Portmaster ui is still clunky doesn't show blocked apps separately. No easy way to restart it's notifier.

No way to allow all or block all in notifications

What do you think is responsible for lemmy’s growth over other alternatives like KBin and Tildes? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Kbin is written in php and lemmy is written in rust which may scale better in long run.

Graph should remove the outlier as it is skewing the results for every other instance and not letting to see smaller numbers show up.

Or we should move to log scale so that it can be displayed correctly.

Hiding viewed posts ? in c/wefwef@lemmy.world

Yes I am already using that but it doesn't mark post read sometimes. It has certain criteria which is not met always. If application gives control to mark hidden and unhide as well it would be best.

Post title not there when Shared (programming.dev)
 

When share option is used for sharing the post link it is not sharing text along with it.

It would be great if title of the post is shared as the text along with the URL.

I usually share interesting links to a notepad application which can capture text and URL from other applications but for this app it only shows the URL.

How important is port forwarding, actually? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

How will this work if you are behind double NAT by your isp

Search History (programming.dev)
 

First of all I would like to say that search in this app works great and it is easy to search post community etc.

However if the app can show me my recent search history which could be locally stored then it would be great.

Many times while browsing you need to go to some other tab and when you come back to search your context is lost due to which you need to search again.Here having recent search terms already populated will help.

Dimming posts after seeing is already there in jerboa. They don't have a way to hide it but an issue is open for that too.

Yes due to federation post is often repeated on multiple servers.

I checked there is a PR being discussed on GitHub but it's proposing to hide post on swipe right.

Along with that i think simply opening or voting on post should also mark it as Read.

Hiding viewed posts ? (programming.dev)
 

How to hide posts which have been read.

I am coming from jerboa app and this feels wonderful. However I am unable to mark the posts as Read.

App should I dim the colour of posts which have been Read. Even better if it gives an option to hide them so that same post is not repeated.

Any possibility of a "Mark as read on scroll" feature to Jerboa? in c/jerboa@lemmy.ml
