I feel that comment section has too much excess space even with user logos, etc disabled. Compact mode for posts is perfect. I would love to have the same for comments.
For comparison on my iPhone mini screen, 7 comments on Voyager fits in the space that 4 comments on Mlem does
Collapsed comments on Mlem still take up more space than expanded comments on another app.
Also the layout and putting all the meta info in the middle does not help at all.
I love Mlem, but I wish they would stop reinventing the wheel with how to display meta info/button and make a clean, consistent layout without too much wasted whitespace
It also doesn’t help that the interaction bar doesn’t collapse with the comments lmao
Re: design, our design is now largely set–we were iterating aggressively to find a layout that is going to serve us well when we implement our big customization update (planned for 1.2, late August/early September). Some of the choices we’ve made should make some more sense then, and for the time being we’re pretty happy with where the design has landed.
Your feedback–positive or negative–is, as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping to improve our app!
Mlem is awesome, I love the app and your work. It’s really responsive and your GitHub looks like you are doing a great job coordinating all your work.
It’s really just feedback and maybe nitpicking and mostly a personal taste/opinion.
It’s the only thing I can complain about.
