Wow this is a HUGE update. Amazing work!

Wanted to point out a few more things I've noticed

• I've noticed that some settings don't persist after Connect is updated. I'm not sure if that's because the settings pane changes with new options hence it can't be persisted but just something I noticed
• It would be nice to have a drafts section for comments and posts such that you can temporarily save it and come back to editing it and finishing it up.
• It would be awesome to see a preview of either the post or comment that you are replying to with the username there as we so you have reference as to what you are replying to.
• When you tap to bring up the menu to interact with comments, maybe a setting to squish the icons to either the right or left would be nice to have for those who are browsing with one hand
• It would also be nice to have an indicator of how many Unread messages you have in your inbox beside the word Inbox in the menu and possibly even on the hamburger menu itself to alert you to look into the menu
• In the About Instance page, I've noticed that the total subscribers count doesn't show, but it does in the About Community page.
• When you tap on the About Instance menu, it takes you to a new window context as expected to show you the necessary details and when you navigate back, it takes you back to where you were as expected. However, in the About Community page, it seems to be more of an overlay in the same context such that if you do navigate back, it takes you completely out of the post that you were viewing when you had clicked About Community.
• In the About Instance and About Community pages, would be nice to have an Open context menu to open it up externally on a web browser as well. I think it's only there in About Community at the moment.
• Would you be able to allow to search for Communities that may not exist in the Instance search using the full address (!lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca) like we can on the Lemmy web app

Excellent update as always!

A couple of bugs I've noticed.

• The new fixed thumbnail height toggle doesn't actually seem to work for fullwidth despite it saying so
• The area for me to tap to see the comments menu or hold to hide and unhide the comments seems to be only on areas where there is text and not the whole section. This makes it hard to interact with comments that are very short on text.
• There don't seem to be clear card like dividers in card view mode between posts when using the AMOLED dark mode

What does that mean exactly? ELI5 please? :)

I'm not sure if this is already on your list of things to do, but I've noticed the Inbox and Profile page (with all your posts) do not adhere to the posts and border styles that are set in settings.

It looks like the older interface and doesn't have the sub-comment side colour borders either.

The new icon doesn't seem to be adhering to the icon borders of the system on my Samsung phone.

Is anyone going to be left at this rate?

Absolutely love how you listen to so much of our feedback. This app is truly built for the people haha.

Are you planning to open source it at all?

Also, I've noticed that the about community and instance pages either don't show the user metrics or just show some of the user metrics and not all of them anymore since this update. Not sure if it's a bug or intentional.

Love the new community options that are present!

A few things I'd like to add as feedback if that's ok!

• The community drawer has the 3 dot menu beside each community and I think that would be a great spot to have the "About Community" option show up in addition of where it is now (by having to go into the community from the drawer and then using the menu from the top right)
• There should also be a way to view the entire instance about page as well (such as lemmy.ca) with all the necessary info and user counts and such!
• When replying to a post directly, it should show the original post on the top for reference. Similarly to how it shows the original comment when you're replying to a comment
• On the same note of replying, when replying to a post or comment in general, it would be nice to see the username of the original poster/comment in the event you need to refer to them
• When theres a new item in your inbox, it should show somehow (possibly an indicator on the main hamburger menu and also beside the Inbox menu item in the drawer).
• I've noticed that sometimes as you're browsing around, the animation of opening posts either breaks or becomes much faster than normal. I have no idea how to consistently reproduce it but it happens adhoc. Not a big issue but just so you're aware in case you notice it yourself and are able to find a fix.

Love the app!

If only Linux had an official Xbox and Game Pass app so that I could play my Xbox games on it natively without having to stream it from a webpage :(

I don't mind holding to collapse a comment, but I'd like a collapsing animation included to make it more in line with the other animations in the app.

Loving the pace of the updates! Amazing update.

I like the full width option that was introduced, but one thing I would add to that is to still round the edges similar to the cards. It then makes it a whole lot easier to know when one post ends and another one begins!

The Web app is really good! The only issue I have with it since it got updated to 0.18 is that when you click a post link and press back to go to your community, it reloads the entire community and takes your scroll position all the way to the top. It's really killed the experience on mobile for me and it didn't do that prior to 0.18 I found.

Anyone else having the same issue?
