Feature Request: Preferred dark theme (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I use the follow system when setting a theme. However, Thunder defaults to gray theme rather than amoled.

Would love to have the option to set a preferred dark theme so that it defaults to the amoled option instead.

Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.

With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit) by Fake4000 in c/[email protected]

Why not promote matrix as a substitute?

Feature Request: Export settings option (lemmy.world)

Apologies, not sure if the option is available. Can we have the option of exporting voyager settings to a local file and restore it when needed?

Voyager updates have been failing lately and the only way to update it is to remove the app, download the APK, reinstall it, then amend settings again.

Antennapod hands down.

Works great and have been using it for years.

Great app to sync my phone with my laptop.

Feature request: Double tap, hold, then swipe to zoom (lemmy.world)

Voyager is an amazing app but to me it lacks one feature. A client like Thunder has this feature where you can control the zoom level by double tapping, holding, then swiping up or down an image. It's great for single handed use.

Would it be possible to implement something like that in voyager?

Accounts capitalised while everything else isn't. (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink

The ACCOUNTS title has been capitalised while every other title on other screen has the first letter in uppercase only. This only happens when choosing the android theme. Choosing the apple theme seems to be fine.

The android theme has been improved but having this capitalised makes it look jarring.

Finally, been ages.

A number is still needed to register I believe.

Now that you have settled here on Lemmy. What is your impression of it? by Fake4000 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 152 points 4 months ago

Less content to go through, so you end up going through posts and comments a bit more thoroughly. This translates to higher engagement from users overall compared to Reddit.

The con of course is less content to go through.

Shit move from Reddit. Glad I jumped ship to lemmy.

Honestly, lemmy has less users compared to Reddit, yet you still get more engagement.

Gen Z is bringing back landline phones because they think they look ‘cool’: ‘I love to twirl the cord’ by Fake4000 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 117 points 4 months ago

We all know landlines won't be coming back. They can try and make it cool with some fancy stock photos but mobile phones have killed them long time ago.

Usernames are shown as coloured blocks instead of letters.

Works fine on other apps.

Bloody Samsung think a base S24 for €900 is cheap. Not to mention the shitty Exynos it comes with in Europe.

Bug: haptic feedback still happen with the option turned off (lemmy.world)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

1 comments fedilink

Even when the haptic feedback turned off, it still ocurrs.

I am using voyager 1.31.3 native on android.

To reproduce the issue, just choose any post and click the three dots option. A menu should slide up with options such as upvote, downvote, or save.

Simple place your finger and hold on one of these options. If you swipe your finger up or down through the option a haptic feedback occurs.

What happened to LineageOS? Has it been replaced by GrapheneOS? by Fake4000 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 105 points 6 months ago

No. They are two different projects.

Lineage is about providing a Google free version of android AOSP and supporting as many phones as possible.

Graphene is about making a privacy centric version of android that can run Google apps sandboxed. Graphene only supports pixel phones.

Fear of cheap Chinese EVs spurs automaker dash for affordable cars by Fake4000 in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 183 points 7 months ago

Honestly, just take a basic normal car, and replace its engine with an electric one. No on screen entertainment, no cameras, no AI bull shit, no self driving. Just as basic as it gets.
