Hello, I have to say memmy is far superior to the official interface. Brilliant thanks for making it.
Maybe I would suggest getting rid of the 3 button layout and reducing it to 2 if possible. Right top seems way too full. 
Especially the 3 dots show only 1 option. So the last 2 can be imho merged.
We will continue to experiment with it 👍
Looking forward to variations
Agree. It is annoying when you want to block a community to click that often. Why are the three points not directly the blocking option if it is the only option? Why do I travel all the way up there and then have to travel all the way down to actually click "block". It is always something where I have to roll from my side to my back and do it with two hand.
Well we eventually will have other options there so that’s why it’s there. Slightly easier to just put it in a menu there from the start than change it later
Fair enough, but the blocking of communities should not take me so many clicks. I loved RES at Reddit for the ability to hover over a sub-name and block it this way. In Narwhale it was a long press/hold on the post to open a menu to block a subreddit. At Memmy, I currently have to click the Community Name to go to the community (and loading the full first set of entries), then click on the top right and then click on the bottom to block. It is almost a dark pattern to stop people from blocking communities.
I looked in my Settings. Currently I have 200+ /c blocked. And 80% of those I blocked are via Memmy. I had to make this 3-click-journey a lot for that and can say that the the top right icon not always opened on the first tap. Sometimes, when I lay on my side I try to open it with the finger coming from behind the screen, reaching over the top of my phone and try it multiple times before I give up, roll over and have to use two hand to finish the blocking.
Memmy has been in development for 1 month at best with most of the work done by gk and myself (mostly gk). I’m working in my free time after my full time job. So you’ll have to be patient and understand that things are being worked on. It’s not going to be as well developed as narwhal or Apollo since they were under development for many years and for profit (i assume narwhal was, i never used it). We are doing this entirely for free.
Dude, you are my superheros. Please do not take it the wrong way. You created the best app currently for lemmy in such a short time that I have nothing but praise for you and your team. At no point do I want you to think I am anything other than thankfull and grateful for what you did. My input - if at all - could be ignored up until 2025 and I still would not trashtalk Memmy. It is THE best Lemmy App currently for iOS. Full Stop. <3
Appreciate it, sorry for the short response. We sometimes just get frustrated with comparisons to other apps and I personally can get defensive about it even if it’s not intended in a bad way at all lol. Trust me we definitely want to do things like more long presses in places, improve the flow of certain actions, etc.
I’ve posted a suggestion in this community too. It was absolutely not a complaint. I’m making suggestions here because after trying several options, I’ve picked which app I want to use to interact with Lemmy. This is hands down the best one. This means that the full firehose of love gets turned your way. All my (app-related) hopes and dreams are wrapped up in Memmy, so I want to help make it as awesome as possible.
All your work is very appreciated!
Exactly
IMO the compact/cozy view button is unnecessary. That is something that belongs in the settings as once I set my feed to how I like it I’m not gonna change it often so it feels unnecessary to have it in a prominent place in the app
+1 compact/cozy is a setting, not a quick setting.
I disagree. I use it all the time, whenever I switch from text heavy to image heavy community, or vice versa.
FWIW I hard disagree. The buttons don't bother me at all and I have no problems interacting with them.
I agree that the three buttons don’t make a huge difference, but I also don’t think users will swap between compact and card view often enough to warrant a permanent fixture on the top of the screen.
I personally would place it in settings under Appearance.
I also don't disagree with that!
Same Apollo interface compared better here.
Why not spread them to left and right (next to the back button)
It really should be put inside the settings section
My feedback is that it would be great if these buttons were spread out some - I sometimes have trouble selecting them with my sausage fingers.
Thanks for such a great application!
