Could also be added as an opt-in since I'm sure that could get annoying to accidentally click community names instead of the post title.

I would love to be able to just hit the bolded community name and navigate to it, rather than options>/c/community or click post, click header to get to the community homepage itself.

Connect 1.0.46 Released (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by kuro_neko to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

Hi, happy long weekend everyone! Hope everyone is having a good day so far. I've been listening to feedback and made a couple changes in 1.0.46. I added an about page for instances with a "Browse as guest" button. Fixed some issues with the link handler, and improved the experience of replying to long comments.

Changelog:

  • Fixed replying to long comments.
  • Made the comment and post create input fields more performant, hopefully fixed a flickering keyboard issue
  • Preloads images on post lists so image jump-in should be reduced
  • Added unsubscribe button to subscriptions list
  • Added about community button to all communities in the drawer
  • Added about instance button to all communities in the drawer and the top right menu.
  • Improved the link follower in some cases to better detect posts and communities.
  • If a post cannot be loaded on the local instance, attempt to view it on the foreign instance
  • Added setting for adding dividers between top comments and between all comments
  • Added setting for always displaying the comment bar
  • Changed the app icon to something a bit more material design-y
  • Added setting for even larger comment text size

Can we choose a default sort option per subscription? Some communities are large and I want to view by hot. For other communities, I would like to view by new. If this setting could be done on a per community basis on the ones I am subscribed to, it would be great.

Like with posts but with blue hyperlinks in post body or comments. Right know if you long press links in comments the comment folds up.

This may have something to do with having multiple accounts that are subscribed to the same communities.

The reply box doesn't scroll up when the reply length gets long enough, making it hard to see what you're typing.

I'm on a pixel 6 pro using the latest Android version with the Google keyboard.

On Android, for photos and even Google maps, there is a gesture to double tap, but on the second tap you keep your finger on the screen and drag it down to zoom in and up to zoom out. You can then double tap again from a zoomed in position to zoom back out. Also, you can just double tap to zoom in a predetermined amount.

Reddit sync uses this feature as well. You can still use a single tap to close the image.

For tall aspect ratio phones, reaching to the very top right to share content is uncomfortable. Adding this option to the bottom overflow menu would be nice.

Like tapping the bar at the top of the feed to jump/scroll back to the beginning.

The app keeps telling me my server feddit.de is under maintenance. It works sometimes and then just stops working. It works in all the other apps without any problems.

Is there any way that we could treat accounts as separate profiles so to speak? I think with Lemmy, a lot of us may have multiple accounts on different instances. That is sort of necessitated because of federation. It would be good if those different accounts, which may be intended to consume different types of content, could have different preferences for styles and layouts and such

Connect 1.0.44 Released (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by kuro_neko to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

Hi, Just keeping the momentum going. This release brings default sorting options for posts and an improved image viewer.

Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!

Changelog:

  • Added default sorting option for posts
  • Added better image viewer
  • Adjusted Drawer header text colour for legibility
  • Make swipe actions slightly more responsive
  • Fix an SSL issue on Android 7
  • Added block user and community options to the post card three dot menu
  • Fixed a text ovelap issue for long display names
  • Added an expand option to Profile options and some swipe animations to make things look nice
  • Added message button to person views
  • Fixed an issue with fullwidth card height
  • Added a divider when viewing fullwidth card posts
  • When signed in a guest there is now a sign out button

Note: as of writing this post 1.0.44 is still publishing in Google Play. If you're on 1.0.43 the only different is a bug in the image view where the three dot menu wasn't showing up.

It would be great if nsfw content can be blocked from appearing in the all/community feeds. Not blocked globally. Content should be visible if you go direct to a community which contains nsfw content.

When comments are very long, it can push the text box for replies towards the bottom of the screen. If the keyboard is pulled up to add to the text box, it will cover the box and make it so the response cannot be seen unless the keyboard is dismissed.

Possible solution: minimize the original comment on tap, or allow scrolling until the reply text box is at the top of the screen

It would be great if you could tap tge community name in a post (specific post opened or e.g. in the Frontpage/local view) so you would be routed to the community.

This post is an example of that bug

Edit: Also the app apparently can't find linked posts (clicking on the link in the web app works fine)

I would like to be able to see full size images from the post listing page. This can somewhat be achieved by using the Full Width View Type but some taller images dont show fully. Additionally, I prefer the Card View as seeing where one post starts and another begins is easier, however in the Full Width View Type this is difficult. I propose adding a horizontal dividing line between posts for this view type.

Here is a picture from the thunder app to illustrate what I am requesting. You can see that the full image is shown and there is a horizontal line above and below the post:

And this is what the same post looks like in Connect with Card View (cannot see the full image):

And this is the same post in Connect with Full Width View (can see more of the image but still not all of it, and there is no clear delineation between posts):

If there is a better way to put feature Requests please let me know and I can make the request there. I didn't see a GitHub link when I searched for one.

When possible, please could you add some gesture navigation.

Mainly the ability to back out of a post via swiping left to right anywhere on the screen.

Bonus would the ability to override the 'press back to exit app' and instead let it open the navigation drawer.

Thanks for all your work on the app.
