Connect for Lemmy App

I know there were complaints about how the back button made the app behave but damn don't I miss having it open the drawer.

I been using the app all summer and now it's programmed in me that back button on main = drawer, instead now I'm closing the app constantly.

A setting for back button behaviour would be great, that way everyone can customize however they want it.

Also a padding setting for the swipe area to open the drawer would be great.

Being new to Lemmy and Connect I love the ability to block a community with one click. Could the the ability to subscribe to a community be under the ellipsis on the feed post along with block?

Thank you.

If the inbox is loading, you can swipe to open the left nav. After the inbox loads that action just dismisses your inbox, so it does not have the same effect.

After the left nav shows up while the inbox is loading, the subscribed feed either

1. reloads in a couple of seconds
2. doesn't load at all like this

I think this is a bug. Probably should not be able to open left nav when inbox is loading, no?

This appears when I try to comment on hexbear.net via Connect. I can comment just fine via browser.

i saw those in the settings for post sorting, and was wondering what they even do lol

Because I just found it, and it works great.
Now, what do you want to be noted as?

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

I don't think this actually updates the post's read status to Lemmy, so might just be a little UI bug.

Could you please consider to let the navigation bar at the bottom go into autohide while scrolling down and let it reappear when scrolling up?

Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.

I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

Hi

I've got multiple Lemmy accounts. I wanted to remove an account, so signed out of it.

This resulted in an empty account UI, no three dots to switch to an existing account, I had to close the app and start it again to see the account menu and then select an existing account to get it to work.

This is on the latest beta on Google Play

Currently, looking-tap behavior hides the comment. This should enable text selection instead.

Additionally, the comment hiding should be a visible option of its own.

1. Let me explain. When I enable the ratio of votes I can fully understand what's going on, however when I click it to make a vote it won't be counted (I checked it via browser). Furthermore, if I use swipe, it works, but opening a post after voting won't show me my vote, that's odd. Hopefully, it will be fixed.

2. I consider it as a UI glitch. I use the bottom navigation only mode. When I'm on the main page and tap the main tab it shows me animation as if I were going back from somewhere instead of showing the updating page animation.

Thank you for the great app! I use Pixel 7, Android 13

Question in the title. Is this even possible within the app?

Maybe view switch option could be in hamburger menu

When I pull down to refresh, I get different posts depending on whether I instantly release, vs holding for a second or two. Is this intentional?

Thanks for the hardwork so far on Connect!

I think the only app that allows us to customise fonts so far is Sync. Would love to be able to change font faces and sizes for posts and comments in Connect.

Personally I prefer a serif font for comments.

Update:

This is an example of what I want to open the hamburger menu. https://sendvid.com/328hidfa

Original post:

Up until the latest update, pressing back from the homepage would open the hamburger menu allowing for easy access to jump to a specific community or go to your profile etc.

I agree with people that this action being caused by the "back" key was unintuitive and unexpected and much prefer the new and more obvious result of pressing back from the homepage which is to exit the app. However, there is now no longer a way to easily open the hamburger menu when browsing one-handed and this is an oversight!

I propose that a "left swipe" from the homepage opens up this menu (currently swiping left from the homepage does nothing)

I'm a little confused what tags are working in Connect. Possible for a quick list or table demonstrating them. :::Spoiler?::: etc

Having the option to block an instance from showing up in the All feed on a per account basis would be really convenient. Some things I only want to see some of the time.

Is there a way to only see post from communitys I've subscribed to? There is this functionally in many other lemmy ui's. It would go along with the All, Local feeds. Thanks!

First of all: Thanks for an amazing app!
When opening a comment through the inbox, then pressing back afterwards makes all comments show up twice in the list. Repeating this will make them show thrice.
Exiting and reopening the inbox solves the issue.
When I upvote a comment then press back it shows both 'versions' of the message.

I know about the show read option in instance settings, but I often like to revisit posts I've upvoted or haven't voted on, and my saved list gets heavy quickly. I can of course downvote and manually hide, but it would be a nice little convenience feature if it could happen automatically.
