Opening Images (kbin.social)

I know that Ernest is very busy right now, and this is not a priority, but I have a request/comment about how images are shown.

Currently when you're browsing a magazine and you click on an image this opens the article, then you need to click the image again to open the image (this is on mobile, don't know if desktop is different).

On Lemmy clicking an image expands it inline without opening the article. I much prefer this as I can look at the image and then decide if I want to click into the article.

As an aside, it would be nice if clicking anywhere on the article comment could open the article, not just the title.

Thanks Ernest for your hard work!

I didn't know about the image icon either, so I made a script that adds a button to hide/show the auto media preview.

script link

Magazine article with icon below it to expand hidden media preview
Magazine article with media preview expanded below it

there's a little expand button that you can click on to view it without going into the thread.

Cool, thanks!
That's not particularly obvious, but functional.

yeah it took me a while to figure out as well lol

Doesn't mark the thread as read when you click on it either. Which kind of sucks.

There’s a setting called “Auto media preview” that will automatically expand images/videos so you don’t have to tap anything. I’m on mobile and for me it’s in the display setting that are towards the bottom of every page (below the option to choose a theme, in the “Threads” section).

This is good. It would be nice if the media showed inside the card, not separately below it.
So that is obvious what media belongs to which thread.
