Just rereading that one now. It's been decades since I first read them all, and it's fab to get back into that universe :)

If you read the article, both points are addressed.

I'm not from the US, and have heard of thatch in relation to hair. But not "Swedish fish"—also a US thing...

Was it the one about ears?

Have you seen For All Mankind?

And how is the rabbit doing?

Is that why bees can't wear contact lenses?

Yup--a sarnie shop in a Spa town. See what they've done there...

I'm sure I remember a similar story about someone very excited to get a response each night, and eventually they followed the return call, it got louder and louder, and eventually they saw some other idiot hooting like an owl through the trees.

 

If you touch & hold for the popup on a comment, you can upvote, downvote, save, etc. But it doesn't show the changes until you navigate away and back again.

 
  1. Tap and hold account button in bottom bar
  2. Tap currently active account
  3. Swipe main feed from left to access feeds list

The app now shows Feeds at the top, the main feed on the view and freezes.

I guess tapping the current account should dismiss the accounts popup?

 

When opening a post from the main feed and then using the Community menu, the Subscribe entry has the wrong icon, and also doesn’t ‘update’ until you close the post and reopen it (ie it doesn’t show as a toggle, even though it does appear to function as a toggle.

Loving the new link preview position option :)

Is there space for a couple of media tweaks?

  1. Images, once zoomed in, have this unfortunate feature where moving them by a few pixels brings up the controls layer, and then it’s hard to get rid of—single click zooms back to full image (which is great for quick dismiss). Maybe the controls could be completely disabled if the zoom is anything but ‘fit to screen’ or whatever that default state is known as?
  2. Videos when rotated often fail to scale properly to the new aspect, getting progressively more and more zoomed.
  3. Tapping a video in the feed to show it full screen leaves the playback controls visible, then another tap brings up the share / dismiss controls over the top, and then finally a third tap leaves just the video. This feels like it could be smoother—again maybe start with no controls visible?
  4. Dismissing a video should probably pause playback, as it can be hard to hit the tiny pause button back in the feed.
 

When using Large post view, posts with a url show that url including thumbnail below the post content. But when opened, the link is above the content. I’d prefer it to be below, so that the 2 look similar—I find it a bit of a visual glitch that the order jumps. Is there a way to do that (couldn’t see one), or could it easily be added?

 

Seems like the default post sort is periodically switching back to Scaled. I’ve have Remember post sort set but after some time (maybe app restart?) and often when switching feeds from All to Loval, etc, it’s back to scaled. Is that a known problem?

 

Would it be possible / desirable to set the community automatically when viewing a specific community and then tapping Submit Post? Seems like that would be to most convenient and could still be changed if needed.

 

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this is supposed to do, but I thought the ‘Sidebar’ menu item used to show information about the community you were viewing. But it seems to show instance info now. Is that right?

 

I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

 

I saw this comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?

 

Don’t know if this is from the most recent update but I just saw this post and it doesn’t show the image in the feed—just a grey placeholder box. Opening the post shows the image.
