Just a quick observation: I cannot scroll the entirety of the comments within a post that extend beyond a few lines. I can collapse comments and get a bit further but it hits an invisible wall. I have tried adjusting my scroll settings within DeX and the issue persists. I just wanted to make a post for awareness - I am grateful for Connect and it works perfectly for me within the intended phone/app mode. Cheers!

Using a new device, I'm finding that top level comments for posts don't have much by way of padding or margin on the left (or right). On this new device, these comments can be difficult to read due to a curved screen. Is there a way I can somehow add some padding?

I mentioned this in a comment but I figured it would get lost there.

The recent update means redgifs videos now load (yay) but reveals a new problem: videos cannot be saved in-app. Attempting to do so (with file permissions enabled) instead saves a tiny file with the same name, but none of the data.

As redgifs disallows saving from their site in-browser, this effectively makes redgifs content unsaveable.

Any solution or workaround would be appreciated.

Could we please have the navigation bar be transparent?

I'd like to see an option to open a particular post as a different user. Mastodon clients have this and I find it pretty handy.

ie. Clicking the menu on a post should have "open as" which then lets you select one of your other logged in identities, and switches back to the post from that account.

This sounds like a really cool feature if not to difficult to add. https://dubvee.org/post/1621850

I've noticed a lot of blank comments that look active. Opening the comment in a browser shows it was removed by a mod. So those mod messages aren't being displayed. Here are a couple of screenshots showing the problems:

In Connect.

In Firefox

Example post: https://lemmy.world/post/18146992

I'm not sure why but shields.io images don't display in Connect.

The MediaBiasFactChecker bot leaves comments that I like to see so I don't want to block it....but it's designed for how the browser version of Lemmy handles spoilers. It says "(click to view the whole report)" which expands the multiline comment.

On Connect, the entire spoiler section shows up (but blacked out, of course).

Honestly I prefer the way Connect handles it now but I don't expect the bot maker to change their formatting to cater to just one app so an option for it would be awesome

This is after I click on View All in my Inbox. Thanks!

The display of inline images in posts is not very good (they are often a bit small). Sometimes they aren't too bad - the second image is ok but not as large as it could be, but the top one is tiny. Can this be improved?

Spinner shows while thumbnail is being shown after upload and thumbnail is being generated, but not when actually uploading. (I am attempting to attach gif to this post, but not sure if upload has failed, still going or just not possible.)

I am mobile while I am creating this post, so uploads are laggy anyway.

Today I've visited TechCrunch from a posted link

https://techcrunch.com/2024/07/24/crowdstrike-offers-a-10-apology-gift-card-to-say-sorry-for-outage/

and after some reading couldn't exit it at all tapping both my back key and the back arrow on the top.

Due to how inconvenient the arrow on top is, I suggest to make it the exit button that closes the browser and returns user to Lemmy at once, while usual back buttons keep acting like they are now.

This is super annoying, as I try to pinch gesture zoom in on an image, and I'll go out of the media back to the list again instead.

I'd like to click to already zoom in somewhat, making punch zoom even easier

If I want to get out, I'll press the back button on my phone, or the back button of connect

There used to be rounded rectangles around each post, now there's nothing separating it from the following post. I tried changing the colors and it's still gone.

Full Width had a bar between them so I'll use that for now...but I kind of miss the Card view showing cards

Search is fine, but there have been several cases where I have wanted to manually enter a community name and instance.

Search can be odd at times and being able to have connect at least attempt to jump to a community would be a nice to have.

Edit: I can now post and view cat pics. Yay!

Searching for "cat" or "cats" yields cat@lemmy.world with Connect, but not from web. "cat" is an invalid community.

cats@lemmy.world should be correct community and listed in search results.

Can this be fixed to collapse just the subcomment?

Hey I've been using Connect for a while with the Amoled theme. Nothing makes me enjoy the app quite like a pure black background.

With the new release, the background of posts in the feed and comments in the post is not amoled black but dark theme black. The sidebar menu is also affected. This was incredibly jarring and I don't know how I can go on like this.

I appreciate the hard work and hope this is fixed soon, thanks

It has been fixed

Typing. !lemm

Or something should list suggestions like the web page does.

This has happened 3 times.

I load the app. I switch from my main account to this one. I wait a few seconds for it to load. I go to the bready community. It shows the all feed but it says bready at the top. I try to post, it's as if I'm posting from all, not bready, and asks me to pick a community. It doesn't do this with homebrewing or 3d printing.

Subject line pretty much covers it. Say I get a hateful comment reply from user xyz, so I block them. I go back to my profile, even after refreshing, to look at my other replies, and xyz is still visible there.

I should be able to be done with hateful people/comments.

I've got 3 profiles. I switch between them fairly often to see different kinds of content (this is the only one that can see this community, for example). I noticed that when I switch, there's a chunk of time where the app doesn't have any of my profiles' block lists applied. So if there's a person I have blocked from each profile, spamming something inappropriate, I will see their posts if I refresh during this window of time.

I don't know if there's an elegant solution to this. Maybe whenever profiles are changed, the app could first revert back to Top Six Hour sorting, to avoid super recent low-upvote posts?

That still leaves open the possibility of scrolling down to the spam, though. The app would need to apply the user's block list mid-scrolling to prevent it. Is that possible?
