Thanks for the great app.
A feature I would like is an option to open in external browser rather than only webview. If I want to share a link on at the moment it's quite difficult

That should be possible! Settings -> open links in external browser
So it is! Missed it! Sorry

Aaah great update, love the new settings.
What makes me wonder, why is the function going to the community inside dot menu of the top comment and not in the top menu bar?
Hello, I just heard about this app and tried it out. It's instantly become my favorite as being most similar to RIF of the ones I've tried. I figured posting feedback and bugs to the current release thread will keep things the most organized.
[Bug] Post titles do not display for me (Galaxy Fold 4) in open/closed mode. I've tried toggling through the various themes and post view styles with no luck. 
[Request] When clicking on a comment, it expands to display ways to interact with it. If you click on another comment, the options for the previous comment remain visible. The "ActiveComment" should be the only one with visible options to conserve screen space.

Favorites are not sticking for me.
Edit: They're staying now but there seems to be some wonkiness.
Should it be respecting my preference to start on the subscribed communities feed? Currently it always defaults to all.
There's a three-dot menu on the selection for Frontpage. Select default there.
That works, thanks. But the subscribed/local/all preference is stored in your profile settings on the Lemmy instance, shouldn't Connect follow that like the other apps?
I didn't know they did.
Those are some nice changes!
The previous history being shown after editing a comment was particularly annoying. Glad you fixed that.
Oh and since it seems like you're working on the user experience side of things, I made a post here with some suggestions for you to consider regarding the app!

I like it so far but I can't figure out how to collapse comment chains. Otherwise much better than gerboa for me.

Deleted comments still appear, just with a "deleted" indicator next to them. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but if it is, then maybe there could at least be an option to not display the deleted comments?
It seems like every time I go to reply to a comment it says "could not load this comment" now. It was working before
Edit: I realized I have a request as well. Can you add Top 12 Hours Top 6 Hours Top 1 Hour. I also think it might help to limit the size of the popups when tapping the three dot buttons, some of them have like 10 items now lol
Finally got the update. Some great improvements in there! Had to reconfigure my settings, but that only took about 30 seconds.
The swipe to open side menu does seem a bit glitchy, however.
It seems to open the side menu at the same time you swipe back to your home screen. Unfortunately, I just have to immediately clear it away to see my home screen.
Once you're actually on your home screen (which is where you'd expect it to work), swiping doesn't do anything.
Of note, I'm talking about the swipe action to the right from essentially anywhere on the screen. ~~If there's a separate action I'm missing from the extreme left edge, that being overridden by Android's own built-in back gesture.~~
EDIT: Oops. My bad. The Android extreme edge swipe does open the menu from the home view. I'd just not been using it in favor of the swipe from anywhere.
