When I make a new post in the app, the icon to click to post the post is a plus sign. Can that get switched to the paper airplane icon you see in most other social media apps for posting something? I think that's kind of become the standard...

The paper airplane is for the act of sending, which happens after composing a post, comment or message. As you stated, a plus or pencil both work for composing.

Yes that's what I'm talking about, I think I may not ha e made it clear enough in the OP

Yeah, a paper airplane means “post” or “publish” and it can apply to posts as it does to comments. I would not be against it but there are more pressing issues such as the Markdown renderer’s lack of support for

RIF has a right facing split triangle / paper airplane. It looks very similar to the post comment button on Jerboa.

I have been using sync and boost for more than 10 years, both apps have now the plus icon.
It's a standard, just like dynamic theme imo(android 12+), I'm not an android dev but i would keep it as it is.

i thought a paper pairplane was for sharing. the plus sign isnt weird to me

To be clear, I don't mean the plus sign box that denotes "create a new post."
When you click that, it opens a new view where you create the post. In that view, when you want to finish and close, you click another plus sign. That's the one I'm talking about.

Yeah that was confusing for me too! Paper airplane or checked icon

I thought the + would be to attach something. I guess I'll get used to it, but it was a bit confusing for me. I don't social media much anymore, though, so I'm not going to feign wisdom about this.
