A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

Jerboa needs a lot of work. Especially on the UI front.

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

thanks. It lists links to 8 instances. For some reason I couldn't add https://lemmy.world to it though.

Yes! How do you even search for a community in Jerboa?

[–] Benrucker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Thanks! I actually had somehow missed that.

  • 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)

Did you try it recently? I think it looks great now.

[–] sedawk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm using it right now, yes. Unless your referring to the alpha, than not yet.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sedawk@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago

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.

I want to be able to collapse children comments from the parent.

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If I'm not mistaken, you can do that by clicking and holding on the top of the parent comment.
