Also, you should add a "paid key" that we can download from the play store so we can pay for it and support you. I make some money from Google rewards and I don't mind donating them to something I'm using. Just a suggestion.

Could make an IAP be a donation option so a "paid key" is unneccesary
If that can connect to my Google wallet/rewards money, then hell yeah, I'd love to donate every now and then. I appreciate the work put into these apps. I'm actually going to ask other apps devs I use to do the same
I've got Rewards money that expires in about a week. I'd love to be able to use money tied up in Google Play to make a donation. I don't know what else to use it on.
Simple Mobile does that. There's a separate "thank you" app you can buy just to throw a few bucks their way.
Yup, that's exactly what I meant. I have one for an app called YMusic that I actually purchased. There is an app that has an actual "donate to me" button that always connects to my Google wallet.
Upvote colour can now be customized.
Woohoo! This looks so good now, thank you Kuro!
I'm amazed how light weight this app is. The quality is here, it's basic and it doesn't take huge space.
A well done app!
I was thinking about being able to comment with one of the other logged account.
While browsing with one of my multiple accounts, I comment and can choose to post with another one.
I don't know how this is possible and if I was clear.
I think you could do that with Boost for Reddit, but I can't go check because fuck reddit for breaking my favorite app. Anyway, based on that it may be possible but also Lemmy works entirely differently so... Maybe
I think Sync had it too. It pretty useful to scroll with one account and pick one of the 10 alts to comment.
Feature request: Hide annoying emoji display names (show usernames)
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but 'show instance tags in names' will show the real usernames and not display names.
But still shows the display name (if a user has one) before the instance tag though. What OP meant I guess was just showing the original username (even the user has set a display name)
Thanks, it works! The setting is a bit confusing though, I didn't understand what the setting does until you explained it.
I feel personally attacked. 😂
Thanks for all your hard work! Can't believe how great Connect is in such a short period of time.
Whenever you have time, could you implement saving your place in the comments when coming back to a post. Sometimes I exit a post by accident and when I go back in its takes me all the way to the top.
+1 for that feature.
Thank you devs for doing all the hardworks for this project<3
My vote for next changes would be to have granular theme customizations (choosing specific color to apply to specific screen elements), AND the ability to export / import themes and settings. Tablet UI features would also be nice (e.g., landscape mode for posts | comments in side-by-side panels).
Connect is a great app, support this dev!
Awesome app. Reminds me most of baconreader
Not sure where to raise this but I'm getting a bug where posts will toggle between read and unread when opening comments from list mode
I'd like to see a way to scroll to the top on a single button press. If there's one then I'm blind lol
You can do it by scrolling up just enough to get the top bar, then in the three-dot menu, hit refresh. Obviously it refreshes, but it also brings you to the top.
I would like it if the refresh button wasn't in a submenu.
Not related but I would also like to see the topic in the top bar... When browsing comments i sometimes forget what the topic was (especially when i put my phone down for a bit.
Is there a way to edit your profile from within Connect? Like updating display name and bio, or uploading a new avatar or banner? I feel like there's been a handful of things I didn''t think Connect could do, but found out later that I was just overlooking it or didn't recognize it in the settings.
Another random question - the area in the pop out panel on the left where your username/avatar is displayed at the top (it's blue for me). Should that be showing my user banner? If not, can that be a thing?
Looks great, thanks for the hard work!
Additional theming would be nice. Personally, I would like the option to move the upvote/downvote arrows and points count to the left of the post in list mode.
Thank you for all your hard work!
Auto collapse comments would be cool
Thanks for the update. Yay the page numbers are not showing.
Option to make comment icon do same as comment number would be great.
Hide Above is a pretty sick idea, and solves a problem I didn't realize I've been encountering for years on Reddit clients. I hate scrolling up to hide stuff I just saw.
Allowing us to customize the comments more would be nice. Like I don't want the top level comment to collapse when clicked, just its replies. Also it would be nice if the left padding on the comments was reducible and the colour bar could be made thicker.
Maybe I have not figured it out, but can I not have it show only feeds from my subscribed communities? Basically I can select all and see everything or local and it is just my instance. I want to see a random selection just from the communities I subscribe to based on top best, day, month etc.
Also maybe a ignore list. Ie. I put cat in said list in Reddit and very few cat videos came thru.
That's what the "Frontpage" is
Ah I thought that was kind of a Lemmy front page of all posts. Rather dumb of me.
Thanks. Now I don't have to filter out memes all day.
I'm glad to see the toast notification added to undo hidden posts and it would be nice if the option was extended to the Hide Above feature as well. I accidentally tapped it and a bunch of posts were hidden as a result.
Any way we can add the lemiverse.net search function into the app? I know how to find communities, but idk if there's a way to search for instants? I've also posted about it: https://lemmy.world/post/2737749 but I think posting here would also get more traction (also, I can't be the only one haha).
Issue I'm having is Connect not being able to render tables.
Hi, this should now be fixed on beta 129 (or if not on beta I'm hoping to release tomorrow).

Strangely, this update cuts down the last letter of startrek.website's instance domain name, leaving it like "startrek.websit" and making the instance and its communities unreachable.
this is the only example I've found where it does this, pretty weird.
Hi, thanks for the feedback and I'm pushing a hotfix for this issue now.
Edit: hotfix is live, 1.0.131. Thank you for raising the issue!
❤️
It's so weird that Google Play store is not showing me the update when I checked. I had to get it from the link you provided.
I have a couple nitpicks.
-
left/right handed is under Comment Customization, but doesn't affect comments or the comment bar at all
-
When you do not have the comment button for your two button options on a post, there is no way to leave a comment top level, so you are forced to have one of your buttons be the comment button. Maybe you should add it to the three dot menu if it isn't selected
-
if you try to comment on the
Post Customizationexample post it comments on some random post. I wanted to comment on the kuro post :(
A few feature ideas if you done mins considering:
-
A 10s pop up after a post is hidden to unhide it
-
A way to see all hidden posts to find something later if needed
-
Button to hide all posts that are above the post currently on screen
These were all killer features in sync for Reddit, not sure if the Lenny version has it but it's very useful. Thanks!
