If you scroll by an image and tap on it, then I think the image should open up in full screen.

Right now tapping the image on the feed opens the post where I then have to tap it again. This isn't the worst but doesn't a feel smooth. Especially because a slight delay is required between the two taps. If you mess that up then you have to tap it three times.

It's coming! We merged it into our dev codebase early this morning, so if it passes our internal testing it'll be out soon. We're currently sitting in App Store review, so the next build won't be out until that clears, but once we're over that hurdle we've got a whole slate of much-needed improvements planned.

one of the many reasons i switch between this app and voyager, the image not opening fully and just opening the post is very annoying but love the apps look and feel

I still really want a way to copy the image to share. And I know the fancy post image from Apollo is a rather high bar but it was a godsend to share the post contents with a specific comment to friends. I’ve got a Swift UI project at work so after I get back into the swing of writing Swift again it might be rather nice to contribute.

No offense to the team at Mlem or any indie app developer but not using Apollo has made me really appreciate Christian's skill. Apollo was a masterclass for simple yet functional and intuitive UX

I think Mlem is on track to be better than Apollo was at this rate. You gotta remember, Apollo had been released and in continued development for years. Mlem is around 2 months old

Agreed. You can’t compare any Lemmy apps to Apollo or RiF etc. They had years of feedback and development.

Where Mlem and Liftoff are at already is extremely impressive from both teams.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Liftoff's look but I'll check it out. I saw they had an App Store release

The only thing I don’t like about the app is when an image has small text, there’s no way for me to view the image and zoom in on it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes please!

For PC users people are at least starting to embed images now. It allows us IMAGUS users to quickly get through stuff like we used to be able to on Reddit. It's easily one of the best parts about browsing optimally.

Next up would be hiding posts based on if you've upvoted or downvoted them before.

I'm unsure if these features are on KBin. I'm still learning as I go lol.

Does tapping on a image on a post actually open the image? Doesn’t do that for me.
