Hey there thanks for the app and all, I really like using it :) some feedback from me:
On the UI, I think the floating plus button on the homescreen is unnecessary, as searching for a sub/finding it in the subscription list and pressing the create button is just as fast. The fab plus takes up too much space unnecessarily imo. But I understand if this is a personal preference by some of the creators.
In the menu were we select federations, lemmyworld is also avalaible. I’m part of Feddit, but not lemmyworld. Would it be possible to use my account from feddit for upvotes and comments while browsing lemmyworld’s ALL? Until now it’s too much of a burden with ‘open in other instance’… just takes too many interactions. I have the feddit stream, but I appreciate the different content on lemmyworld.
After adding your instance you can remove lemmy.world by long pressing it in the account settings
We’re working on improving the interactions for non logged in instances. Specifically trying to enable functionality that should be possible if you’re on a different instance that is federated.
You can track the progress here:
I agree with cleaning up the navigation bar and fab ‘+’. Perhaps incorporate the + symbol into the nav bar or just make it less obtrusive. Also would like to see an option to hide the navigation bar when scrolling. Keep up the good work!
Yes I agree that the + fab should be removed or shrunk or something. It seems silly to have a big coloured button for a feature that isn’t used that often, especially on the home page.
You should be able to add your instance by either navigating to it and selecting “add instance” from the main page, or by adding it under Settings>Hamburger Menu. You can also remove instances to lean out your everything feed, too.
I do agree with changing the default look of the create button, since it’s taking up some valuable screen space. I’m assuming the dev is trying to promote people to post more by having it always be visible.
My instance is already added, but I want to browse lemmyworlds ALL from time to time as well. Then it would be nice to automatically do it through my feddit account, so that I can vote/comment etc… without creating a new lemmyworld account.

That’s what I thought as well, but I never actually use it when posting. Best example is this post :D
