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

Loving this so far.
My only real complaint is the swipe gestures. They seem a bit too easy, in that I find myself swiping stuff just trying to scroll up and down. Also, it seems awkward that returning the swipe to the right edge with my finger still yields an upvote. Personally I’d prefer if I only got the upvote if I release my finger while the upvote icon is still showing – not sure if that’s a common opinion though.
I’ve found that it’s a bit easy but my muscle memory has accepted it already. Maybe a delay in triggering the action would be useful? As in, slide to up vote and holding it for half a second or something. 🤷♂️
But yeah not sure how common the opinion is.
Totally agree. Something seemed off about how the swipe actions worked but I couldn’t put my finger on it
