  • I just want to follow normal behaviour that’s also not individual to me if I am the only one to dig through settings and toggle the option because I learnt it here while others go on without it which may influence my perspective being one sided.

    I am actually quite an active person no matter where I go, people keep complaining with frustrations even that this is bad and this is worse or this is convoluted but not exactly express why is it bad, where is it bad or how is it bad and can be improved instead of being crticial in the comments section whenever a discussion trends in an unrelated community or thread like c/AskLemmy recently for example, and still no efforts are made to visit the respective community and give their thoughts which is especially more clear if you’re humble and eager enough to hear my thoughts which is so respectful in my humble opinion.

    I can understand the 3D Touch being lacking in newer phones hence why I suggested to continue using single tap for collapsing comments, double tap for upvote, and haptic touch to open the menu and select an option without lifting the finger at one go so the menu itself can become smaller. This was a show of understanding to declutter where you can even add triple tap for copying all text (without selection) as example while the one via menu shows select text option while keeping the list minimum.

    Earlier, the icons were non-interactive element but since we have left gesture to go back layer wise, single tap on menu icons itself should directly reset to the main screen.


  • Link previews are still needed for posts and such, it’s just that it doesn’t make sense everywhere like the references in comments.

    No, but I recently joined Lemmy and rather surprised this all have gone unnoticed given that you’re quite an active developer. However, Voyager community is much active if you were wondering.

    Device: iPhone X
    Version: iOS 16.7.10

    All of them are not necessarily bugs like when tapping the icon (say inbox) in the bottom panel doesn’t directly exit to the mainscreen from this comment thread for example which is universal whether you’re on a news app, rss feeder, AppStore or reddit where even on websites tapping home would directly lead one to the homepage but here (Posts) it doesn’t which is odd.





  • Regarding Numbered List: While making a response, the numbering stays right during editing mode - something to take note of that it can be fixed as I would be looking forward to subnumbered list like 1.1 → 1.2 next, instead of just 1 → 2

    Here’s reddit markdown wiki which is a good reference to bookmark for across all internet to follow in a synchronised manner.
    ↳ Personally, I would restrict italics to only _italics_ and bold to *bold*

    One thing however I don’t understand is the nature of spoiler here as opposed to anywhere else including reddit itself, the one on Lemmy is more like collapsible menu items than a spoiler. If you’re fixing the spoiler back to normal then I would request to rename the current spoiler system to something else which is good for sidebar rules but not really as a spoiler itself in comments.

    ::: menu Title Text :::


    Looking forward to the changes. ✌︎

    ^Also, looks like link previews have the same problem as images.^


  • I am glad and nice to meet you, after witnessing your dedication first hand I would also like to try my part in bringing more exposure to your client here on forward and I hope my feedback can also bring forth the same support from others. If it’s preferable, we can directly interact in DMs to keep tab of everything at one place and would be happy to contribute further.

    1. Only exiting an app itself is not default on iOS with side swipe gestures but for navigating through different layers of menu has been standard for ages including the Reddit app itself. The swipe actions on cells is something more seen on email clients like Spark or Mail itself if not Gmail but there’s a huge difference between public comment threads and your inbox, this is something more suitable for messages or notifications if implemented outside. I would rather you use right swipe gesture on notifications and messages only to mark them as unread and leave comments, posts and communities alone where left swipe gesture universally exits to previous menu.
    2. How about this? Single Tap to collapse comments, Double Tap to Upvote and Haptic Touch for Menu Items. I was only introducing the idea to see past through existing implementation of repeated taps hidden under menu items where you may even implement triple taps or use the same haptic touch to open the menu and then select the menu option at one go without lifting your thumb, Threads and Instagram app have some beautiful ideas recently like the carousel for multiple images. Am sure not being the only one here (I have read quite a thread of user frustrations on support forums regarding this) but the default behaviour of swipe gestures lead to random upvote-downvote, archive to even blocks - this is the numero uno 1 complaint of all Lemmy users and am myself only saved by drawer style option offered by Arctic where otherwise I would’ve left long time ago. However, it still adds friction if not weird on long comments like this one as opposed to email notifications which only draw a summary like any notification. Voyager only sparingly addressed this by adding a toggle to disable side gestures as a whole at a later stage but without an alternative at place like the double tap I have suggested that exists from Reddit to Instagram. If your app is the one that properly addresses the feedback I bring forth to you which are the the no. 1 complaints of users transitioning to Lemmy then this can easily become the no. 1 client to the point of setting how things (like default behaviour) should be at Lemmy after Voyager.
    3. There’s no use in configuring the ones on the right if the left ones are a non-interactive element, can’t they made to be interactive? I don’t mind if the voting buttons are on the right but my point was to integrate both interactive and non-interactive element into one and open up space to lessen the reliance on ••• for common usage.\

    1. That’s why the implementation of earlier is important as in a step-by-step process, there’s no third-step without second-step in place.
    2. Simply make it easier to differentiate posts from the comments, the captions and attachments in the posts, and the parent comment from another parent comment so it isn’t confusing with replies if two people are arguing and am only interested in reading about the topic on hand for example.
    3. Thank you.
    4. I am actually aware where the edit option for communities are but unlike the desktop site for Lemmy.World, if your description has more than three lines on the viewable pane making use of the 5000 word limit with community rules, headers, bullet numbering etc then you’d understand what am mentioning here. Simply try to put and then edit your previous reply am responding upon in a community description through your client.
    5. I will not argue on this and rather suggest exploring more modern hues of blue like your app icon and match the comment theme with app colour automatically instead of still staying on grey at least.

    1. I reinstalled the app fresh even and now on your TestFlight but couldn’t really figure out myself here. However, I tried going to accounts > profile and manually enable the push notification toggle which led to a spam of sound notifications with lockscreen being lit up every five seconds for the same notification until being turned off, the app crashed on the TestFlight version when hitting the Report Issue button under ⚙️ and continues to be the case even now.
    2. No disagreements here but I have noticed bullet lists can break inside Arctic app when using paragraph spacing. It’s fine in lemmy.world site but on the reddit iOS client for example one can hit return (enter) while pressing the shift button to introduce paragraph breaks inside the bullets and numbering just like the desktop site.
    3. I applaud your understanding on this issue but if am not mistaking this wrong then instead of having to toggle within the settings layer again, just integrate having to choose & allow together when attaching a new image unless all permission is granted from iOS Settings like in other apps. One thing I would like to ask is will it be possible to attach media outside of Photos app (as from anywhere - Files app for example) like in macOS? Also, for media attachments… can they be shown exactly where it’s mentioned instead of collecting in the bottom? Not sure why caption is necessary for each upload but the images can be above those captions that are forced to fill anyway so it maintains the flow of relevance.
