Unsure if this is an existing feature request, but I beg you to add compact mode. I don't want to see the entire content of a post until I tap on it. Especially not with images that take up the entire vertical height of the viewport.

Otherwise, I think the app is coming along very nicely and it has quite an Apollo feel to it! Bravo!

Lmao I was just looking for the option and I saw this post

[–] Pendor@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

Same here. +1 for this feature

I'm a mobile developer myself but I'm a little busy at the moment. I might look into it when I have some free time though

[–] NuraSideNotes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I was looking for this, and the ability to hide read posts! Sh.itjust.works has a massive sticky on the instance for new users (which was very helpful when I stumbled my way in from Reddit) but it is stickied to the top of my feed any way I sort, and is annoying.

+1 for compact mode +1 for hiding read posts

This is definitely on the roadmap, follow this issue to see the progress: https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/14

Thanks ❤️ 🫡

Hiya! I'm one of the contributing devs, currently working on that exact feature (along with a bunch of other enhancements to the post view). It should hit the beta pretty soon.

Just came to this comm to check on this feature, glad to hear it! And thanks for working on this app, it looks great so far. Do you have a tip jar somewhere so I can support the app?

[–] Schedar 1 points 2 years ago

That’s awesome news. Really looking forward to it. Thank you & the team for all the work on this

I prefer compact mode myself and would love to see it in the Mlem app. I'll be sure to present the idea to the team. Additionally, I'll discuss limiting posts' text (in standard view) in the Feed view to a certain number of lines to avoid those massive posts taking up so much space in your feed.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Also, feel free to come to the Mlem App space on Matrix to discuss the app, make suggestions and feature requests, and to keep up on the latest developments with the app!

Bug: I’m reading this on Mlem and tried to click the embedded hyperlink, but it just minimized the comment.

The (non embedded) GitHub link in another comment opened the in app browser just fine though.

[–] jw@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

OOI are you using Mlem for kbin?

[–] NoxiousPluK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I agree, this would help a lot. Currently my frontpage consists of a super long pinned post that isn't even from my own instance, and it takes me about 5-10 screens of swiping to get past it.

[–] mrcleansocks 4 points 2 years ago

Same experience here. Definitely feels high priority based on my experience so far.

[–] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Yes. And thumbnails should always be on the right(if there’s no option). If they’re on the left they make text margins inconsistent, and harder to read.

[–] muddybulldog@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Literally, first thing I thought when I opened the app was, "ugh, no compact mode". Glad to see this on the roadmap.

[–] pinkpatrol@anarch.is 3 points 2 years ago

This was the first thing I noticed when I downloaded it today. (Actually, second: I appreciated out the username/password worked with my password manager)

[–] Cralex@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

This’ll help a lot! I come from the lemmy.one instance, which serves as a beginner-friendly entry point/hub to Lemmy that doesn’t have communities of its own, really. But I had to unsubscribe to the few communities that are native to it because of big, long stickies that I don’t need to see anymore.

[–] Schedar 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I think this is the main thing that’s stopping me using the app as my primary way of interacting with Lemmy.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This should be number 1 priority. I'm on Lemmy.world and it is unusable with the stupid side wide pinned post (which I hate passionately) taking up the entire front page.

[–] yourgodlucifer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kbin has a compact mode
