The indicator bar, everywhere, has indicators in the middle with buttons on the outside. The buttons look the same but slightly larger. If they are toggled on, then you can see them clearly as buttons. Making them look like buttons when they’re toggled off would help me parse the icon Mark Read is currently displaying, since it’s the action that will be applied not the current status of read/unread (how my brain is parsing it).

There’s now an option for this on the TestFlight beta version: Settings -> Accessibility -> Distinguish Interaction Bar.

When the inbox counter doesn’t go down, it’s nice to quickly know which posts aren’t correctly marked. I don’t think displaying that way makes it more clear but I am about to rush to do something so I might not be thinking it through. I’ll think as I use the app and get back to you.

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

I think another issue is that the client gets out of sync with the server on the Inbox page. I think it only notifies that a refresh is needed when new items are added to the list.

And when the refresh banner shows up, if you pull down to reload instead of pressing the button in the banner then a load indicator shows and eventually clears but the banner doesn’t. I’m not sure if that’s because the load isn’t happening, if it’s the load is being thrown away, of if the banner state isn’t being updated.

I’ll look into these issues 👍

🤦‍♂️ I even noticed the link button was greyed out but for some reason I thought it was a bug and displaying as disabled even though it was clickable. Swapping from scroll to a hamburger menu is one way to handle future user stupidity but I’m not sure if it’s better, or there are better alternatives.

Yeah, this is a common cause of confusion; we really need to improve it somehow. A hamburger menu is an interesting idea 🤔 Another option would be to add some sort of arrow indicator to show that it’s scrollable. I’ll think about it 👍

Ah, I see! I get what you mean about the icons being confusing. Swapping them around might also be confusing, though… what about just always showing the “open envelope” icon, both when the button is on and when it is off? 🤔

Sure, I’ll add a setting for this. If you’re on the TestFlight beta, it’ll probably be in this weekend’s update.

For uploading an image, the bar I see above my keyboard is this, and I don’t see a place to change what’s in that bar.

If you put your finger on the bar and swipe to the left, it’ll show more options :)

Voyager let you upload images for a comment. I’m not sure where they stored the images, but it would be nice to have the feature.

You can do this by tapping on the image button in the toolbar above the keyboard. You will need to scroll horizontally through the toolbar to see this option.

The inbox icons for read, unread look like indicators and then they are backwards.

Are you referring to this icon? This icon is for indicating read status:

They’re actually buttons indicating what will happen if you press them, but that doesn’t map immediately into my head.

The icon I circled isn’t a tappable button; I’m confused :)

You’re welcome :)

Mlem (App Store link) has all of the features you mentioned (I’m one of the developers).

To be able to see the different sidebars that are visible if you load these two sites (not only the side bar on server I’m registered to):

Go to the search tab and tap “instances”, which allows you to read the sidebar of any instance. You can also search for an instance:

To be able to scroll these community (sorry not channel) lists separately and independent of channels from other servers (sorry not instances) (and not only the channels on server I’m registered to):

In the aforementioned instance page, there’s a “communities” tab that shows this list:

To be able to search “ask lemmy.ml” filtered by communities and see “https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy” show up in some way.

You can filter by a particular instance in the community search. Here, filtering by lemmy.ml and searching “ask” surfaces asklemmy@lemmy.ml:
