User Notes

Reply in thread

I don't think notes support the same functionality as user tags in Summit. In addition, their name suggests longer form text which means it likely shouldn't be surfaced in compact UIs such as a comments section.

The general feeling I get is that these two features seem to aim to solve the same problem but in slightly different ways.

Merge or aggregate cross posted links

Yeah this is a common issue. If the posts are correctly cross-posted, you should see them listed as cross-posts of each other so they are at least easier to find.

Aggregation is possible but there's a lot of different ways to handle it and they all come with trade offs. I haven't seen an approach that I like yet.

Basically this is a difficult problem to solve. I'll add it to the roadmap.

User Notes

This doesn't seem to be possible today. I can't find any API on Lemmy/PieFed that supports tagging/notes. If they do support it it is currently not exposed to 3rd party clients.

Always show link below post not working as expected

Reply in thread

It's a valid question/suggestion. This was just how I chose to implement this feature from the start which was to keep the thumbnail and link separate. I think most apps do combine them so that tapping on the image opens the link instead of the image.

When I was designing this I wanted to give a clear way to interact with the link vs the image. Combining them makes it murkier. Eg. what if someone actually wanted to download the thumbnail?

I think combining them definitely makes more sense for optimizing for the most common case though.

I think given the behavior of other apps this is probably a losing battle for me. I'll give this more thought and revisit the design of this.

How clean up Drafts?

I went overboard and I am adding two new ways to delete them in the next version. One where you can long press to be able to select multiple items to delete at once and also a delete all button.
