Pics and captions in comment (lemmy.ml)

Hi folks,

First, thank you for giving us Avelon. I (almost) only use it to browse Lemmy and it’s, in my opinion, the best app available on iOS.

So, I know it’s not possible yet to submit new post (I’m using Voyager to post this one) and add pic/text formatting on comments yet. But I also noticed two different behaviours between Avelon and Voyager when it comes to display comments with pic. Here is the same comment displayed on Avelon and Voyager :

Voyager

Avelon

(Custom caption is "Why are you booing me", to replace the link)

Voyager only displays my custom caption without showing the pic. Avelon does the opposite, it displays the pic without its custom caption/link.

To me, the best way to do it would be to show the link/custom caption and the pic in the comment. I believe Avelon’s way isn’t quite relevant atm as we just can’t see if there’s a custom caption. What do you think ?

Sorry if it has already be pointed out !

Here’s another example on why it’s important to see caption :

Hi, sorry for the late reply. This is a good point, not something I've considered.

I'm thinking keeping the text and adding the image below the paragraph might be the best way to solve this, since inline images are either very small or break up the text. Either that or just add a link preview to the image below. Hmmmm

I agree, keeping both would be great
