The submit post button is confusing
The submit post button is confusing
Doesn't look anything like something i would click to submit a post
It now looks like this in 0.35:
Still should be at the bottom of the form IMO.
Came to say this as well. Still much better than before
This. It's a pain in the ass to use with a big screen smartphone.
Agreed. It's a UX nightmare to look to the top right to "submit". I understand the desire to make use of an otherwise empty and useless space in the upper right, but it is unintuitive.
I think the Lemmy devs are great backend guys but quite poor at front-end design. That's OK, but they should ask for some advice here. :)
Same with default Lemmy theme, its designed to be functional, not beautiful.
A normal button in the bottom right of the form/screen makes most sense.
Loads better!
That's much better
A new version of Lemmy was released, and the Jerboa app that updates to that new version isn't released yet on Google Play.
Try the new 0.0.35 alpha here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases
Or on IzzyDroid: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jerboa
It looks like FDroid main repo doesn't have it yet, and it'll probably be a week until the Google Play version is updated (it's still on 0.0.33 lol).
Update your app. 0.34 has an arrow to post. 0.35 has more fixes, but its only on Github as of the time of this comment.
And on Fdroid Izzy archive now.
0.34 still has the + symbol for me, and I have it from fdroid. Will need to wait a bit i guess
Yeah, I keep tapping the "create post" text wondering why nothing is happening before realizing my mistake.
Same always wondering where to click, I think something on the bottom right would be better.
Top right is also fine but make it look like the Send icon when you're posting a comment
EDIT: It's been changed apparently, yay!
I kept closing my app thinking I had pressed create post my mistake
It should be a Post button not a submit button, I'm not filling not a tax form, or handing in a homework assignment
Completely agree. At least with the reply you have the standard send symbol
This has been applied to post in the github version, it should make it to app stores soon
Correct this is confusing and needs changing
