Piefed is a nice project, as much as I would like to make it my main Lemmy client, it wastes too much screen space with large controls on smartphone for my taste 🤷♂️
Will use it from time to time until then, thanks for this new release 😊

Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re finding the UI to be an issue. If possible I would like to improve how it looks on mobile with the PyLova fork.
On my device I see it as the attached screenshot, which doesn’t appear to have too much wasted screen space. Is it different on your device? What parts exactly are an issue for you?
Thanks for your time!
Hello
Thanks for your reply, I didn’t expect that, my post was an encouragement to keep up the good work, not a criticism.
Your screenshot does look better than mine, see that very tall icon bar? I don’t know why they are stacked on two rows.
Even on one row, I would say that it needs to be resized close to 66% height, maybe 50%.
Maybe I should look for piefed support forum or something ?
On my browser piefed look normal too, maybe because you using different language?
I figured out that this double row is specific to iOS.
@mrkaplan@lemmy.world this one is probably for you
