Heyo, what little things with Reddit and RES have you been missing with the Lemmy UI?

For me it’s been keyboard post/comment navigation (like RES) and keyboard shortcuts. E.g. I can’t post this submission with ctrl + enter as I could on many other input forms.

      The thing i haven’t worked out yet, is how to get it to open links to lemmy communities by default. For example if I click on a link from community promo it opens in Firefox focus rather than Jeroba. If I search for said community on Jeroba, it usually won’t find it.

        You can get it to open some links by going to app info, by holding the app on the homesceen. Then default links, you can toggle open support links and add the links available from there

          To search on Jerboa I’ve been clicking the bookmark bar next to home icon, I can normally find communities this way

          There’s a communities item, but some instances require that somone searched for that community by url (the full url of the community) on the instance main page before searching for the community in Jerboa will work. Be better if the Jerboa community search just scraped some master list or something.

      • Ability to tag certain communities without manually copying the link
      • Create custom community collections (Technology collection, memes collection)
      • View linked post/comment without changing instance (provided I’m subscribed to that community)

          No just the default version. I think it’s pretty great, just some things that I would change. But in general, the app really works.

            Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy it exists. Lots of good in this app. There are some key features though that I miss. Specifically the RiF interface for subs search and joining and the sub-grouping feature.

              Yup agree, some things can be improved and I’m very convinced it’s being worked on. Many people are working together on the app right now to make it become stellar.
