I just downloaded the app. I love the feel, look & everything so far!

I'm such a baby at this, so please excuse my ignorance. But I can't seem to like comments under posts. Am I just missing something?

Also I don't know where to find my comments that I've made. Again, am I just so dumb I can't find it? How do I see My posts & comments & how do I like other ppl's comments? Please & thank you.

Sorry, I didn't know where else to ask this. 🥺 I love this app so much rn.

The app feels amazing! One thing that I personally want is the possibility to share images, gif or videos as they are, not only as a link to the post..

Other than that, I'm switching from connect!

I love the app. Like a lot. Only thing missing for me so far. Text/UI zoom. Everything is too small for my old eyes. Lol

For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don't have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):

How does the icon look like to you? Has it improved from last time?
How is Material You? Does it work as expected?
Did the name of the app change to Thunder instead of thunder (capital case vs lower case)?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Icon's great now! Fills the full app circle
Material You works as expected! Colors are themed correctly
It's now Thunder instead of thunder

Is the Android version 64-bit only? I can't install it on my older phone with 32b system.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice update! Any word on support for refresh rates above 60? Whenever I scroll on my 120hz screen phone the app feels like it's lagging.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey! I am aware of the performance issues and am working to improve them slowly over time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thanks! Just to clarify, it's locked to 60Hz on Android. So it's not that the performance is dipping, it just doesn't seem to support high refresh screens.

It is one of the best designed lemmy app so far but my biggest issue with the app is that after scrolling a certain amount app becomes so laggy to the point it becomes unusable. Hope the issue is fixed soon.

I'm an Android user so let me know if more info is required.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everything looks good but I am experiencing some skipping or lag when scrolling down.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup, I’m aware of some performance issues and I’ll hopefully have some improvements to those soon

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago

No rush, just making mention of it. Keep up the great work!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I tried th respond to your request guy android specific feedback. But, ahhhh, it won't open up the action bar to reply to comments, votes, etc at all lol.

It is, however, showing as Thunder, the icon looks great, and so far everything else is smooth. Haven't played around much though

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

Well, the reply function is on the right swipe menu, but there's no edit option :)
