this is my favourite Lemmy app so far, it feels great!

if I may add a couple bits of feedback:

  • would it be possible to select the position of the Skip Thread button? I understand that there can be at least 2 buttons down there, but it would be nice to have the flexibility.

  • swipe actions in comments are great though I feel they trigger rather easily when scrolling down a thread. not sure if others have mentioned this already but maybe reducing sensitivity so the action is more deliberate could improve the experience?

  • just noticed while typing this that the composer is having some scrolling issue with longer posts? I can't see past a specific point unless I hid the keyboard.

regardless, fantastic work! will there be a tip jar or some pricing model released soon? I'd love to support the app's development in some way

Seems like the line spacing is a bit out of whack, definitely not as condensed as it should be (especially obvious in comments).

Not sure if you are receiving the crash reports as I don’t see the usual Apple’s crash prompt but scrolling up and down in this mega thread a few time would crash the app.

Also, scrolling fast would show blank spots as well.

I noticed another visual issue with the latest version. This time with the comments. Seems part of the comment can get cut off. See image.

Overall, I’m loving the app more and more with each update. At this point, I can use it to lurk without any real issues. I only need to switch to post or to comment with a photo. There are a few “wishlist” features that I’d love to see. But you’re moving real fast!

Since Steve is amazingly adding more features to knock out our requests, I’ll add more requests.

Can we get collapsible threads?

Thanks.

Hi there,

First issue:

  • NSFW Posts just Show a complete black screen. Even the Menu disappears.
[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Fixing this now.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

This should be fixed in the latest build (2023.7.18.19.38)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Got a couple of things right off the bat:

  1. You might not want your username as the placeholder for the username (maybe you do 🤷)
  2. If I click on a pinned post the screen just goes black. In this case, it was this post https://apollo.town/post/22726 when browsing my local timeline
[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you, fixing both of these things now!

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

This should be fixed in the latest build (2023.7.18.19.38)

Going into a community from the community icon at the bottom makes that bottom navigation bar disappear.

voila

It also disappears if I view a post.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is currently expected behaviour. You'll notice it will also disappear when tapping through to a post from the Home screen.

I'm open to feedback or arguments for keeping the tab bar around when tapping through.

[–] ArbitraryMary 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’d prefer it to be there. Just for ease of navigation more than anything. It seems to make more sense like if I am in communities, then in a post, I’d have to tap or swipe back twice to access my inbox or search? Or what if I’m down a rabbit hole of communities, I’d need to swipe all the way back rather than just being able to click home.

[–] steve228uk 1 points 1 year ago

Okay, I'll have a think about it. You can press and hold on the back button to get a stack of history — that's possible in any iOS app! 😄

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Agree on this, but I'm up for giving the new UX a shot for a bit.

Don’t know if I’m being really dumb, but I can’t find any way to post to a community. I can reply to comments, but not actually make a post. Also, the search tab has no search box, but is just an empty page with the word “Search” and no way to actually search for anything.

[–] miket 1 points 1 year ago

Read the known issues in the megathread post you are replying to. It is not yet possible to create posts yet. Search is not supported either.

[–] mondul 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Hi, so far seems great! I’d like to request some new features, but won’t do that now, so I’ll focus on something I found while scrolling, it flickers sometimes. I’m on iOS, scrolling through beehaw with the default app settings

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Are you able to let me know which device you're using? Are you using the compact or card view for posts? Is it slow rendering of the rows or flickering of thumbnails?

[–] mondul 1 points 1 year ago

Hi, sorry for the late answer. I’m using an iPhone 14 (the regular one), and card views. I’ll test with another instance to check if this also happens there 🙂

[–] mondul 1 points 1 year ago

I forgot to mention I set the full height images config flag, so it wasn’t the default configs as I said yesterday, sorry about that

I love the look of this app! I’ve been trying all of them, and have so far kept going back to Memmy. But this one has the potential to take over! I will be watching with great interest!

[–] miket 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When creating a new post, for some reason it says “2m from now”.

[–] mondul 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hi, I found another bug: my replies in comments are not being shown under the right parent.

Here’s how it’s shown on Liftoff (and on the web page):

And here’s what’s on Bean:

Thanks again for your app

[–] steve228uk 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue and will likely be fixed tomorrow.
