I’m doing a refactor of images in general. Right now the library I use for the image modal is :| so I’m forking that and reworking it. I’ll add what you’re asking for with the photos too.
As for smaller, I’m fine with doing something to make that happen (maybe as three different settings then, one for large mode, one for “normal” and one for “compact”). What would you want to see in compact that is different/smaller? Cheers!
I just searched for a topic, found a community, sorted by new, swiped to upvote a post, and then swiped to reply. It was genuinely the first Lemmy interaction I’ve had (including native web) that felt completely intuitive.
Amazing to think how far things have already come since the first few TestFlight releases!
