I personally like that users aren't shown in my feed because it makes list view so clean looking, but it absolutely makes sense to at least have it as an option! I'd be kinda into seeing usernames when browsing communities and clicking into posts, moreso than in my main feed, but that might be getting too granular.

You should file a GitHub ticket about this!

This is happening for me as well, as soon as I open the app :( also on Android. May try uninstalling/reinstalling to see if that helps

EDIT: That seems to have helped! My app is working again now, either way :)

That's fair! I mentioned the idea of an alternate layout with dedicated voting buttons and it sounds like that is on the developer's radar, but it may be a bit before it gets implemented. I personally prefer buttons so I'm hopeful it'll happen eventually!

Bless you, I am so excited for that update!!

Huge fan of Thunder - it's still in alpha so it's missing features, but it's slick as heck and the developer is crunching out great updates already based on feedback on the GitHub page/their community page! Using Jerboa mostly for now, but likely will be using Thunder as my main in a few weeks :)

If you swipe slightly right it'll upvote, and a swipe further right will downvote; if you do it slowly you can see the animation and color to the left of the post changes. Right now the way it's coded there's some lag between your swipe and the vote count changing, which the dev said he hopes to address soon!

There was also some talk of toggleable voting arrows as an alternative to swiping, but I don't know the timeline on that right now :)

Another one I forgot to mention was another feature from Boost - that app also has the up/down arrows to let you quickly navigate the parent threads on a post's comment view, with the handy additional feature that long-pressing on the up arrow zooms you back up to the top of the page. Always appreciated that feature!

 

Hi! Loving Jerboa and Lemmy in general, and the latest updates have really improved the experience for me. I had two thoughts for potential improvements that I figured I'd float, and could make a GitHub ticket if they seemed like good things to implement:

  • I love the list view, but I find very often that if the post title is only one line tall it is very easy to accidentally click whatever is directly below it. If it's possible, a little extra padding to the selectable area for the post title would be great (even if it's not visible padding and just some coding trickery)
  • I wouldn't mind an option to hide community and user icons on a post within my feed (for a cleaner/more compact look), while still showing user icons once I'm in comment view (maybe I missed this option?)
  • One of my most used features coming from Boost for Reddit was the ability to long-press the community for a given post and get a popup menu, from which I could block/mute said community from my feeds without having to actually click through. If this is possible to implement that would be AMAZING. Screenshot attached:

If it's better to file these in GitHub I can do that :) thanks again for a great app!

I love the compact look! Feels like you're showing just the right amount of info here. My two questions/thoughts:

  • How does voting work in that view? (I'll admit I haven't logged in to Thunder yet so I'm not sure how voting works in-feed using the default view, if that's possible)
  • could there be an option to put the thumbnails on the right side?

Honestly I really like Jerboa's list view with the voting arrows on the left, but your compact view looks even classier since you iconified a few things that they currently represent with words. Excited to try your compact view once it's been implemented!

I believe this was Lemmynade originally!

A delightfully devilish shitpost

I also very much appreciated this feature in Boost for Reddit - up and down arrows at the bottom of the screen to navigate top level comments, and holding down the up button took you to the top of the post. Quite handy!

I really like Slice, hahah. Simple, short and memorable!
