    The app feels amazing! One thing that I personally want is the possibility to share images, gif or videos as they are, not only as a link to the post…

    Other than that, I’m switching from connect!

    I just downloaded the app. I love the feel, look & everything so far!

    I’m such a baby at this, so please excuse my ignorance. But I can’t seem to like comments under posts. Am I just missing something?

    Also I don’t know where to find my comments that I’ve made. Again, am I just so dumb I can’t find it? How do I see My posts & comments & how do I like other ppl’s comments? Please & thank you.

    Sorry, I didn’t know where else to ask this. 🥺 I love this app so much rn.

    I love the app. Like a lot. Only thing missing for me so far. Text/UI zoom. Everything is too small for my old eyes. Lol

    For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don’t have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):

    • How does the icon look like to you? Has it improved from last time?
    • How is Material You? Does it work as expected?
    • Did the name of the app change to Thunder instead of thunder (capital case vs lower case)?

    Nice update! Any word on support for refresh rates above 60? Whenever I scroll on my 120hz screen phone the app feels like it’s lagging.

        Thanks! Just to clarify, it’s locked to 60Hz on Android. So it’s not that the performance is dipping, it just doesn’t seem to support high refresh screens.

    It is one of the best designed lemmy app so far but my biggest issue with the app is that after scrolling a certain amount app becomes so laggy to the point it becomes unusable. Hope the issue is fixed soon.

    I’m an Android user so let me know if more info is required.

    Well, I tried th respond to your request guy android specific feedback. But, ahhhh, it won’t open up the action bar to reply to comments, votes, etc at all lol.

    It is, however, showing as Thunder, the icon looks great, and so far everything else is smooth. Haven’t played around much though
