Jerboa needs a lot of work. Especially on the UI front.
The thing i haven't worked out yet, is how to get it to open links to lemmy communities by default. For example if I click on a link from community promo it opens in Firefox focus rather than Jeroba. If I search for said community on Jeroba, it usually won't find it.
You can get it to open some links by going to app info, by holding the app on the homesceen. Then default links, you can toggle open support links and add the links available from there
thanks. It lists links to 8 instances. For some reason I couldn't add https://lemmy.world to it though.
I want to be able to collapse children comments from the parent.
If I'm not mistaken, you can do that by tapping and holding on the top of the parent comment.
I already saw one user who posted great content including citations -- adding user tags is what I miss.
Yes! Everything RES adds would be nice!
On jerboa, I wish there was a way to enlarge images posted in commdnts
This, as well as a builtin browser and a way to view URLs before opening them (like RIF does).
I think the lack of hiding of previously viewed posts is one of my biggest gripes. I used to use Hide a lot in Reddit but all the alternatives are missing it.
A few other issues I have:
Hiding viewed/voted posted is a setting "show read", un-check it.
Yeah, I think that a helps a bit but if it requires actually opening the thread, then it's only a mild improvement. I'd really prefer mark as read or hide without opening the thread (there's a lot of threads I have no interest in reading but are hanging around the front page).
I appreciate the suggestion though. It does help a little.
Keyword filtering from RES.
Also, equivalent of setting up and saving multisubreddits, which helps for accessing communities that are the same but across different instances.
Oh, I like it! A multi-subreddit should be a must-have for a federated community like Lemmy.
It would create a simple way to lump together all these Gaming group (from different servers) into a single view. Such a feature would improve visibility and also (hopefully) reduce the amount of noise/duplicate content (ie: one trailer being reposted to each Gaming channel/server)
Ooh, I definitely agree with multireddits. I definitely want to be able to look at certain communities on the same feed without subscribing to them by default
I miss Apollo :(
And RiF. The ability to search for subs and create topic groups, etc.
We have been spoiled by both! I use the Melm iPhone app which is still in beta, and there are a TON of features I want… which I realize was just Apollo! It stinks that the development of new features we enjoyed with Apollo is kind of back at square 1 with new apps.
On the Jerboa app, swiping right to go back to to previous page. And the ability to hide viewed posts on both mobile app and browses.
I'm presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit's,
Eg:
/post/{title}-{title_id}
/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments
Etc
Make likes and comments have a stronger effect for smaller communities in the listing algorithm. The top of me feed is just c/technology and c/meme.
For me it’s filtering out posts that I’ve already seen. Now I get the same posts over and over again.
So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I'm using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I'd like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I'm not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I'm sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.
Hamburger > Settings > [username] settings ...
Is there any setting for comments?
Not yet. A pull request was accepted just a few days ago so hopefully will be in the next version of the app.
RES's ability to resize images/video by dragging is one I'm definitely missing right now.
An easy way to search for and subscribe to non local communities would be great. Right now the search only considers "connected" instances and only considers the community name and not the sidebar or actual content.
I'm on kbin, but one thing I miss from RES on desktop is the ability to click and drag to resize expanded images
I miss the information density of redreader. Everything just feels so spread out.
I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I'd also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it's free and open source.
Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I've already seen (so it doesn't show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.
Lemmy Enhancement Suite
It really needs an app and page with a decent and clean UI. (most important)
It also needs a more streamline way of finding communities.
It would be nice as well to have better feeds as well.
A “Mark Read on Scroll” feature. I’ve noticed each time I’m entering a previously viewed community I have to scroll past the stuff I’ve already seen. This could be user error as I’m fairly new to this.
I'd love a way to browse other instances "local" view the way I can browse my own home instance.
Incidentally, this is also a missing feature on Mastodon.
I'm on Beehaw with a couple of subscriptions to communities in other instances. I like viewing all of the local Beehaw communities as a "front page", but I'd like my other subscriptions to show up in that view without having to manually subscribe to all of the Beehaw communities.
I’d love to see flairs. They were a great way to categorise posts in advance so you knew what you might want to click on.
A way to jump to the next comment within a level. Infinity had a big button to jump to the next top level comment, and the reddit web page you can click on the colored bar that aligns the comment levels to jump to the next comment.
I would try to find a solution for instance agostic links for posts or comments. afaik there is currently no way to do that.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
