In contrast to the Liked Posts, Disliked Posts, Liked Comments, and Disliked Comments options, which don't appear to work yet, the Hidden Posts option (on both one's own user profile and other user profile) simply displays the contents of the All feed below the user page header.

Edit: Although the 0.4.5.14 update fixed the problem of the hidden posts user profile section appearing on every user profile, rather than just one's own, it still appears to just list the contents of the All feed, rather than specifically posts that the user has set as hidden.

Tried moving the video forward while watching this Peertube livestream in Arctic, but the app crashed instead. The app crashed again when trying to do so again, but didn't crash when attempting to do the same with a pre-recorded Peertube video.

When viewing the instance list in Lemmy Explorer, enabling the Hide NSFW option hides 490 of the 567 listed instances. On the reduced list of 77 instances, feddit.cl, feddit.uk, and aussie.zone are listed as the largest SFW instances.

Unless I'm misunderstanding how the NSFW instance sorting function works, it seems to be a mistake for so many instances, including lemmy.world, lemm.ee, and most other major instances, to be categorized as NSFW.

Not sure if it's possible with instances too, or just communities, but it'd be useful to be able to sort the Lemmy Explorer list by creation date.

Having widdled down my unblocked community count to just below 1,000, I can tell when there's new communities for me to review for keeping or blocking by the community count, but would find an option to sort by date founded useful for speeding up the process of finding new ones.

Another use case would be to have an easy means of finding recently-established communities to support and promote across Lemmy.

If any text is entered in the search box on the search tab screen and subsequently cleared with the 'x' icon or 'cancel' text, the app crashes.

After blocking several instances, my Instance Block List in Lemmy Explorer didn't update to reflect the newly-blocked instances until I restarted the app. It also seems to affect the UI that displays the "Block Instance" option, as it doesn't switch to "Unblock Instance" either.

On a related note, perhaps it would be helpful for consistency purposes to add the "Block Instance" option to the community page too.

Not sure if it applies to anywhere else, but although the Block swipe action successfully turned into the Unblock swipe action after blocking a community in Lemmy Explorer, the Unblock swipe action did not switch to a Block swipe action in the same manner, despite being able to block the community by going to its page manually and blocking it in the standard manner.

[Edit] Per the comment below, the suggested feature is already possible via the custom theme creator (Appearance Settings > App Theme).

For anyone else looking to replicate Reddit's arrow colors, upvote on mobile is #ff4500, while downvote is #7193ff. Now that I'm trying it, I think I actually prefer the default due to the subtler contrast of the blue, but being able to change it is definitely a helpful option to have.

Something that I think has been missing from most Lemmy UIs is distinct upvote and downvote colors, versus the red upvotes and blue downvotes present on the standard Reddit interface.

Although I personally wouldn't feel the need to customize my upvote/downvote colors beyond that, given that others might want colors other than red and blue, I think implementing such a feature with an assortment of default colors customizable for each button would maximize its usefulness. Implementing it with a color wheel or a hex color input option would maximize options even further, though might not make for a very clean UI.

Thanks for implementing my prior suggestions! Have more suggestions on my list, but I'll keep to posting two at a time at most to let others have their share in suggesting ideas too. 👍

While I don't make use of the gesture functionality in my regular usage of Lemmy, my extensive usage of Lemmy Explorer made me think that swipe actions would be useful there too, whether it be to block communities as I typically use the list for, or subscribe or favorite communities for those who make frequent use of those functions.

Seeing today that Lemmy Explorer indeed has gestures implemented for it, my revised suggestion is that these gestures be mappable as is the case for other feeds in the app, as to make the gestures work from the left or right and have the option of disabling unused gesture actions.

Had Arctic open in the background, with 4 unread messages and the corresponding icon on my Inbox tab, when my phone ran out of charge earlier today. When I recharged the phone and returned to Arctic (opened it with the 'currently open app list' UI), the icon was missing, but returned after I went to the Inbox tab and opened the unread messages menu.

Was replying to a now-deleted post in which the poster asked for feedback on the contents and phrasing of a message they had used to promote Lemmy on Reddit. As the crux of my reply was recommending an instance other than lemmy.world to send new users to, I thought I'd rework it as a post of my own.

While @[email protected] came up with good criterion for determining which instances should be recommended to newcomers, it seems that neither sopuli.xyz nor discuss.online has native third-party frontend support, something that may increase the likelihood that new users stick around. Although I don't think Mlmym should be recommended—despite being an easy switch for users of the old Reddit interface—due to it lacking recent updates, thus likely to break if not updated for Lemmy 1.0, other third-party frontends such as Alexandrite, Voyager, Tesseract, and Photon may serve new users better than Lemmy's default user interface.

Although country-specific, lemmy.ca is arguably the best option in this regard, supporting all five third-party frontends listed above. It's also one of the longest-running instances, dating to June 2021, and is defederated from lemmygrad, hexbear, and other instances on the Fediseer censure list.

If a non-country specific instance is preferred, I also went through the instance list further to find another general purpose instance with a neutral name, sufficient defederation list, and support for multiple third-party instances. Endlesstalk.org is the next most active instance to meet those criteria, with support for Mlmym, Alexandrite, and Voyager.

The request for this post isn't specific to a difference found in the TestFlight version, but rather an adjustment that I think may be useful.

Being an avid user of the block list system to keep my All feed manageable, I'm glad that the functionality is well integrated into Arctic. Although most users' block lists are likely short enough to make a search bar for them unnecessary, lists beyond several hundred entries become more difficult to search. Although at present I accomplish this by going to my user settings page in Safari and using the keyword search tool, an in-app solution would be helpful.

As I sometimes want to review a community's posts before deciding whether or not to remove it from my blocklist, the ability to tap on an entry (user or community) to view its page would also be helpful. The end user could then choose to disable the block from there via the existing UI should they wish to review the content of recent posts, before deciding whether or not to reinstate the block.
