    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.

      This. Ditched Reddit for good the day Boost finally stopped working. I’m so happy the dev made this Lemmy version.

      Yes yes, using the share button is also annoying because then you have two Jerboa windows open.

      Scrolling on jebora one handed is janky. It’s too quick to interpret a slightly angular vertical movement as a horizontal movement.

      For me it’s double tap on images. The zoom is way too much.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Voyager

    There is a spot at the top of my screen that if I tap it it scrolls back to the top and I loose my position.

    There is no reason for this to exist. There is no icon or indication for it.

    I use blurp for lemmygrad and Voyager for Lemmy.ml, my main. My favorite is interstellar but it’s new and buggy. You can use Lemmy redirect with Voyager as well.

    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.

    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.?

    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…
