For me it would be:

  • Monet icon and Material UI design.
  • Mark read post while scrolling.
  • A button to hide such read posts.

I know there are more critical functions which most of the apps are lacking like going straight to the comment from a reply, it wasn’t a big deal before because there were not many comments, but now it is becoming harder to find the context!

So far only Jerboa and Thunder qualifies the first “needs” for me!

Please share yours!

    1. Ability to log in to accounts on multiple instances This one is common, but I’m specifying it for #2 & #3.
    2. Optional sync community subscriptions between accounts I’m too locked-in to an instance after subscribing to many communities. Make it easy for me to migrate by keeping my subscriptions in sync between accounts.
    3. Optional publish alt account links to Bio To make migration easier, if I’m syncing subscriptions between my @Gamera8ID@lemm.ee account and my @Gamera8ID@lemmy.world accounts, then modify my @Gamera8ID@lemm.ee Bio to say “aka @Gamera8ID@lemmy.world” and vice-versa.
    4. Shared inbox for all accounts If I get a fourth then this would be it.

    I’m using my tablet to browse Lemmy and haven’t found an app yet that has all the posts on the left side and the content of a single post on the right.

    The screenshot shows an example.

    Also, mark a post as read when you have opened the media and ability to hide read posts.

      I personally like how it looks like, the icons get a monochromatic theme based on the color of your wallpaper.

      Here is home my home screen looks like.

    Might be controversial, but I personally want the option to turn off swipe gestures for votes. I keep giving people downvotes on accident when I’m trying to go back to the previous screen. Every iOS app I’ve tried has this feature and it’s inconvenient imo.

    1. Stability (no random 502s, go away with refresh - sounds like backend trouble?)
    2. Performance/efficiency
    3. Viewing all communities in an instance
    4. Open in app (YouTube, Play Store, etc)

    Came from RIF and currently using Liftoff, it’s my favorite client so far!

    Swipe navigation, I’m coming from relay for Reddit, and using a left swipe to go back was really handy.

    I keep trying it in jerboa and thunder … So a lot of unintentional upvotes in thunder and nothing happens in jerboa.

    Next is embedded imgur/redgifs opening, which I was also accustomed to.

    Clear posts that I’ve already read, but be able to see them again with refresh. Not completely gone like with the settings option. This is what I miss the most of my old Reddit client.

    Sorting, if I sort by new it’s really really similar to hot right now, just one article or two different. In fact I get hot articles that are 8 mins old, something isn’t right.

    Link/image handleing is hit and miss right now, sometimes they don’t expand when I “click” on them.
