Probably yeah. It'll eventually be an issue.
I just wanted to see if it self adjusted, but nope, it doesn't.
Yup.
Jerboa's broken now too.
Can't see the 3 dots button anymore in potrait mode.
Those are some nice changes!
The previous history being shown after editing a comment was particularly annoying. Glad you fixed that.
Oh and since it seems like you're working on the user experience side of things, I made a post here with some suggestions for you to consider regarding the app!
Oi you parent comment lads, keep this train going will ya? It's for science and stuff.
Probably yeah.
I already raised a UX improvement request with the developer of Connect.
If something similar happens with Jerboa then that can be brought to their notice too.
This is a good experiment.

Hopefully the dev notices.
I ran into a few problems that I have listed below. None of them really break the viewing experience, but if you have the time, please look into these! I'm sure these will be some nice fixes to have for everyone.
- Long comment chains leave very little space for text. Comment color indicators start taking up most of the space! See: https://lemmy.world/post/935243
Something like how Relay for Reddit handles this would be nice. It has a 'continue comment chain' option for longer comment chains (like after a certain depth of comments, I think 10), and when you click on the button, it opens the next comment as a new top level comment, which resets the viewing depth.
- Clicking on a comment from our profile page opens the whole comment thread from the very top; it'd be nice if it only showed our comment (with options to show full post or context, like how Jerboa does it).
Edit:
-
Deleted comments still show up (they are marked as deleted however). They don't on other apps. Not sure if it's by design or not, but I thought I'd bring it up.
-
Noticed that the new hotfix lazy loads the comments. Would it be possible to have a 'show more' button instead of auto load? (or atleast a loading indicator) On slow instances (like lemmy.world right now), sometimes the lazy loading gets stuck, and there's no way to know whether the end of the chain is the actual end or if the loading of the remaining comments failed.
-
When making a post (from places like the frontpage / All page etc), could there be an option to choose the community from the ones we're subscribed to, instead of typing the name and waiting for the options to pop up? Imo, most posts are made to subscribed communities, so getting the names quicker will result in better flow.
-
Support some of the popular instances in 'open by default' for Android.
Depth - 41.
Jerboa's still solid (although it is nearing its limit).
Connect only displays rainbow lines now, oof.
I wish someone replicated how Relay did it. After like 10-20 comments, it made the next comment a top level one when we clicked on 'show more'. This meant that the depth never went below 10-20 for anything and nothing got squished up.
Jerboa still displaying everything properly (for now).
Connect's all squished up.
Let's do moar! For science.
I don't think lemmy does video yet. Only text and images.
So yeah almost all of the videos you see would be external links.
