I ran into a few problems that I have listed below. None of them really break the viewing experience, but if you have the time, please look into these! I'm sure these will be some nice fixes to have for everyone.
- Long comment chains leave very little space for text. Comment color indicators start taking up most of the space! See: https://lemmy.world/post/935243
Something like how Relay for Reddit handles this would be nice. It has a 'continue comment chain' option for longer comment chains (like after a certain depth of comments, I think 10), and when you click on the button, it opens the next comment as a new top level comment, which resets the viewing depth.
- Clicking on a comment from our profile page opens the whole comment thread from the very top; it'd be nice if it only showed our comment (with options to show full post or context, like how Jerboa does it).
Edit:
-
Deleted comments still show up (they are marked as deleted however). They don't on other apps. Not sure if it's by design or not, but I thought I'd bring it up.
-
Noticed that the new hotfix lazy loads the comments. Would it be possible to have a 'show more' button instead of auto load? (or atleast a loading indicator)
On slow instances (like lemmy.world right now), sometimes the lazy loading gets stuck, and there's no way to know whether the end of the chain is the actual end or if the loading of the remaining comments failed. -
When making a post (from places like the frontpage / All page etc), could there be an option to choose the community from the ones we're subscribed to, instead of typing the name and waiting for the options to pop up?
Imo, most posts are made to subscribed communities, so getting the names quicker will result in better flow. -
Support some of the popular instances in 'open by default' for Android.
Probably yeah. It'll eventually be an issue.
I just wanted to see if it self adjusted, but nope, it doesn't.
