Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lunar@lemmy.world

Scrolling is quite smooth and it looks good at a first glance. Here’s some feedback:

  • app icon tab in settings crashes
  • can’t login to Lemm.ee
  • the feed feels very sparse, I think decreasing the horizontal padding as well as the vertical padding could help, not sure how that looks like though. I‘d try half of the horizontal padding and 1/3 or 1/4 of the vertical one
  • seeing what feed I’m currently scrolling would be nice

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I’ve just submitted 0.8.75 which will address points 1,2 and 4. Will add in a compact mode soon in the future!

Thanks :) Where can I see the current feed? I was expecting it in the navigation bar

mani@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I think version 0.8.75 only just got approved, so you should be able to see it after updating

fer0n@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Ah, I thought that was already supposed to be out. It’s there now :)

Great news, especially the Kbin support

Looks good! But confirming that selecting app icon crashes the app. Can’t login also

fer0n@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Same

Thanks everyone for the great feedback, I've added issues on the github and will be working on them soon. https://github.com/mani-sh-reddy/Lunar/issues

I couldn’t login to my reddthat instance and I get no error message to tell me why. Just a haptic response and red lock icon. Verified I’m entering correct credentials.

timespace@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y

Doesn’t seem to work with custom instances yet, I couldn’t login with sh.itjust.works either.

airman@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 2y

Seconded

nixx@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2y

Looks good at first glance.

I am testing login with 2FA but it doesn’t appear to be supported yet.

I’ll keep browsing anonymously for now.

Congrats mate, looks promising

mani@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Released 0.8.67 which should fix some of the bugs mentioned: https://lemmy.world/post/4007703

Is there a version for Android?

mani@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Unfortunately I do not have plans to bring it to android as it's written in swift

Very_Bad_Janet@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Thanks for replying.
