A feature from RSS readers known as grouping, where instead of a wall of posts you could see an overview:
Mechanical Keyboards (5)
Lemmy (3)
Not Just Bikes (2)
Another Community (7)
Some Community (1)
…
…For each community you see the number of unreads. If you click on one of these entries, you get the posts of that community of course, ideally being able to set up a “read” marker that “I’ve read until this post here”.
One practical idea to not require API changes for this feature could be to use bookmarks as read indicators. It’s more in the “quick and dirty” realm of course…
Great idea
If I tap-and-hold the image of an image post and tap “Share image,” it shares the image with a URL, which in Signal results in a message containing only the URL. If I use the share button instead of tap-and-hold+share, it shares the actual image. Why are the behaviors different? Why would sharing an image ever lead to anything happening other than just sharing the image?
This is Voyager, btw.
Jerboa, no cross post button. Otherwise perfection
Scrolling on jebora one handed is janky. It’s too quick to interpret a slightly angular vertical movement as a horizontal movement.
I disabled horizontal scroll actions
I didn’t even think to look. Thanks!
That, and it regularly gets stuck on a reply when trying to scroll back up
For me it’s double tap on images. The zoom is way too much.
Yes yes, using the share button is also annoying because then you have two Jerboa windows open.
Have you figured out a way to not vote up or down on something and just mark it “read”. I don’t care for having to vote on stuff I don’t care about one way or another just so I don’t have to see it when I refresh.
Personally I bookmark the last read post, and upon reading, bookmark the new one and unbookmark the old.
Yeah there’s a setting for marking read on scroll, and another for only showing unread
I’m completely happy with Boost
This. Ditched Reddit for good the day Boost finally stopped working. I’m so happy the dev made this Lemmy version.
IDK if it’s a Voyager on android issue or me being dumb or what, but sometimes I’ll hit the back icon thing on the bottom of my screen and it’ll back out twice to the screen where it shows all the communities I follow. That, and sometimes I have a hard time clicking on a post because my fat fingers will accidentally press the username by accident instead of he post title.
Exactly same issues here with Voyager. Other than that it’s a pretty solid client imho.
The other users!
Voyager user here, just some general bugginess. It’s not bad, but sometimes weird stuff happens, like when I minimize the app on my phone and then switch back, the main toolbar is misaligned.
Sync. It still works well for having been abandoned, but I can’t do things that would be trivial on PC, like reference server rules, identify moderators, and access modlogs. I have Voyager installed, but it’s so hard for me to set up another UI. I still get upset that menus aren’t like Windows 98 anymore.
Didn’t want to say anything and jinx it but Blorp has been working perfectly for me. I’ve recommended it to my friends who complain about their app/client constantly refreshing.
Thanks! Blorp is far from perfect. For example, private messaging can and will be improved when I get around to it. But I’m pretty proud of what I built so far!
Voyager doesn’t show nicknames
I’m using the default web UI. My biggest annoyance is that it isn’t TUI. I would love a good lemmy app for the terminal, with vim keybinds, most interesting things on here are text anyways.
Using connect. A new bug came in that I can’t save images anymore, makes the app hang, so I have to make screenshots
Went to the connect sub and multiple times got told that naaaahh, must be me
So I’m game for a new client! Which would you recommend.?
Try summit! I’ve tried Boost, Connect, Summit, Thunder and Voyager but only Summit checked all of those boxes:
- Feature complete (shows crossposts, community descriptions)
- Customizable enough (layout, post appearance, show upvotes and downvotes instead of sum)
- Aesthetical design (completely black theme, animations)
- Good user experience (gestures, automatic mark as read)
Only con I can think of right now is that the settings page is a bit cluttered and confusing.
Tried searching for “Summit Lemmy” on either play store and f-droid, and got nothing. Is the name correct?
That’s weird, can’t find it on F-Droid either but on Play it’s called: “Summit for Lemmy”. The icon is an orange pyramid with a blue tip.
That sounds great! I’ll give that a try right away
Sorry connect, I notified the devs multiple times about this and all I got was “it’s you, works for me”, so I’ll be leaving
ME TOO. .
It’s inconsistent for me but when it happens is lame
Love it otherwise have no other recommendations.
Voyager
There is a spot at the top of my screen that if I tap it it scrolls back to the top and I loose my position.
There is no reason for this to exist. There is no icon or indication for it.
You can tap again to undo, apollo had the feature too
Oooooooohhhhh
This is iOS functionality
The color schemes of default piefed do not have a very pretty and low power OLED option.
I want the ability to turn off downvote visibility where I can view it with a toggle but not by default. I would make more posts that drive engagement without that negativity.
It would be nice if we had a small semantics model running on the server that could assess the negativity and value of comments with an optional filter for comment visibility. There are relatively few squeaky wheel type users and (likely) bots but they have a disproportionate impact on everyone. Basically, I am saying, a genuine, real person should have an option for a beehaw administered and moderated experience through basic toggles and automaton. Like I want the negative feedback on some things, but there are posts where I know there will be a fraction of toxic people with authoritarian views and I simply do not care what fascists have to say. Or make a simple filter that looks at a voter’s statistics overall and drops votes from view when the person is a major outlier for negativity. This is only about enabling good people to post real stuff and be more open. I can only speak from experience, and my history of posts on this and my other main account show that I would post a whole lot more if it were not for the few toxic people and interactions.
Connect. It solves the issue with Sync where clicking “Back” resets my feed, but after a bit of scrolling my followed communities, sorted by recent, it just stops loading. So I ended up going back to Sync.
