Just got it installed and set up! Looks great!
If I had one complaint it would be that mod tools are missing. :( Or if they are there, I can't find them. :)

This look great! Was struggling with Jerboa for the last few days. I gave up and got into Tildes instead!!
This feels familiar!! ๐ Awesome
Loving it so far! I'm glad Boost is back! I have one problem, though! I'd love to pay to remove the ads but when I press Remove Ads I get a screen with a blue background and "Remove Ads" right in the middle of the screen but there doesn't seem to be a way to actually pay to have the ads removed!
Other than that, it works really well. Feels very responsive, too!
Very nice. Within five minutes of using it I've removed other Lemmy apps from my phone.
It would be nice to have something that guides you through finding communities in other servers as I don't feel like I'm seeing them all.

It's great, I bought ad free just for your efforts. But 2 problems so far:
-
error on uploading any image of any dimensions in any sublemmy.
-
can't see the videos, not in preview Mode, nor in full-screen Mode.
What can i/we do?
When adding images to my profile (both my profile pic and my banner image), they get rotated 90โฐ counter-clockwise.
This has been a very good idea!
I'm excited to switch over and will definitely report any wonkiness.
Yeah! Thanks for the great Work. Btw. Rndnsfw is Not working ;)
would.
can't login to my instanse. nor another.
am not making a new login.

Does your password have more than 60 chars? If that's the case, type only the first 60 chars. This should be fixed for the next version.
If not, let me know the error message.
Not sure if it's Boost or YouTube Revanced at fault but got the following error when I tried to open a Lemmy link to a video: https://postimg.cc/q6sW77x0
Also, the sign-up journey is a bit confused. Clicking sign up takes me to joinlemmy, which then just lands me on a home page for whichever instance I click. Might be more user friendly to prompt for a choice of instance and take them directly to that instance's sign up page. And maybe have a button for "not sure? Explore here" or something similar that would take you to joinlemmy
Being taken to the instance that just selected makes pretty firm logical sense to me, personally. Is the sign up process/path uniform across all instances?
The few I checked were, but not sure if the path is defined as part of the Lemmy protocol.

Is there an option for the comments where I can just long-press to select and copy text instead of needing to go into a copy menu and then using the select text option? That can be bit tedious, and I typically copy most longer comments and send them to my voice-aloud app for TTS. It's definitely the main feature I miss about the old RIF app - easy text selection and perfect Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support.
A minor ui glitch(?)
When scrolling through posts I noticed that occasionally the post summary would slightly scroll up cropping the first line in the summary.
After playing with it for a few minutes, I can reproduce the behavior by pressing on the summary, holding the press and dragging left or right, continuing to hold the press and dragging up or down.
It seems I tend to scroll with a slight diagonal motion instead of a pure up and down motion.
Screen shots showing the glitch: The post in godot@programming.dev, the "hey guys..." line gets scrolled off screen with the "diagonal scroll motion"
Normal post look
Glitched look
Looking forward to trying this! I'm unable to log in on this account currently as there isn't a TOTP field :)

Is is possible to opt out from comments notification on own posts? I didn't find the checkbox as I used to have in the old reddit app.
