Less friction to block a community
First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.
I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.
But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.
It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.
only apply post sorting mode to the feed you are browsing
Hi there. Thanks for making wefwef (soon to be Voyager!), I am loving it so far and you’ve done so well in such a short time.
I’ve got a feature request that I think would improve usability:
Currently, if I’m browsing all via Hot, and then find an interesting community and visit there and sort by Top (All Time), when I’m ready to go back to all, it keeps that Top (All Time) sort enabled and I lose my place and the post I was looking at. Sometimes I remember to reset it before I go back but not always. Often I end up having to scroll way back to the top to begin again looking at recent Hot posts as the order has changed and it’s kept me scrolled X amount through the post timeline.
I think it would be great if the sort option didn’t persist and instead reverted back to what you had selected when you were at that point originally.
Thank you, Obscura :)
Highlight your own comments
While browsing posts, it may be nice to have either a different background color or some sort of identifier on your own comments to easily pick them out of the crowd as you scroll.
Auto-select text field after selecting reply.
When replying to a comment or post, a modal pops up for you to input text... I wish that the textfield would get focus automatically instead of having to tap or click the textfield first.
Block community option in hotdog menu
There is currently no way that i can find to block a community from within the app.
Open links from lemmy instance in wefwef
As titled, would be a great feature to have.
Although I’m not sure if is even in the realm of possibility for pwa.

Slide left on post toggle
Can you give us a toggle to switch the options for slide left on posts? Right now, a short slide collapses the comment and a long slide replies. I feel like the opposite is more intuitive, but if people don't feel the same, you can make it a toggle.
Would it be possible to add a setting that allows us to change our default feed?
Love the app; it’s a solid Apollo replacement. Is it possible to please have the option to change the default feed when opening from Home to Local or All as well? Thank you!
being able to search with exclamation mark
I think an important functionality would be able to search with a prefixed exclamation mark to be able to specify an unfederated community, such as [email protected]
Im still learning the ropes here but I think that’s an important thing to be able to do from wefwef?
Auto update PWA
Out of curiosity would it be possible to add an auto update for the pwa instead having to go to settings --> check for updates --> update ?
change image in comment behavior to match image in post behavior
First of sorry if you see a similar deleted post (I accidently delted that post thing it was solved).
I noticed when I make a post if I post an image using say imgur (or the default uploader) wefwef will use the in internal image viewer as expected. However in the commetns it falls back to opening images in new tabs.
Unfortunately this leads to images somtimes being over enlarged on devices like ipads and in the case of imgur specifically, redirection to their mobile site which doesn't allow enlarging images (for phones mostly).

jump to top of list with 1 tap
On Apollo you could tap the area just below the FaceID sensor and it would zip you straight back to the top of whatever you were scrolling. This would be useful to have again!
block a community
So that it doesn’t show on All. Would also love “smart blocks” like blocking communities in languages I don’t speak from All
[Feature Request]
I’d love it if wefwef could save sort preferences per-community/view like Apollo did.
Really makes switching between big and small communities a lot easier.
Fixed height cards
First of all thanks a lot for this amazing PWA.
One thing I noticed on a rather slow connection is that image loading makes the scroll jumps around which is a bit bothersome when reading post titles. An option for fixed height cards should fix that I think.
Ability to list all communities on an instance
Having the ability to see all communities on an instance (one you’re logged into or others which are federated) would be really helpful to find new communities were interested in.
Default option for sorting comments that is different from feed sorting option
At the moment, it seems like the comments on each post are organized by whatever is the default sorting option picked for the main feed.
I would love to be able to have distinct default sorting options for both. Personally I would like to set the Feed to “New” and the Comments per post to “Top”
Manul Light/Dark mode switch
While I do prefer the Dark mode visually, I often find myself having a hard time reading with it. Please consider adding a light/dark/auto mode under the appearance setting section.
