I just saw the dev comment on another thread somewhere saying they had been busy but we're working on an update that will come out soon.
I'm still using it even with ads, so I'm glad they're still alive. Idk why, though. What features do we even lack?
I think spoilers are still not working. (Please do not interpret "still" as impatience).
spoiler
Test this spoilerEdit: yup, still not working.
Spoilers coming for the next beta
Ah you're right! I forgot about that one.
Oh man I forgot about the switching accounts while commenting thing. That's been so annoying to go all the way back out and then try to find where you were.
But spoilers are the biggest one for me, that's experience breaking right there.
Glad to see they're still alive and developing,I was worried.
Post/comment swipe gesture actions would be nice. Lets you hide a bunch of buttons per default which cleans up the UI.
I hate it doesn't have algorithms to recommend some new subreddit or whatever it's called here and that it doesn't show more the subreddits that I visit most often, I'm tired of seeing so many r/worldnews or wtv, I want to see less posts of it and because it was being annoying, I ended up unsubscribing. I go to reddit more often because of this
Edit: clarification
You can filter communities yourself by blocking them. Or subscribe to communities and curate your own feed, just like you can do on Reddit.
I have a list of casual communities here https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 you can use as a starting point. Curating your own feed is the best way to browse Lemmy imo, but if that's too much, don't be afraid to block away.
I don't want to block away, I just want for it to show less, on reddit I don't need to do anything, it does everything for me
Then subscribe to communities and curate your own feed. Reddits r/all feed has always been unbearable for me
How the hell do I do that?
Are you asking how to browse your own subscribed feed or how to subscribe to communities, because on either case it's the same as it is on the Reddit app?
All I need is goddamn algorithms to personalize my feed and no option in the app can make less posts from a certain community show less (NOT BLOCKING) and show more of others
That looks like something for the backend, and not something I'd expect a client to do. If you're not interested in a community you could consider blocking it. There's also some room for experimentation with the various storting methods.
Yeah I don't understand that part, I'm not really into software engineering, more like "classic" computer science
What do you mean "based on what you watched"?
Do you mean
a. Posts you already read show up again? (There is an option to hide read posts)
b. You want entire communities not to show up? (That is why you should subscribe to those you want and use the "subscribed" feed or, if you want to use the "all" feed, simply block the communities you dont want to see)
I mean showing more posts from the communities that I see frequently, all I want is more equilibrium, it can show up posts from r/worldnews and r/sciencememes but not too much and showing more posts from other communities that I am subscribed not just a few. Until then I will use reddit more often
So essentially a new sorting option, different from hot/active/scaled... which sorting do you currently use?
Hot subscribed, I literally just want what reddit has in this regard
You should be able to sort your subscribed feed by hot, scaled etc already. That is implemented. Click on the symbol with the multiple lines in the top bar.
Yes, I know that, not sure how that helps seeing less posts and more posts of some subreddits
I get what you mean now. That's a request that should be made to the lemmy devs, not the apps btw.
Thanks
I'm not sure if any of em have that (yet). Would be nice to see a page out of BlueSky for playlists people can share, because I do know you can at least kind of control your feed (although I like the consistency of All here vs Reddit, but I'm engaged in news)
