I don't agree. Really nice improvement imo. But I get it, change is hard.

Fascinating, I really didn't think there were people who would consider that a nice change but ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

How? You liked having your personal chats in the servers section? This seems like a clear UI improvement across the board to me, much more intuitive.

[โ€“] zelut@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've always liked having personal chats in the servers section. The notifications were much more clear, as the chat would always pop up to the top, and navigating to them was significantly easier as every area for messaging was easily accessible through one motion.

The UI is generally better and separating personal chats isn't a deal breaker for me, but the new app is buggy in ways that actively impede my daily use, such as search filters not working over the full server in the default search bar, and the structure for dms makes it much harder to go seemlessly between talking in a server and talking with a group of friends in a dm or sending a message to someone. Swiping out of DMs to servers has much more friction, and switching between DMs takes significantly longer and is incredibly glitchy, sometimes trapping text boxes in a different chat, opening the conversation well above where you were actually talking, and many times it simply will get trapped in one dm and I need to restart the app fully to use DMs normally again.

I generally use significantly more DMs than servers, talking with my friends in groups of 3 or individually and having one or two servers for large communities of people. As such, the significantly shittier DM experience on mobile is making me want to use discord significantly less on mobile.

I do still look in the server section for my dms lmao

I like knowing where things are. I couldn't find dms after the update until some told me. I also keep trying to swipe left to see members but that has moved too. I feel like in general everything has become harder to find.

The app literally shows you what changed the first time you boot it up, idk how you guys have such a hard time.

[โ€“] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it only showed me there were 3 themes to choose from

[โ€“] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It didn't do the obligatory "here's what we changed" thing for you?

[โ€“] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

maybe it did I can't remember

[โ€“] bi_tux@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Just wish I could swap back

[โ€“] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
