Lemmy's "active" sort involves recent comments AFAIK, so if you're sorting by that you should see megathreads.

I still haven't encountered any issues on Wayland on GNOME. X11 is unusable for me because it handles multiple monitors poorly, and everything just seems less smooth.

I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks by Xylight in c/[email protected]

The "wtf is this?" is settings, obviously.

I've noticed it quite a lot actually, for posts tagged as "meta", "oc", "discussion", "rant", etc. the most useful I've seen is in [email protected], because people mark the posts with the comic creator.

That's much better. by Xylight in c/[email protected]

I've heard he gives an actual edit along with one of these joke edits. I'm not too sure though

[Released] [1.31.0] Big speed improvements and infinite scroll (github.com)

submitted 6 days ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

4 comments fedilink

This update is currently available on phtn.app, with a tagged release coming soon. Post navigation is down by 65% and returning from posts is instant.

What's Changed

feat: add infinite scroll

You can now scroll down infinitely without clicking next!

As a bonus, returning from a post page is now instant.

Of course, you can turn it off in settings.

A virtual list is also used so that infinite posts can be loaded with no performance impact.

feat: parse tags from title

Tesseract dev and I had the same idea, [tags in brackets] in posts will automatically be converted to a badge/flair. You can click it to search for all posts with that tag in a community.

I added options which let you choose flairs to blur posts of or hide.

tweak link design

improve smaller screen support

codebase: move $profile to a derived, immutable store to improve consistency

i18n: add new languages/update languages

Chinese

English

Estonian

French

Finnish

German

Hebrew

Portuguese

I don't understand why many desktop environments don't have a confirmation when you click one of those. Only ones I know that do it are GNOME and KDE

I'm working on adding a feature that will convert tags in the title to flairs, which you can add custom filters/rules to.

Hey, I've been working on a few changes to photon that make it a lot faster to open posts and return, and as a result of these changes I can also make infinite scroll work. If you go to this link, Vercel will have commented on the post with a preview link. Those are basically the beta links.

Preview Link

Let me know of any bugs and any changes you'd like!

Current roadmap

[x] Make this not duplicate posts in memory
[ ] Make this work on all posts
[x] Use a virtual list for better render performance
