Hello, I have to say memmy is far superior to the official interface. Brilliant thanks for making it.

Maybe I would suggest getting rid of the 3 button layout and reducing it to 2 if possible. Right top seems way too full.

Especially the 3 dots show only 1 option. So the last 2 can be imho merged.

    Well we eventually will have other options there so that’s why it’s there. Slightly easier to just put it in a menu there from the start than change it later

      Edit to be clear:

      To pay respect to the Devs: I love Memmy. Memmy is the best Lemmy App for iOS. Everything after this line is just my lazy ass, laying on my bed, whining at a high level.

      Fair enough, but the blocking of communities should not take me so many clicks. I loved RES at Reddit for the ability to hover over a sub-name and block it this way. In Narwhale it was a long press/hold on the post to open a menu to block a subreddit. At Memmy, I currently have to click the Community Name to go to the community (and loading the full first set of entries), then click on the top right and then click on the bottom to block. It is almost a dark pattern to stop people from blocking communities.

      I looked in my Settings. Currently I have 200+ /c blocked. And 80% of those I blocked are via Memmy. I had to make this 3-click-journey a lot for that and can say that the the top right icon not always opened on the first tap. Sometimes, when I lay on my side I try to open it with the finger coming from behind the screen, reaching over the top of my phone and try it multiple times before I give up, roll over and have to use two hand to finish the blocking.

        Memmy has been in development for 1 month at best with most of the work done by gk and myself (mostly gk). I’m working in my free time after my full time job. So you’ll have to be patient and understand that things are being worked on. It’s not going to be as well developed as narwhal or Apollo since they were under development for many years and for profit (i assume narwhal was, i never used it). We are doing this entirely for free.

          Dude, you are my superheros. Please do not take it the wrong way. You created the best app currently for lemmy in such a short time that I have nothing but praise for you and your team. At no point do I want you to think I am anything other than thankfull and grateful for what you did. My input - if at all - could be ignored up until 2025 and I still would not trashtalk Memmy. It is THE best Lemmy App currently for iOS. Full Stop. <3

          EDIT: Donated you 5 Coffee to make it more than words!

            Appreciate it, sorry for the short response. We sometimes just get frustrated with comparisons to other apps and I personally can get defensive about it even if it’s not intended in a bad way at all lol. Trust me we definitely want to do things like more long presses in places, improve the flow of certain actions, etc.
