Is there a way to change gestures? (lemm.ee)

I keep trying to swipe right to return to my feed after viewing a post (a setting I implemented on Apollo). Sometimes it works but the majority of the time I wind up upvoting a post. My thumb is too short to reach all the way to the top of my phone screen to click the back button with one hand lol. (Phone developers: bigger isn’t always better for women with small hands!). Any ideas?

I keep seeing this request from LOTS of people - myself included.

Is it just not possible?

Or just on the to-do list?

Regardless, I’m floored by how good WefWef is and I appreciate the work that goes into it.

I'm pretty sure it's on the list, just remember this project is scarcely a few weeks old. Things are coming along.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's in the backlog as of now https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef/issues/64

There's hong to be a settings overhaul happening soon, which thus will come after

Agreed. The hitbox for swiping “back” is too narrow.

Scrolling also sometimes gets “frozen” briefly when returning to my feed. This happen to anyone else?

Yes to the freezing. It needs a second or two before you can scroll.

Safari moment

By Safari moment, you mean WebKit moment? I have this issue on any iOS mobile browser.

I also prefer having a swipe gesture for "back". It is consistent with iOS design and is intuitive.

I dislike the gesture controls for individual comments. I would rather have on-screen buttons for up/down votes and replies.

For me it's upvoting: I go either too far (I down vote😭) or not far enough (nothing happens).
