Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I’ve had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.

I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!

Thank you, Sigve Rokenes

    Just an observation coming from voyager and previously from Apollo… there is something up with the touch spot for comments. I have never had problems with other clients but for whatever reason I always manage to miss hit the comments link and click on the group instead. Other than that it feels like this is my new Lemmy client

    Edit: it only seems to be for long group names where the group name text is directly above the comments link

      I’m not sure I understand what you mean, you can tap anywhere on the post except links/usernames etc to open it. Mind sending a screenshot or something?

        Ok… see this screenshot

        The red dot at the bottom is where I would normally tap to see the comments. Muscle memory has me tap there from years of using these apps. I am not sure if there are other places to tap, but that is where I tap. 9/10 if I tap that red place I will end up accidentally getting confidentially_incorrect rather than comments

          Ah ok, yeah that makes sense. I’ll look at tweaking the touch target to make it easier to tap!

            Can confirm I also had to tap 4-5 times on the comments icon/count before I got it right. Otherwise it took me to the community and not the post. In my experience I had to tap below the actual number to get it to work.
