Yes, this. I’ve been filtering my feed a lot and I frequently check communities info and this back closing behavior gets me to have to reopen often if I don’t remember to tap the arrow instead.

Even better please add “about community” and “about instance” to the main feed context options (three dots button). I wish I could customize it, as it has block instance but I can’t see instance name without opening and I don’t want to risk blocking “lemmy.world” lol

Yes!! This so much, I was thinking of making a thread somewhere to talk about lemmy filters, better search to filter in, and auto hide to filter out undesirable content.

I would love if I could do that to usernames too, and comments and user blocks based on posts title/content.

We don’t need tribalistic mods to babysit us, just let me moderate my own feed and automate my own space, personal keyword/regex for the win. :D

Clicking this from Connect sends me to some random post but copying the text to a browser shows me the actual mega thread, thanks! :D

I’m replying from inside Connect app, did exactly that thank you! :D

This is nice, makes me want to try Connect.

I’ve tried jerboa which was an error ridden terrible UX where they updated client behavior without giving option to toggle back.

Then I switched to Liftoff which has been so much better than jerboa but still they also have this very annoying “swipe right to close thread” which gets me constantly kicked from posts while in a relaxed hand position accidentally swiping right trying to scroll and on top of it it doesn’t save remember which comment threads were collapsed so I have to reread scroll every single time…

Does anyone know a lemmy client where I can browse without these gimmicky swipe gesture controls?

Or know a list of lemmy clients that currently exist?

It’s really hard to filter useful info from opinions, I think I’ll try just using them all.

Edit: formating is weird

For anyone considering Firefox but still reluctant for reasons check out Waterfox. It’s been the best for me for years now. Honestly the best fork.

For those who are interested in Firefox but dislike Mozilla/got hurt by them in both of their past addon fiascos I recommend Waterfox instead.

The developer of the fork Waterfox is cool and actually gives options/warn users of major changes, I wish I had found Waterfox before Firefox wiped all my classic add-ons and then later the certificates+configs.

Oh wow thanks, I’ve been thinking about that all day recently how I want to auto hide auto block things and couldn’t find how to. I would also prefer regex tho but keyword is already a great improvement. I’ll definitely check this connect app you mentioned.
