We’ve got a lot of Lemmy app options rolling out soon—it’s exciting!
What do you wish was better about the current way you browse Lemmy, and what features do you hope to have down the road?
wefwef.app is perfect and extremely smooth right now and can be installed locally as an app. It’s open-source, it has a GitHub repo for those who want to host their own or want to audit the code. Would be cool if it was available directly as an apk on Play Store, I believe it would be hugely beneficial for Lemmy if it became the “official” app!
I’d say other apps should try to take some hints from wefwef, it does all the things right, is inspired by Apollo and once you use it you won’t miss Reddit at all!
Swiping in order to upvote/downvotes/reply is an awesome feature that definitely stands out.
Being able to jump back a page without snapping to the top is the only issue I have with the PWA set up I’ve got. Otherwise it’s great as is.
I’m mostly waiting for marking posts as read as you scroll by and hiding read posts (but only in your feed). I think this is especially important with the federated content that might come in later than when I “scrolled past” the point in time it would appear in my feed.
No.
But say, I’m currently looking at my Subscriptions sorted by New. I doomscroll until I see stuff that is 10 hours old. While I do that posts could come in that are 5 hours old. But the next time I doomscroll I wouldn’t go that far back because I think I’ve already seen stuff that old.
If what I have seen already was automatically marked as read and not showing for me, I would still see the 5 hours old stuff because that wouldn’t have been marked as read.
For web: better theming, for app: i18n, for both: much smoother subscription to other instances.
Before I got thunder I used jerboa. It has a bug where when I backspaced it would squish the text together making me have to go and respace my text.
