Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

[Edit] ok I was blind, there is already an option for that in the settings called "show action bar by default for comments" not sure, if this came with .33 or not but I'm happy now :D

But I agree with Celsiuss - long and short press actions should be swapped!

Looks good!

One suggestion:

Can you make an option to hide the controls for comments (up/downvote, permalink and so on...) and make them only pop up when I press on the comment?

When reading the comments of a post, the controls take away a lot of screen space. I don't want to interact with very comment, so hiding the controls would declutter the comment section imho

Example of what I mean in Sync for reddit:

Controls Hidden

Controls shown

If you long tap the comment, it hides the buttons.

But I agree that it should be hidden by default. And swap the long tap and short tap behavior.

Thanks! What version are you using? I'm on 0.0.32 and long tapping (or short tapping for that matter) just hides the whole comment

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm on 0.0.33 and long tapping works

Interesting! I'm using the f-droid version which only has 32 right now. Does play store have 33?

[Edit] ok nevermind, had to refresh the package sources on f droid and got .33

I get the same long press behaviour as you guys now. Wish it would affect the whole thread at least and not just a single comment. Kinda useless right now I feel

There is a setting in Jerboa to take away the action bar by default, under Look and Feel. I hate it, but it looks like exactly what you're looking for. Now I'm going to turn them back on and we can both enjoy our varied experiences.

I used to see this action bar in my "messages" tab but I now just see the collapsed version without the action bar, even if I press and hold.

I have action bar on by default.

Is there a way to turn it back on?

Edit: I can seem to tap on the upvotes section to bring up the action bar, but still can't seem to keep it persistent.

Edit 2: it also weird that the same interaction does different things based on the context. In a thread, that same button shows or hides replies. In the messages it hides the comment itself?

Yeah it think this changed from version .32 to .33 I remember having the action bar on permanently until I upgraded today.
