But sad that so far all Lemmy app developers didn’t do this as their first and prioritised gesture, IMO it’s by far the most important for a nice browsing experience.
Thanks for your input. Can someone confirm that this is the case? I find it hard to believe that only ‘back’ would be blocked by this but any other function works when swiping from anywhere but the edge. But you may be absolutely right. :)
Sadly no. And we’re not gonna see an alternative any time soon. Noone has the server capacity (or 18 years of community building). The only ones who could maybe build something to match their servers would be other similarly shitty companies anyway. Like Microsoft, Amazon or Facebook.
Well, there is original ska (1950-1960s Jamaican ska) which is fantastic, groovy, soulful and it changed music forever. And then there is “modern” (appropriated) ska which is … just cringe and headache.
Pineapple on pizza is amazing.
Appropriated ska is like egg, strawberries, liquorice and corn mixed in a bowl and put on pizza dough.
No offence to the creators of A and C but they both completely lack the right spacing, centering, decent line widths etc to suit an app icon. They both look broken.
So … B. By far.
But I almost like the current icon more because it is so colourful, it just needs a modified lemming.
I’m trying the new swipe now and I love it! As you wrote in the release notes a full screen swipe is planned and that would be even better.
Another usability wish from me is being able to increase the text size even more. I use a small screen (iphone mini) and even at the largest font it is too small in some conditions (for my bad eyes…)
Also maybe being able to disable the bottom icon texts? With a larger font they already cover two rows and unnecessarily remove more screen space.
While you were writing I just made an edit to my comment, yep I meant everywhere, post or comment section. An idea is to have options in the settings for “everywhere right swipe = back” and if that is on then an option for left swipe: comment OR up/downvote. Thank you for even considering this, this got my hopes up! 😊
Also the tab bar idea is cool, I just can’t imagine the feeling of it yet. And hope it doesn’t interfere with iOSs swipe bar for app switching.
The last update has been amazing so far! LOVE it, keep it up ❤️ Since we’re on the topic of swiping, I wish Memmy had the possibility to go back by swiping right from anywhere on the screen, not just from the edge. This is an incredibly smooth and nice way to browse and I really miss it from Apollo (actually even the official Reddit app has it). Once I got used to that everything else feels so clunky. Maybe you can consider it at least as an option. 🙏
Edit: to clarify it could be possible to for example move the up/downvote to the left swipe and leave out the comment button for the long press menu.
I’m happy for you and it’s obvious that many people like these games but for me (and I know many others who agree) the Yakuza games are awful. I could never get into the “humour”, the gameplay, the slow cut scenes, the stereotypical characters, the way people interact. Felt exactly the same with Persona. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. It all felt comparable to a very VERY low budget movie.
It is the strength and the weakness of it all.
On Mastodon I did exactly this. A month later the small server closed and I had to start over from scratch.
