Since I tend to go by Thundernerd I feel like I have to try it out.
Like the others mentioned, the UI is refreshing, it feels slick!
ETA: I do notice a tiny bit of stutter when scrolling. Not quite sure why that happens.
The scrolling stutter on the feed can be smoothed out a bit by disabling external link previews. There is a bit of an overhead constantly calling out to external sites to scrape for an image to show. As for the comment feed. I think it could be better and I'm hoping it's something we can improve on.
Oh neat, I’ll try that out! To be good, they are only minor things :D
Your comment led me to take another look at where we display external links and I think there is an improvement that can be made. Currently that option I mentioned disables all external link thumbnails. But what we should do instead is only disable the image scraping and still show the thumbnails if Lemmy has them. Expect a fix soon :)
Great to hear! Thanks for the work :D
Today's new nightly release has my changes that should make the post feed smoother :)
Just updated and it feels great so far!
