Hi there! Thank you for having this app on F-Droid, and more importantly for creating this app! As a (former) user of Infinity, I’m really grateful to have basically the same app for Lemmy.
I’d like to give a bit of my input. Actually this is a bit of my pet peeve from the old app as well.
Compared to the other apps (e.g. Boost, Jerboa), this one does not provide a homing button (i.e. a clear way to return to top). While the Refresh button in the menu is useful, relying on that is less than ideal. It is awkward at best and confusing at worst.
I’m not sure if the general consensus here would agree (some input here would be appreciated), the general flow on social media app would be to simply press the home button to go to the top of the feed, occasionally swiping down to refresh. This has worked for me not only on Twitter & Instagram, but also on Mastodon apps (both the official app as well as Tusky), the other Reddit apps, as well as other Lemmy apps.
I noticed that the bottom nav bar is identical with the Reddit app. However, the two buttons on the left are redundant as they function exactly the same (due to Lemmy not having the equivalent to multireddit). Could we have the leftmost button as home? I feel like it’s the de facto standard these days.
I’d like to know what y’all think!
You can customize the bottom bar in the options and there is a button that brings you back to top, see screenshot. Is that what you mean or am I misunderstanding you?
I dont have anything like whats in your screenshot. I found the settings to change what each button does but cant seem to find the option to enable the bottom bar
Its in Preferences / Settings / Interface / Tick the “enable bottom navigation bar”
I kind of thought it was on by standard but I also imported settings from infinity so maybe thats why it was on.
