I'd love the ability to change the settings of a specific account. For example, I'm able to switch between lemmy.world and lemmynsfw.com accounts. When I'm logged into my '.world' identity I want to blur NSFW images, but when I'm logged into my 'nsfw.com' identity I would like to have them marked as 'Always Show'.

Also I would like the flexibility of changing the display settings (card, full-width etc.) on a per account basis.

Do you think this would be possible in a future update?

Thanks for all your hard work so far, I'm loving the app!

If I click on a post, read it then go back to the community page it does show anything to highlight if I've been on the post already. Makes it difficult to scroll/view posts.

I've got it to hide read posts but that's only on refresh.

Comments only expand to the up- and downvote buttons when tapping on the text. When tapping a pic the pic itself expands to fullscreen, but the comment doesn't expand. Therefore it's nearly impossible to upvote picture-only comments without swipe gestures. (Sometimes it works when clicking the time of post, but that's a kinda icky workaround.)

Title. The issue seems only to go away when sorting by New. I do have "hide read posts" enabled, but I highly doubt that I've read all the active or top posts in all the fediverse.

I can see that there's a top 10 communities for your local instance but finding more is impossible.

Loving the app so far, but eing able to tell how many subscribers are in a community when searching without having to navigate to and view the about page would be really nice to have.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Lemmy and trying out a few different Android apps. So far Connect seems really good! In still trying to figure everything out though. Is there a way to limit my feed to my subscribed communities (rather than Local or All) in Connect? Hope you are all having a lovely day!

I love the app so far, but the only thing is I want to see community content before looking at the others. Is there a way to set that up? I don't see the option in settings

I've been trying to post some pictures directly in this community, but I keep getting this error message. Don't know how to fix it or why it's happening. I can upload pictures from the actual Lemmy website, but not the connect app for now. Is this a common issue right now just cause of the general overload on Lemmy today?

When I click a link to the Fediverse, it opens in my web browser. Firefox offers an "open in app" feature if an app is installed that supports the current URL. Jerboa supports most instances, Connect doesn't seem to.

This would also allow users to (manually in the settings) set links to open in Connect by default.

Thanks for sharing your application.

When clicking URL's could I have the option of opening with my default browser?

I would expect and option in the application to allow me to choose the native browser or default that I have choose. (Eg Brave)

Is it possible to mark on each comment if it has been read?

Also when posting a URL could the title be prefilled from the link? Or at least suggested like the web version does?

Connect for Lemmy currently seems to be one of the most-commonly recommended apps for new users. For a lot of the refugees currently migrating from the Reddit 3rd party apps that got shutdown yesterday, this will be their first experience of Lemmy/The Fediverse.

As such, I think it'd be a really great idea to have a little new user experience that explains some basic concepts e.g

  • Basic app usage
  • What is Lemmy?
  • What is an instance?
  • Does it matter what instance I pick?
  • How do you create an account?
  • Discovering/Subscribing to communities

We don't want to scare off by being too complex so presentation is everything. The key thing is giving people just enough info to help them get set up with an account and subscribed to some interesting communities (and ideally with a very basic understanding of instances)

What do people think?

The adaptive icon for me on a Pixel 7 is just __a single block of colour. That colour does change according to my theme but It would look a lot nicer if it was just a C

I have noticed that this app uses quite a lot of my data, possibly because it's downloading all the images in the background.

It would be nice to have a setting to control whether images should be preloaded (with options like wifi only, always and never)

It could be a bug, or or could just be me or maybe its be design. But when you open a link to an image. I'm not able to zoom on it. Touching the screen again will cause the image to close instead.

Would love to be able to subscribe to a instance here: (image)

The promo pic shows a menu pulled up to add a secondary account, but I can't find the option. Am I missing something obvious?

As title.

I'm not sure of the time needed for it to revert. But I haven't closed the app. Only gone back to my home screen and used other apps. So it's still open in the background.

The setting will still show that reverse list view is selected. But will show normal list view. You have to select a different view and save it, ten select reverse list view again and save that for it to show the reverse list view.
