Bug? Swipe back to subscribed list takes you to home instead (aussie.zone)

submitted 1 year ago by supercheesecake@aussie.zone to c/memmy@lemmy.ml

From home, swiping left opens up my subscriptions. Selecting a subscription opens all the post there. Once I’m done with that sub, I’m expecting to swipe left again to go back to the subscription list so I can move on to the next i want to read.

Instead a left swipe takes me back home. This is strange behaviour. Swiping left is essentially a back to where you came from. Which in this case is my subscription list.

Could this be fixed please?

We plan to just make this a button you can access from anywhere (somewhere intuitive so you can easily press it)

Thanks. I still hope you’ll consider making swipe back take you to back the subscription list if that’s where you’ve come to, and not home. I think this is much more typical behaviour.

I understand that would mean you’d then need to add home/local/all to the top of the sidebar subscription list. But again, it’s very common to see them there in such apps (eg Apollo, Voyager etc).

We are trying something new and making it a drawer, rather than just copy what Apollo did. We can look into making going back remember if you had the subscriptions open or not though

I agree with supercheesecake on this. Also having subs change what's shown in "Feed" makes navigation easier on several levels.

E.g: I'm now in a post in the sub Memmy. If I click on "Feed" in the navigation bar, I'm going back to All/Subscribed when I just want to go back to the Memmy sub.

Also the swiping, which was something Apollo did really great, is an easier navigation pattern than just a button. If you place a button on the top bar to bring out the subscription drawer I'm never going to click it since it's out of reach.

Please consider grouping all/my subs/individual subs since it really is the same thing. This also makes sense of you in the future implement custom feeds as well.

Sorry for the long comment. Hope it makes sense
