I’m on a train in the uk. To make things even worse, they’re handing out DfT survey QR codes. I decided to pass the time by filling it in. It’s by ‘Savanta Research’ and they’ve clearly never travelled by train. If you don’t get all the way to the end of a 15+ step form without submitting, you lose everything when you go through a tunnel and momentarily lose connectivity. It couldn’t be designed to be worse for filling in on the go.

Apropos of another post that’s had a couple of comments, I can’t see a way to make opening them from Inbox automatically mark as ‘read’. Is that a setting?

Had a few accidental ‘swipe right’ moments while browsing posts, and once back on the Feeds view I can’t see any way to get back to ‘where you were’. Swipe from right hand edge doesn’t seem to do anything and of course just selecting the feed (eg All) refreshes the list and so what I was reading is gone… Did I miss an option or setting for this?

Not sure I can explain this well, but I just saw a reply to a comment of mine in the inbox. When I click on it, it shows the reply to my comment, but if I scroll up, my comment is shown as a reply to a totally different comment to the one I originally replied to.

If I click to ‘view all’ button in the inbox, I can find my comment, and the reply that was in my inbox, and they’re all ‘threaded’ correctly.

Let me know if I can provide links / screenshots to try to share what’s happening.

Edit: when viewing the thread from the inbox, I also see lots of ‘More replies…’ buttons that don’t do anything.

Not sure what happened here, but when I went to edit my comment in that other post, it opened like this and (a) only showed the first line, and (b) wouldn’t let me tap in to edit. Locking and unlocking the phone got the full comment back and I was able to edit, but still tapping to move the caret was broken.

Hope that makes sense :)

First of all, I’m loving the new clean experience with images. But it has thrown up an issue with videos in that the overlays are actually quite important there (play, pause, mute, scrub, etc). So, could those be separate settings for different kinds of media?

One other thing I miss from Apollo days is ’drag to scrub’. If that were possible on Mlem, it would be fantastic.

Another fabulous bit of UX by google.

I have, quite literally, seen this post 9 times now. Is there a way to automatically hide the remaining 8 once I’ve marked one of them as ‘read’? I have ‘mark read on scroll’ set, so it would need to be something dynamic rather than on refresh, and I know that can cause scroll position issues. But tbh I’d like to learn to live with that rather than see the same stuff constantly.

Just noticed a weird rendering issue when switching apps. Viewing a comment with a code block looks fine, until switching away and then back to Mlem. Heres what it ends up looking like.

Really liking the new image settings such as not showing the controls by default. But they kept appearing for me and I couldn’t work out why until just now.

Open an image, zoom in, then pan a small amount. Looks like a small drag is interpreted as a tap, and the controls alternately show / hide.

I’d happily turn the overlay off completely if that was an option; I can’t remember the last time I actually needed them—the close icon isn’t needed with the swipe to dismiss, and you can easily get to save / share by long press after closing. Since I use those so rarely, that would be better UX for me.
