I love it too. Fortunately Liftoff! has it as an option! (see announcement post)

Collapsed view is already implemented as a user setting in Liftoff! (see announcement post). Good call on the search.

Yes, I don't think the original devs could ever have seen a post with more than a handful of comments. As soon as they mount up we do start to have issues. It will be a priority are for Liftoff! (see announcement here!)
Hi All, It has been a crazy few days as I've been trying to keep up with all your great feedback about the app. When it was pointed out that there was another app in development using the same codebase, I was really interested to see how they were progressing, and in discussing our two projects we very quickly realised that we could move so much faster if we joined forces. So we've just announced our new combined app [Liftoff!](https://lemmy.world/post/520520) We've brought together the best parts of both projects and have opened up the source for the project for your inspection and contributions. We will be using [GitHub](https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/issues) for logging issues, and I will ensure over the next couple of days that all the points that have been raised here or through TestFlight are captured there. If you want to have longer discussions and interactions with us, we have a new community at https://lemmy.world/c/liftoff. Thanks all for your support, encouragement and criticism, and I hope to be hearing from you at the new community. Thanks, Michael

Great feedback thanks. The usual feedback and reporting channels will be opened very soon, but I am paying attention to comments here, so it's all helping!
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Not a problem, that's a really important feature to have (and easy to implement a simple solution :-). Thanks for raising it.
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Now added in TestBuild build 0.0.1+7.
Test image available at https://lemmy.world/post/431064
This fixes problems caused by a change to the API which meant that comments on posts retrieved via lemmy.ml failed to load. Thanks to everyone who reported this via TestFlight! Also includes preference for warning on posts with NSFW content, and trimming of excessively long post body text. Available as usual at https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR

Tapping at the very top of the screen will take you to the top, and you can then pull to refresh. Not quite as quick, but near enough :-)

Oh this is so unexpected. The excitement I felt at seeing Mlem move forward so quickly with so much support from its users was one of the things that inspired me to believe in Lemmy and to start working on Limbo. Thank you for your incredible work, and well done for having the insight and courage to step back when you needed to do so. Please take some time to look after yourself.

All content except the title of posts marked NSFW now requires a click-through by default to view. This can be changed in Settings > Appearance.
Note that you may not even see NSFW posts depending on your server settings.

This is the best place to get my attention!
Filter request understood and sounds doable.
Collapse replies -- long press on the comment :-)
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
That's what I've been picking over today, so you'll probably see the changes tomorrow 😉

Nice idea, I've no idea how it all works, but I'm learning a lot at the moment!
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Same here, I feel very odd getting praise for what is essentially their work!
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Good point. Thanks for bringing it up!
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Yes, I think they will be adding features at quote a pace for a while now, while I just want to ensure that Limbo is robust enough for everyday use as my first priority. Looking reasonably good from the feedback so far, though there is some work to do.
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
To be honest, that's low on my priorities at the moment, but once core functionality has been shown to be in good order, we can start thinking about the best approach to such features.
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Yeah I think there's some UI thinking to be done. I just want to ensure that the functionality all works as intended first!
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Haha, that's very nice of you, but all the credit should go to the original devs at https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur. They've not responded to direct contact but perhaps some donations might attract their interest (they have a donation link on that page).
I've had great fun working my way through the code getting it ready to release, and am enjoying reading other people's perspectives on how the app is working out for them, and that's reward enough for me!
Fixes for a couple of important issues: - Make EVERYTHING feed an option, off by default. This was causing confusion as posts *picked up from* servers where the user isn't logged on can't be voted on, replied to etc. Making this clear is requiring a bit of thinking about how posts are presented, so this option must now be selected in Settings > General - Change the DELETE account option to be a much less dangerous REMOVE. I've not had any irate feedback yet, but that was too dangerous an action to leave in this app. Thanks to the **over 50 people** who have downloaded the app so far. No crashes encountered yet, but lots of great feedback both here and in TestFlight, so thank you all! The app should update automatically, although I had to fiddle around to get the update myself, so let me know if you have any problems.

Yes, it's a shame that Lemmur got abandoned just as Lemmy's time was coming.
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
That's great, thanks for pointing me to him, I'll get in touch!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not a Discord user so I'll stick with this community for the moment. If that changes, I'll be looking for advice on how to proceed 😉
I just had a look at the AMOLED mode and see what you mean. I'll have a play about with that theme and see what I can do.
I understand the point about sorting. I'm still trying to get my head around it so keep watching!

Let me get to the point where I'm reasonably comfortable there's no terrible issues and I'll start looking at that side of things!
limboapp 1 year ago • 0%
Oh I'm sure Mlem will catch up very quickly 😀
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Hi, I'm not sure I understand the question. It's specifically a Lemmy client so unless you're also running a Lemmy instance this won't do anything for you...
limboapp 1 year ago • 100%
Haha, I’m also stealing ideas from beta testing Mlem!

Hey, thanks for jumping in so quickly!
I saw that sign-in issue earlier but thought I had dealt with it, so thanks for letting me know.
Good point about the edit button too.
re visibility: if you click on the dropdown at the top of the home tab you'll see that there's an "Everything" category that means that it collates posts from across the various servers listed below, even if you don't have an account there. I think that this is a nice feature especially if defederations continue, but see that it's confusing as presented right now.
Yes, it's yet another app for Lemmy. Based heavily on the abandoned [Lemmur](https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur) project, with a few updates to make it run with the current API and some minor changes to the UI. Written in Flutter, so although it's only available for iPhone and iPad right now, it does run on macOS and Android so releases for those platforms may be on their way. I will be releasing the source once the app has gone through this beta testing phase. [Go and get it!](https://testflight.apple.com/join/e6ZEbxuR) Let me know here of any issues or in the TestFlight build (long press on the icon). Once I've opened the source we can start using GitHub to track issues. KNOWN ISSUES: - The app occasionally forgets who you are and mistakenly nags you to log in when trying to comment or vote. Developers: interested in helping out? Experienced with Mobx, Provider and Freezed? Let me know! Features: - Full featured for end users - Light Mode, Dark Mode, System Mode - Multiple accounts on multiple servers - Localisation (work in progress) - Full search support (posts, comments, users, communities) A few screenshots to whet your appetite: ![Viewing posts](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/86d77703-59b1-4062-b79c-e6faff1a90c2.png) ![Writing a post](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/7c4e632a-4d0b-4523-b95f-1e3dadae4ca9.png) ![Viewing a thread](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/799095ab-e827-4e6b-aa3f-04752d38ac40.png) ![Searching (in light mode)](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/64d8013b-dd23-432e-94ce-cc3767af50c9.png) ![iPad support!](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1611d483-d429-4701-a166-1b4484926a05.png)
