Tesseract has infinite scroll, it makes me jealous because I can’t find a clean way to implement it

Lol, thanks. If it’s any consolation, implementing that was a huge pain, and I would not do it again if I knew how much of a pain it was going to be.

I kinda like not having infinite scroll. Makes it less addictive.

It’d be nice as an option though

I tested safari on an iPhone 15 running iOS 17 and could not find any issues. What OS are you on?

I tested it on an iPad and an iPhone, I believe they were running iOS 16.4 (I say I believe because they’re a relatives devices, not mine). The issue was that the page wouldn’t end at the bottom, there would be a bunch of empty space you could scroll through

Kinda dont like the new navigation system. Would be great to have a option to get the old one back, not just to replace it with a similar looking one

Please read the post.

  • If you dislike the change, go to settings and press “Legacy Navigation Style”. It is at the top of settings.

Yeah, saw and tried that. The setting only changes the position and size and doesnt revert it to how it looked like pre 1.29 from what ive seen

Is it possible to set the old navigation style as the default via an ENV parameter?

My first impression is that it doesn’t work very well on desktop. Maybe on mobile it is better, but there are many other mobile apps for Lemmy…

Maybe there could be an option to only enable it on small screens?

Yes, you can set the old navigation style as the default.

Can you please document how (via ENV) in the readme? Thanks!

Sure. For now, I’ve added it to the release notes on the Github. Instance admins should set PUBLIC_DOCK_TOP and PUBLIC_DOCK_PANEL to true.
