If I tap-and-hold the image of an image post and tap “Share image,” it shares the image with a URL, which in Signal results in a message containing only the URL. If I use the share button instead of tap-and-hold+share, it shares the actual image. Why are the behaviors different? Why would sharing an image ever lead to anything happening other than just sharing the image?
This is Voyager, btw.
I’m completely happy with Boost
This. Ditched Reddit for good the day Boost finally stopped working. I’m so happy the dev made this Lemmy version.
IDK if it’s a Voyager on android issue or me being dumb or what, but sometimes I’ll hit the back icon thing on the bottom of my screen and it’ll back out twice to the screen where it shows all the communities I follow. That, and sometimes I have a hard time clicking on a post because my fat fingers will accidentally press the username by accident instead of he post title.
Exactly same issues here with Voyager. Other than that it’s a pretty solid client imho.
The other users!
Voyager user here, just some general bugginess. It’s not bad, but sometimes weird stuff happens, like when I minimize the app on my phone and then switch back, the main toolbar is misaligned.
Sync. It still works well for having been abandoned, but I can’t do things that would be trivial on PC, like reference server rules, identify moderators, and access modlogs. I have Voyager installed, but it’s so hard for me to set up another UI. I still get upset that menus aren’t like Windows 98 anymore.
Didn’t want to say anything and jinx it but Blorp has been working perfectly for me. I’ve recommended it to my friends who complain about their app/client constantly refreshing.
Thanks! Blorp is far from perfect. For example, private messaging can and will be improved when I get around to it. But I’m pretty proud of what I built so far!
Using connect. A new bug came in that I can’t save images anymore, makes the app hang, so I have to make screenshots
Went to the connect sub and multiple times got told that naaaahh, must be me
So I’m game for a new client! Which would you recommend.?
Try summit! I’ve tried Boost, Connect, Summit, Thunder and Voyager but only Summit checked all of those boxes:
- Feature complete (shows crossposts, community descriptions)
- Customizable enough (layout, post appearance, show upvotes and downvotes instead of sum)
- Aesthetical design (completely black theme, animations)
- Good user experience (gestures, automatic mark as read)
Only con I can think of right now is that the settings page is a bit cluttered and confusing.
Tried searching for “Summit Lemmy” on either play store and f-droid, and got nothing. Is the name correct?
That’s weird, can’t find it on F-Droid either but on Play it’s called: “Summit for Lemmy”. The icon is an orange pyramid with a blue tip.
That sounds great! I’ll give that a try right away
Sorry connect, I notified the devs multiple times about this and all I got was “it’s you, works for me”, so I’ll be leaving
ME TOO. .
It’s inconsistent for me but when it happens is lame
Love it otherwise have no other recommendations.
Voyager doesn’t show nicknames
I’m using the default web UI. My biggest annoyance is that it isn’t TUI. I would love a good lemmy app for the terminal, with vim keybinds, most interesting things on here are text anyways.
Sync
Need I say more?
I need to remember to clear Connect’s cache cause it just fills up everything
I use Raccoon.
It’s pretty good.
There’s a lot of complexity to the settings, and it’s not exactly intuitive to find which section does what, so there was a lot of trial and error getting it set up.
But now that I have it set up, it works for me perfectly. It’s not quite where Reddit is Fun was, but it’s close enough.
The one thing that I wish could be added would be some sort of like system where posts or entire communities could be labeled with a category and that you could block or follow those categories.
Technology, music, politics, memes, NSFW, like each and every single broad topic could be a category, and then the magazines would align themselves to that accordingly.
I, for one, get all of my political news from other sources. I do not need it from Lemmy, and so I would love it if I could block Lemme’s political sections in a fell swoop.
Even though I have blocked dozens of political magazines and politics bots and posters, and bammed several key words, I still get political memes that pop up and political discussions that pop up, and I wish I could just blanket ban all of them.
No real annoyances on either the desktop site or the mobile website tbh. I don’t even need a client for my phone because the mobile site is that good - which I wish I could say the same about for other social media apps/websites who’ve intentionally kneecapped their mobile web UI to force users onto their app. Glad Lemmy is fully accessible and usable in a smartphone’s web browser, I hope it stays that way.
A feature from RSS readers known as grouping, where instead of a wall of posts you could see an overview:
Mechanical Keyboards (5)
Lemmy (3)
Not Just Bikes (2)
Another Community (7)
Some Community (1)
…
…For each community you see the number of unreads. If you click on one of these entries, you get the posts of that community of course, ideally being able to set up a “read” marker that “I’ve read until this post here”.
One practical idea to not require API changes for this feature could be to use bookmarks as read indicators. It’s more in the “quick and dirty” realm of course…
Great idea
