I think the community and user button was removed to reduce the size of that particular overflow menu, which can help with the user interface on devices with smaller screens and or lower resolution screens. It seemed like a decent compromise since tapping directly from the feed would be faster.

I suggested the removal in a post but it didn’t solicit any replies opposed to the idea. Maybe it was a bad suggestion and I’m curious to hear the specifics of what people dislike about the change. Like I’m still trying to get used to not tapping on the community name at the top, when you’re viewing a post, to visit the community; which was changed to refresh the post like a while back. So I can understand developing muscle memory and having to adjust to changes. Is the change annoying because of a forced workflow change or like loss of functionality?

The feature you were asking for has been added in the latest beta, v264. So you may want to check your app store if you’re not on that version. Now, just to into Settings, tap on the three dots in the top right and there will be a “Display changelog” option.

Perhaps they were alluding to the expression, nothing is written unstone.

Turning that off does make the link work again. But I’ll turn it back on since I prefer list view anyways.

Also, could you take a look at highlighting of new comments? It still doesn’t seem to be working for me. I’m not seeing any comment highlighting whatsoever.

It’s fixed with the example above but it’s still broken for other unresolved pictures like this one in v255.

Ahh, okay, so the issue is with card view. I prefer the condensed list view so I couldn’t see the issue. I’ll create a new post for the bug.

Could you expand and provide more details on the issue you’re having? The one for this post should’ve been fixed, if you’re on a recent beta build.

Diablo’s ears were one thing. But in this game, you can throw a… labia?

If you view your account settings in the browser, there should be a checkbox for “Bot”. This option is typically used for accounts that perform automated posting. So if yours is mainly a personal account, you may want to unchecked that option. The ability to change that may not be accessible through a third-party Lemmy app so you may need to login to lemm.ee on your browser.

Does the issue occur on the latest beta, v1.0.252? If so, which instance specifically? I tried going to the different communities on v251 and pulling up posts seemed to work fine.

Is this happening on v1.0.250 or higher? A fix was implemented in that version and I haven’t noticed an issue since. Even on the latest v252.

The update should be available to you in the Android or Apple app store. The only thing I can think of where it’s not is it you left the beta program; in which case, rejoin?

It seemed like it was fixed in v246 but somehow broke again in that version? I’m on v249 and still haven’t seen any comments highlighted.

EDIT: I post that and then it works one time. It randomly works but mostly not for me.

EDIT2: Specifically, I have the comment button as a secondary button and when there’s an orange number, that means there’s new comments but when I view those posts, most of the time there’s no highlighting whatsoever.

A post he made awhile back is pertinent so I’ll quote the relevant part.

Leaving Reddit (and twitter) was never about shutting myself out, it’s entirely because those platforms are run by vile people and I can’t stand to use them anymore. Back in the early days Reddit was 100% of my community interaction, and I admit I do miss participating in big discussion threads there, but these days the majority of my communication time is through direct messages (mainly email) and that’s been the case for years.

I’m curious what people think of the potential change.

Personally, even if the shielding is chunky, it’d still be a nerf to me. The current passive shield is useful at any health level, synergizing with a defensive build. The proposed change seems less useful.

Yes sir insert pronoun here.

No worries. I FAFOed. And user notes I can add back.

I have community banners enabled now but for people that prefer it off, maybe a share and info option for MultiCommunities could be added to the MultiCommunity overflow menu? There’s no way to share or check a shared MultiCommunity otherwise and I think the banner setting is also off by default.

Ah, I have community banner disabled so I didn’t know about that.

The multi-community share link doesn’t do anything for me? Ditto, tapping on the link in my browser. I’m on v239.

EDIT: An option to delete a MultiCommunity needs to be added.

Also, having the add MultiCommunity from the subscription section of the main menu would be nice. Another place is the community about page and maybe the community overflow menu(the upper one, after you tap on a post).

EDIT2: So you can delete a MultiCommunity by removing all of its linked communities but this may not be intuitive and having a delete option in the MultiCommunity overflow menu would be useful.

Also, I was trying to find the minus button you mentioned and it didn’t click to me that I had to go back into the “Add multi” selection again. Maybe it could be renamed to MultiCommunity or something, since you’re not always going in there to add.

EDIT3: If you set a MultiCommunity as the default, it doesn’t show the (D).
