  Okay now how do I turn this off? Giant still images are bad enough

- How tf do you post one with a weblink when websites like Giffy wrap it in a website by default.
  
  In contrast to pages like giphy, I'm not enshittified.
  In fact you have to commit some serious jank to have a link serve a gif file if included in a page but a website if opened directly. Those "services" have worked hard to maje your experience worse.
  
  What I did is the default. You put the file into the directory of your website and it'll work like that.
Hey, your app is one of the best around there, great job! Do you think you could add predictive back gestures ? (Totally fine if you don't) And maybe make the app available in more languages? :))

Also, do you think you could maybe add an option to get rid of the profile drawer (the one on the left side) and make it look like the google play store one? It's kinda hard to use when on gestures :)))
Thank you for that first feature in the list!!!
Legend!!
Thank you for your continued development!
Paid for the ad free version seeing you're actually updating it. Great app that I paid fir back in the Reddit days as well.
- Thanks for your support ❤️🥹
Nice! I like the long comment chain handling, but it looks like the "all comments" link goes to just the context, not the top level.
Thanks for this!!! Best app ever, for real. 💯
Thank you
Just happily paid for the ad free version. Since you're doing actual updates and now have read on scroll it's worth it.
- Woo! Same here

- You may need to enable supported links in Android settings

Thank you! Appreciate the hard work!
Hi thank your for the update. I want to report an issue which I believe is related to launch modes or navigation stack. Many times I noticed the the app have same screen with multiple instances in backstack so I need to press back button 2 or 3 times to actually go back to front-page.
Not sure why it took me so long.

Awesome! I've been waiting for Mark read on scroll!

On the topic of webp images, I find I can't share them with other apps that don't support webp, could there be a setting to convert them to PNG or jpg when sharing?
Thx for making such a good app :D !
Love that you are continuing boost for Lemmy! Great work
How can I use revanced patches with Sync or Boost for lemmy?
Top notch app Rubén!
