Hello all, we're trialling out a new front end for Lemmy.zip, which promises to give a cleaner mobile experience than voyager. The software is quite new, and so for now we'll be trialling this at:
I like it! It has Reddit sync vibes, which I'm a fan of.
Only criticisms I have from using it for a few minutes on mobile are:
Clicking in a post to view comments then backing out to the news feed put me in some random spot in the feed. Previously "seen" posts were all gone. I have hide read posts on, but my expected behavior would be for the news feed not to refresh till I manually refresh.
Would be cool if the cards were full screen width instead of having whitespace around the edges of the screen.
I'm going to send this thread to the dev for them to have a look at, so feedback like this is incredibly helpful, thank you!
I have seen a comment they made about the current setup not knowing where it is when it backs onto the main feed, hence why there isn't infinite scroll, so I assume it could be related to that.
Not 100%, but there's already a semi-public limited alpha release (already full) and I believe the only thing standing in the way of a full publicly available download is just Google's approval. Hopefully, we should have it within a few days
sending from an alt since my home instance hasn't federated this yet
This is an issue with Sveltekit 's client router. When you press back, instead of having the browser handle it (which will likely use back cache to instantly return), it loads the post feed again, which means the posts in there might have changed since. Especially if you're browsing New.
