The app is coming together and improving pretty rapidly so far. I can see that Apollo has been a big inspiration in regards to gestures which makes me feel “at home” while browsing the lemmyverse. I’m definitely loving it.

My only suggestions would be having the ability to change the font size. I’m unfortunately at a stage in my life where it’s becoming more difficult to read smaller fonts, and I’m having to squint to read the comments.

I also made a request to the mlem dev to have the ability to toggle a setting that hides the top and bottom bars while scrolling through threads/comments like you can within Apollo. It’d be nice if a similar setting could be added.

Can images me made easier to swipe away? I feel like much of the time I try to swipe up or down and it just moved the image instead of dismissing like I’m attempting.

Visually my favorite app so far!

I world love the swipe touch target to be widened quite a bit. One handed swiping can be difficult using my right hand and it’s one of the things that kept me on for Apollo so long.

Does anyone else have the problem on iPad where when you click on a photo in a post, the right 1/3 gets cropped off?

Hey I tried to join the discord using the link above, but discord said it was invalid/had expired. Any new links?

Did I hallucinate that swipe to save is a feature? Or was it and did it miraculously disappear?

Some feedback: 1: I’m sure you are working on this, but adding the ability to search for communities should be a priority. IMHO, I would copy how Apollo has a dedicated tab on the bottom menu for search. Alternatively, see (7)

2: A couple of features aren’t properly scaling when using the app in the “slide over” configuration on an iPad. The ones I’ve found so far are: it’s impossible to downvote a comment, the top UI elements smoosh into each other, and images don’t display without clicking on them

3: Consider getting a bit more active about promoting the app. This is way more impressive than Mlem

4: Consider adding a dedicated downvote button to comments. Currently people browsing with gestures disabled would not be able to downvote comments at all

5: Consider copying how Apollo will report how many comments are in a collapsed thread / comment chain. This is required to implement (6)

6: Consider automatically collapsing comment chains that are more than 5 replies deep.

7: Consider creating a dedicated interface for selecting communities / all. Perhaps the dialog could be triggered by tapping the top bar, and would contain radio buttons for sorting by all / subscribed / local, as well as a list of subscribed communities. You could also include a redundant shortcut to search (or even put the entire search dialog) here (see (1))

8: The menu when inside a community is currently missing the sidebar

Overall, this app is amazing! —

Hi!

Two quick items of feedback.

1. When browsing a community, it would be useful to be able to tap the community name at the top centre to go to a drop-down menu of other communities you’ve subscribed. This was default on Apollo. Obviously we have the traverse button now and that’s useful.

2. When searching communities it would be really useful to see number of users. This is especially important as there can be many communities named after a similar topic, say, “photography”.

I would love a version of “compact” that hides all thumbnails. It makes for an even more compact list of text rather than dedicating space for a square thumbnail, many of which are just empty because they are text posts and/or just outward going links, and I do enjoy the visual cleanliness that comes from not having a variety of different squares of colors against a black background lining the right side of the text.

Nice update but a few things I’m noticing.

Firstly, am I imagining things or did Memmy previously have swipe left / right interactions for upvote / downvote and reply, as these don’t seem to be working for me.

Also, I’m seeing odd behaviour in the following user journey:

I opened the app and was in the Feed tab, and decided I wanted to view posts on the Memmy community, so I opened the Profile tab, and navigated to the the subscriptions page, and clicked on Memmy. I then clicked on the post I wanted to view (this User feedback thread) and nothing happened. However, when I navigated back to the Feed tab the post was open there.

That seems like strange UX to me and I’m not sure it’s be design. Also, because there was apparently nothing happening whenI clicked on the post in the subscriptions tab I clicked it a few times, and this opened a whole bunch of the same post in the Feed tab so navigating back I had to work through the open instances to actually get back to the feed.

I hope I’m explaining that clearly.

Edit: I see the second issue I raised has already been mentioned in another post, apologies.

Wow, I am absolutely loving this app so far! Thank you!

Do you have a new link for the discord? I’m getting an error that the link in the post is invalid or expired.

1. Light/dark theme (that can be set independently or follow the system setting)
2. A “mailbox” to see the comments/responses back to me.
3. Ability to post in a community isn’t consistently working for me. Sometimes I hit the “post” button and nothing happens. Then, if I try to “cancel” making a post, the app freezes.
4. I know this is total fluff, but I love app themes. The ability to change a theme to an app can make it so much more pleasant depending on lighting conditions or mood. Also ability to adjust font size.

I with the “feed” uses the same font size as when you open a post. The letters on the feed are way too big now.
