What are your biggest annoyances with the Lemmy client you use?

If I tap-and-hold the image of an image post and tap “Share image,” it shares the image with a URL, which in Signal results in a message containing only the URL. If I use the share button instead of tap-and-hold+share, it shares the actual image. Why are the behaviors different? Why would sharing an image ever lead to anything happening other than just sharing the image?

This is Voyager, btw.

I'm completely happy with Boost

This. Ditched Reddit for good the day Boost finally stopped working. I'm so happy the dev made this Lemmy version.

IDK if it's a Voyager on android issue or me being dumb or what, but sometimes I'll hit the back icon thing on the bottom of my screen and it'll back out twice to the screen where it shows all the communities I follow. That, and sometimes I have a hard time clicking on a post because my fat fingers will accidentally press the username by accident instead of he post title.

Exactly same issues here with Voyager. Other than that it's a pretty solid client imho.

The other users!

Voyager user here, just some general bugginess. It's not bad, but sometimes weird stuff happens, like when I minimize the app on my phone and then switch back, the main toolbar is misaligned.

Sync. It still works well for having been abandoned, but I can't do things that would be trivial on PC, like reference server rules, identify moderators, and access modlogs. I have Voyager installed, but it's so hard for me to set up another UI. I still get upset that menus aren't like Windows 98 anymore.

Didn’t want to say anything and jinx it but Blorp has been working perfectly for me. I’ve recommended it to my friends who complain about their app/client constantly refreshing.

Thanks! Blorp is far from perfect. For example, private messaging can and will be improved when I get around to it. But I’m pretty proud of what I built so far!

Voyager doesn’t show nicknames

Voyager

There is a spot at the top of my screen that if I tap it it scrolls back to the top and I loose my position.

There is no reason for this to exist. There is no icon or indication for it.

You can tap again to undo, apollo had the feature too
- Oooooooohhhhh
This is iOS functionality

I'm using the default web UI. My biggest annoyance is that it isn't TUI. I would love a good lemmy app for the terminal, with vim keybinds, most interesting things on here are text anyways.

Sync

Need I say more?

I use blurp for lemmygrad and Voyager for Lemmy.ml, my main. My favorite is interstellar but it's new and buggy. You can use Lemmy redirect with Voyager as well.

The color schemes of default piefed do not have a very pretty and low power OLED option.

I want the ability to turn off downvote visibility where I can view it with a toggle but not by default. I would make more posts that drive engagement without that negativity.

It would be nice if we had a small semantics model running on the server that could assess the negativity and value of comments with an optional filter for comment visibility. There are relatively few squeaky wheel type users and (likely) bots but they have a disproportionate impact on everyone. Basically, I am saying, a genuine, real person should have an option for a beehaw administered and moderated experience through basic toggles and automaton. Like I want the negative feedback on some things, but there are posts where I know there will be a fraction of toxic people with authoritarian views and I simply do not care what fascists have to say. Or make a simple filter that looks at a voter's statistics overall and drops votes from view when the person is a major outlier for negativity. This is only about enabling good people to post real stuff and be more open. I can only speak from experience, and my history of posts on this and my other main account show that I would post a whole lot more if it were not for the few toxic people and interactions.

Summit.

Since the recent inbox revamp the red notification number icon on the inbox is slow to disappear, sometimes requiring multiple refreshes even after clicking Mark Read or replying to my last unread comment.

I wish the push notifications were faster. I still have Boost and Sync installed on my device and I get push notifications from them much faster than from Summit.

I use Alexandrite on desktop & Thunder on Android

No gallery / masonry layout

Eternity has it.

arctic. i think it's been abandoned sadly

Not currently being updated
Caret disappears in some fields in pure black mode
Minor UI (inconsistencie|misalignment)s

I use Raccoon.

It's pretty good.

There's a lot of complexity to the settings, and it's not exactly intuitive to find which section does what, so there was a lot of trial and error getting it set up.

But now that I have it set up, it works for me perfectly. It's not quite where Reddit is Fun was, but it's close enough.

The one thing that I wish could be added would be some sort of like system where posts or entire communities could be labeled with a category and that you could block or follow those categories.

Technology, music, politics, memes, NSFW, like each and every single broad topic could be a category, and then the magazines would align themselves to that accordingly.

I, for one, get all of my political news from other sources. I do not need it from Lemmy, and so I would love it if I could block Lemme's political sections in a fell swoop.

Even though I have blocked dozens of political magazines and politics bots and posters, and bammed several key words, I still get political memes that pop up and political discussions that pop up, and I wish I could just blanket ban all of them.

No real annoyances on either the desktop site or the mobile website tbh. I don't even need a client for my phone because the mobile site is that good - which I wish I could say the same about for other social media apps/websites who've intentionally kneecapped their mobile web UI to force users onto their app. Glad Lemmy is fully accessible and usable in a smartphone's web browser, I hope it stays that way.

I need to remember to clear Connect's cache cause it just fills up everything

Connect. It solves the issue with Sync where clicking "Back" resets my feed, but after a bit of scrolling my followed communities, sorted by recent, it just stops loading. So I ended up going back to Sync.

cant block porn on my popular page when people dont add tags.

A feature from RSS readers known as grouping, where instead of a wall of posts you could see an overview:

Mechanical Keyboards (5)
Lemmy (3)
Not Just Bikes (2)
Another Community (7)
Some Community (1)
...
...

For each community you see the number of unreads. If you click on one of these entries, you get the posts of that community of course, ideally being able to set up a "read" marker that "I've read until this post here".

One practical idea to not require API changes for this feature could be to use bookmarks as read indicators. It's more in the "quick and dirty" realm of course..

Great idea
