[BETA] Connect beta 1.0.90 Released

Thanks for your hard work, everything seems to be working perfectly 🙏 I love the new upvote animation

Suggestions for upcoming beta releases:

• bottom navigator bar footprint could be smaller
• ability to manually sort the subs in the favorites list

Thank you for your work!

A request: hiding an instance from a post on the front page should be the instance the post is in, not where the OP's account is from

One thing I noticed on the latest few updates is that (at least in card view which is what I use), pressing on the comment icon for a post brings up the screen to reply to the post instead of loading the comment thread (which is my expected response to that button). I'm fine having a dedicated reply button for a post but if that is the case, I think the icon should change to make it more obvious that that is what this button does. Like the reply button that appears elsewhere in the app

We needs disable option for volume key scrolls posts.

Back button doesn't work in 1.0.94, nothing happens.

.94 bug report: sometimes the back button refuses to work. I can't seem to find the exact thing that triggers the issue, but I'd say 1/3 of the times it stops working.

Never had this issue in previous releases

I liked the old 'comments' link way better, took me a minute to figure out that it wasn't just a bug. It's less clear now what is the upvote number and what's the comment number, maybe I'll get used to it but just wanted to say it's a downgrade in clarity IMO. Besides that, amazing app, been using it for weeks and it's the best one 👍

Tried the beta.

[Design issues]

-I like the new post icons (upvote, downvote, etc.) but there is a lot of empty space underneath. I recommend a similar design for the icons in the comment bar.

[Bug report]

-Volume control comment navigation doesn't work (only scrolls after clicking on screen) and there is no option to turn it off. Edit: fixed with 1.0.95, but I would also like an option to turn it off

[Feature request]

-An in app player for videos and gifs

-A section to see recently opened, upvoted, downvoted, hidden posts (I know it's hard since it's not implemented in Lemmy yet)

May way to shift all the buttons on a post to the right? At the moment the up vote/down vote is on the left and I can't see a way of changing it.

I've been testing Connect against Jerboa and Liftoff, Connect still takes it! I wish the thumbnails performed better though, I'm seeing less previews/thumbnails on Connect vs the other apps. If that could be addressed, I'll go right ahead and delete the others.

Keep up the good work! Connect is 🔥

The new update broke zooming in on pictures. The volume rocker now controls comment navigation but there's no option in the settings to disable this feature.

Thanks for implementing the swipe up/down to dismiss an image!

This is totally not important compared to implementing other features but is there a way to make the gesture more fluid so the image loves with your drag until you let go? Sync for Redditvs implentation as an example.

Edit: I think it already is doing what I said but sometimes it's not sticking with the drag and snapping back/snapping back as well as dismissing the image.

I'm not entirely sure why, but I can't log into my home instance lemmy.fmhy.ml for some reason. It gives me a "failed host lookup" error message Trying to go to the sign up page gives me this

The webpage at https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/signup could not be loaded because:

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

However, using the website works fine, which is how I'm doing this right now.

Perhaps I am missing it, I get notifications for comment replies but not for moderator reports. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Also for reports I don't get an option to comment on what the report is about. That would be a nice feature.
