I’ve heard many people saying that the front-end looks old and needs more work, but I’ve never heard someone describe how it could look better. To me, it looks perfectly fine. I wish it had a card layout similar to libreddit, but aside from that, I think it’s nice. If people want a completely different look, then there’s lemmyBB, and there will probably be other front-ends in the future. However, we should hear opinions about which styles people want.
It’s almost impossible to navigate to other instances via the android app unless they’re saved in your subscriptions.
Yeah, that’s not a lemmy ui issue, though. Links to lemmy communities or posts open in a browser window from jerboa. Is there a standard way that apps should use to determine if a link is to a lemmy object (on any instance) or just a web page? Maybe a
HEADrequest and checking headers?My problem is in android 12, they no longer let you manually define urls for apps to open. Am app has to give you “verified links” now. This is like really really shitty because in the jeroba app, everytime someone posts a link to another place on lemmy, it won’t open that shit. I’m probably going to buy an older phone because this is really fucking me. I do have an unlocked bootloader though but Java fucking sucks and reverse engineering an entire rom just to unfuck 1 shitty feature is like a 1 year long job.
Remember when newer tech used to actually be better than old tech? Pepperidge farm remembers.
