When voting on a video/gif that is playing reloads the video which restarts it playing from the beginning. Happens when both using the voting arrows or the swipe action. I expect it to continue playing.

The post swipe controls have hiding the post as an option. Giving the comments the same options would allow for a consistent user experience.

I'd like to turn on notifications in Connect, but I really don't want it polling for them every minute. Can we get some granularity for this feature?

My AMOLED theme kept reverting to the normal dark theme on app restart. Had to manually set the background colors to #000 to fix it.

Add an option to enable a Discord-style sliding left nav (i.e. swipe from anywhere and the main view gets "pushed" off to the right by the left nav).

See Discord for more details on how this looks and works.

The following regex, if inserted into the Filters section, causes Connect to fail to load any content from any instance and report "INSTANCE is not responding"

/(\[|\()[Mm](\]|\)))/

It is missing one left paren, and instead of a useful error message, it breaks Connect in a surprising way

As the title says: When I tap the "View full post" button, it loads all posts as expected but instead of disappearing after loading all posts, it stays on screen, still displaying the message: Viewing a single comment thread "View full post". And it won't go away even after tapping it repeatedly.

The left bar nav wouldn't load for me until I added one to my profile!!

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

So it blocks communities with certain keywords in them like anything containing 'meme' as an example.

Would be an amazing feature, since blocking communities becomes wack a mole with the amount of duplicate community names that pop up from different instances.

It's too easy to swipe "right" by swiping too diagonally on a post and close it. When it's closed, there isn't a way to go back to the place in the post you were reading.

I'm now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., 'politics', 'news', 'memes'. New ones pop up every time I visit 'all' and it would be so nice if I didn't have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I've seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is already an option and I'm not seeing it, but I would like to have the option to only see the communities I'm subscribed to.

When I go into a user profile and block the user, it reloads the feed completely, rather than returning me to where I was in the scroll.

Awesome app with better functionality than any others Ive found. Your work is appreciated

When blocking an instance it blocks the instance of the poster (which is correct), however the toast message says it has blocked the instance of the community. Gave me a bit of a panic as I thought it had blocked a large and popular instance rather than a spam domain!

Currently, Connect will ask if you'd like to open a clicked URL. You only have yes or no options.

Adding a copy URL button would prevent having to view the page in order to access the copy URL option from there.

Adding the standard share button isn't as useful to me since I'm only trying to share URLs to friends. But I noticed the lack of this when I'd backed out of a page and figured I'd share it. But ended up having to view it again just to do so.

Hi, I wanted to get more into theme and customization improvements but a lot of great feature requests came up and I ended up just implementing those instead. I might need a better system to compile release notes soon as in the past week there have been 11 beta releases and it's a bit tedious to go through each to compile the final release notes. Probably the biggest change in this release is the way back navigation works, hopefully it's now in a state that is more intuitive instead of back activating the drawer menu.

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to provide feedback and suggestions, even if I haven't had the time to respond I've read them all. It's really appreciated!

Also Connect turns 2 months old on Tuesday. Kind of crazy how quickly that went and how much the app has changed in that short amount of time. Thank you again to everyone that has stuck with me these past 2 months, Connect is as much your app as it is mine.

Not a major issue at all, just graphical, but I think it's good to know;

Using the app on a phone that has a narrower screen than normal (like Samsung booklike foldables outer display) can cause overflowing in some cases, like comment or post toolbars/button bars, as you can see on the screenshot.

There's no loss in functions.

As it stands, there doesn't seem to be an option to make the button for comments open the comments section on posts. It goes directly to leaving a comment.

There's a bunch of options that you can change that button (button 1, etc) in the settings to, including removing it altogether. I click the comment button every time, then I remember that I have to click the body of the post to see comments (resulting in backing out and extra clicks). I can't seem to get my muscle memory right on that - probably partially because I bounce back to Jerboa, where you do click the comment button to go to the comments.

As for visually, I like the button icon and comment count, so I think that's perfect - I would just love for there to be a setting to change the action from leaving a comment to go to comments section. Maybe "view comments" and "leave comment" in the settings to differentiate.

Pretty please? ❤️

Love using Connect but I find the Medium font size for posts view is too big and Small is too small. Would it be possible to add additional sizes or a slider for the size?

Not to be dramatic, but this has become a critical issue as football season starts. It's probably something I'll switch apps over. For some examples, head over to !NFL@lemmy.world and look at any game thread. It takes about 20 seconds (not an exaggeration) of scrolling to get to the comments.

Apparently this is a known issue that has been mentioned before.

I've been finding the links directly to videos don't play in connect, eg this one (Ukraine Drone video of grenades being dropped into empty tanks, no gore) https://sopuli.xyz/post/2226461n they play in the Web and with sync.

Any idea if these can be supported?
