names that pop up from different instances.

It's too easy to swipe "right" by swiping too diagonally on a post and close it. When it's closed, there isn't a way to go back to the place in the post you were reading.

I'm now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., 'politics', 'news', 'memes'. New ones pop up every time I visit 'all' and it would be so nice if I didn't have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I've seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is already an option and I'm not seeing it, but I would like to have the option to only see the communities I'm subscribed to.

When I go into a user profile and block the user, it reloads the feed completely, rather than returning me to where I was in the scroll.

Awesome app with better functionality than any others Ive found. Your work is appreciated

When blocking an instance it blocks the instance of the poster (which is correct), however the toast message says it has blocked the instance of the community. Gave me a bit of a panic as I thought it had blocked a large and popular instance rather than a spam domain!

Currently, Connect will ask if you'd like to open a clicked URL. You only have yes or no options.

Adding a copy URL button would prevent having to view the page in order to access the copy URL option from there.

Adding the standard share button isn't as useful to me since I'm only trying to share URLs to friends. But I noticed the lack of this when I'd backed out of a page and figured I'd share it. But ended up having to view it again just to do so.

Hi, I wanted to get more into theme and customization improvements but a lot of great feature requests came up and I ended up just implementing those instead. I might need a better system to compile release notes soon as in the past week there have been 11 beta releases and it's a bit tedious to go through each to compile the final release notes. Probably the biggest change in this release is the way back navigation works, hopefully it's now in a state that is more intuitive instead of back activating the drawer menu.

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to provide feedback and suggestions, even if I haven't had the time to respond I've read them all. It's really appreciated!

Also Connect turns 2 months old on Tuesday. Kind of crazy how quickly that went and how much the app has changed in that short amount of time. Thank you again to everyone that has stuck with me these past 2 months, Connect is as much your app as it is mine.

Not a major issue at all, just graphical, but I think it's good to know;

Using the app on a phone that has a narrower screen than normal (like Samsung booklike foldables outer display) can cause overflowing in some cases, like comment or post toolbars/button bars, as you can see on the screenshot.

There's no loss in functions.

As it stands, there doesn't seem to be an option to make the button for comments open the comments section on posts. It goes directly to leaving a comment.

There's a bunch of options that you can change that button (button 1, etc) in the settings to, including removing it altogether. I click the comment button every time, then I remember that I have to click the body of the post to see comments (resulting in backing out and extra clicks). I can't seem to get my muscle memory right on that - probably partially because I bounce back to Jerboa, where you do click the comment button to go to the comments.

As for visually, I like the button icon and comment count, so I think that's perfect - I would just love for there to be a setting to change the action from leaving a comment to go to comments section. Maybe "view comments" and "leave comment" in the settings to differentiate.

Pretty please? ❤️

Love using Connect but I find the Medium font size for posts view is too big and Small is too small. Would it be possible to add additional sizes or a slider for the size?

Not to be dramatic, but this has become a critical issue as football season starts. It's probably something I'll switch apps over. For some examples, head over to [email protected] and look at any game thread. It takes about 20 seconds (not an exaggeration) of scrolling to get to the comments.

Apparently this is a known issue that has been mentioned before.

I've been finding the links directly to videos don't play in connect, eg this one (Ukraine Drone video of grenades being dropped into empty tanks, no gore) https://sopuli.xyz/post/2226461n they play in the Web and with sync.

Any idea if these can be supported?

Hey all,

Posting a Feature Request for the dev(s). Is there a way to add a shortcut to hide all read posts in the main feed(?) page carat menu? I would greatly appreciate the ability to hide any and all read posts and refresh my feed(?)

Also would it be possible to add an option to mark a previewed(long pressed) post to be marked as read.

Apologies if these are already a features and I just didn't look hard enough.

Thanks!!! Tpyoman

P.S. love the app use it every day and is my main app to browse lemmy other than sync which I might just ditch of these features are available on connect.

I want to ignore all of the "This is an automated archive" posts. Any way I can filter that string?

I'm trying to block posts from [email protected] as a community.

When I go to the appropriate settings dialog, and try searching for "[email protected]" it returns communities such as "[email protected]" and "[email protected]"

Therefore I can't select "[email protected]" to block.

I think the search is not including the blank prefix case.

Any link to streamable does not open on my device (samsung s22 android 13) with the internal webbrowser

Feature: Horizontal swipe for next post (experimental) Version: 1.0.120

Appreciation:

I previously suggested that the "left-to-right" swipe gesture take the user to the previous post, rather than out to the main scroll feed. This seems to have been implemented. Thank you Kuro!

Request 1:

However, there are now three "go back" user inputs with identical functionality. An in-app button in the top left, the standard phone back button in the bottom right, and the "left-to-right" swipe gesture. I think it would be useful if one of these took the user out to the main scroll feed. My suggestion would be the in-app button in the top left, as it is the least likely to press accidentally.

Request 2:

Not sure if this is a bug or intentional, but the "swipe for previous" gesture doesn't go past whichever post was originally selected from the main scroll feed. My ultimate Lemmy browsing experience would be "sort by new", scroll to the oldest post I have not yet viewed, and "swipe for previous" until I'm caught up to the present.

Request 3:

As I don’t use swiping gestures on comments, I would find it useful if the "swipe for next post" area were extended to include the comments section when "comment swipe actions" are disabled.

Bug:

Swiping for the previous post sometimes brings up the comments of the previous post, but not the previous post itself. The posts and comments are now out of sync with each other, and further "swipe for previous" gestures continue out of sync. As a workaround, "swipe for next" seems to usually sync the posts and comments back up with each other.

Thanks again, Kuro, for such a great Lemmy app, and for your solicitation and implementation of user feedback!

I don't want to see a bunch of emojis instead of a name. The colors draw your eye and so far I've found none of the people who do that are worth that attention.

Is there a setting for it? Am I just blind?
