Hi, past couple days have seen a influx of new users so welcome everybody! This release is aimed at improving customization options and some requested improvements. The secondary buttons on post cards can now be customized, added a ‘Hide above’ option which will hide all posts above the selected post, and the upvote colour can now be customized (also applies to the new comment counter and swipe action background on upvote tiles).
Changes
- Upvote colour can now be customized
- Fixed a bug with the subscribe button not being in the correct state within About Community
- & symbol now renders correctly on posts and comments
- global setting moved up within the Settings page to make it more obvious
- filter terms now accept regex (should start and end with a “/” eg /foo/)
- spoiler tags should now work for multi-line spoilers
- Added a toggle to display comment debug information (shows id, children count, hot rank, upvotes, downvotes - probably only useful for debugging).
- Fixed an issue where ‘View More’ is showing when it shouldn’t be
What would you like to see next: Tablet UI or more granular theme customizations?

Simple Mobile does that. There’s a separate “thank you” app you can buy just to throw a few bucks their way.

I’m amazed how light weight this app is. The quality is here, it’s basic and it doesn’t take huge space.
A well done app!
I was thinking about being able to comment with one of the other logged account.
While browsing with one of my multiple accounts, I comment and can choose to post with another one.
I don’t know how this is possible and if I was clear.
I think you could do that with Boost for Reddit, but I can’t go check because fuck reddit for breaking my favorite app. Anyway, based on that it may be possible but also Lemmy works entirely differently so… Maybe
I think Sync had it too. It pretty useful to scroll with one account and pick one of the 10 alts to comment.
@kuro thank you so much for making such a great app!
Thanks for all your hard work! Can’t believe how great Connect is in such a short period of time.
Whenever you have time, could you implement saving your place in the comments when coming back to a post. Sometimes I exit a post by accident and when I go back in its takes me all the way to the top.
+1 for that feature.
Thank you devs for doing all the hardworks for this project<3
Feature request: Hide annoying emoji display names (show usernames)
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but ‘show instance tags in names’ will show the real usernames and not display names.
Thanks, it works! The setting is a bit confusing though, I didn’t understand what the setting does until you explained it.
But still shows the display name (if a user has one) before the instance tag though. What OP meant I guess was just showing the original username (even the user has set a display name)
I feel personally attacked. 😂
Upvote colour can now be customized.
Woohoo! This looks so good now, thank you Kuro!
I’d just like a quick toggle matching theme for Lemmy vote colors in general (blue up/red down).
Yeah I hear ya. Do you mean like a universal scheme?
I personally think light blue and grey are good for up and down, respectively.
Slightly off topic, but related: should I be seeing in your user name?
I don’t know which is the “real” Lemmy color scheme with theming and all that, but I think it’s generally the opposite of Reddit, with the blue upvote and the more red downvote.
Could you maybe screenshot my username? The O and R should be different, and the last part is a raccoon emoji. If it doesn’t show correctly, I’d like to know haha.
The default is blue and red on a browser (in dark mode at least).
The pic is using Connect. But I’m typing this from a browser and it’s like that here too
Oh wow. Very strange. I figured it was putting that at the end in place of the emoji or one of the other letters, but the emoji is clearly there, as are the letters. I haven’t seen it happen in any app or browser when viewing my own profile, posts, or comments, so I’m not even sure how to fix that. 😅
EDIT: There was an extra space at the end. I deleted it, and I hope that was what was causing it. I appreciate it!
It looks like on both web and Connect it has s
Well, dang. I might just have to have a boring old regular display name then. Thanks!
Allowing us to customize the comments more would be nice. Like I don’t want the top level comment to collapse when clicked, just its replies. Also it would be nice if the left padding on the comments was reducible and the colour bar could be made thicker.
Awesome app. Reminds me most of baconreader
Not sure where to raise this but I’m getting a bug where posts will toggle between read and unread when opening comments from list mode
I’d like to see a way to scroll to the top on a single button press. If there’s one then I’m blind lol
You can do it by scrolling up just enough to get the top bar, then in the three-dot menu, hit refresh. Obviously it refreshes, but it also brings you to the top.
I would like it if the refresh button wasn’t in a submenu.
Not related but I would also like to see the topic in the top bar… When browsing comments i sometimes forget what the topic was (especially when i put my phone down for a bit.
I hate to sound like I’m begging for features and don’t want to do a whole separate post, but is there any chance for an “auto-hide child comments” option in the future that collapses replies to top level comments until opened by the user?
It’s the only feature I really miss from RiF and RES.Other than that everything seems to be working great and this is my favorite Lemmy app so keep up the great work!
I’ll see what I can do :)
You’re a legend
Is there a way to edit your profile from within Connect? Like updating display name and bio, or uploading a new avatar or banner? I feel like there’s been a handful of things I didn’t think Connect could do, but found out later that I was just overlooking it or didn’t recognize it in the settings.
Another random question - the area in the pop out panel on the left where your username/avatar is displayed at the top (it’s blue for me). Should that be showing my user banner? If not, can that be a thing?
Tablet UI please with columns!
Thank you for all your hard work!
Auto collapse comments would be cool
Thanks for the update. Yay the page numbers are not showing.

The toast requires the feed to be scrolled down in order to view it with swipe to hide but shows up normally with the hide button or actioned through the post options menu. Imyalso hoping it’s fixed since I mainly use swipe to hide but I guess for now I’ll probably use the hide button.
