You can set up macros! There are macros that can launch apps and even simulate touches and finger-dragging. If you can't do this, you can use scrcpy and run scripts on the computer to interact with your phone that way. There's almost always a way to automate whatever you do repetitively.

Or at least favorite or create shortcuts to your most commonly accessed folders. Eliminate as much travel time as possible if you already know your destination.

    I don't think I have ever seen a Lemmy client that shows image alt text at all, or in this clear way. That's pretty cool!

    I guess my one concern about it would be whether the button itself would obscure that corner part of the image if artwork was there, but that's no big deal.

     
    1. Enable haptic feedback reduction in the settings
    2. Start typing or editing any post or comment body
    3. Open the deeper markdown menu to access unordered lists
    4. Put your finger on unordered lists, change your mind, and drag your finger without having let go straight to ordered lists
    5. Feel the earthquake under your finger

    Update: apparently, this also still happens in the save post-share-report menu.

     

    Thunder is great at displaying the number of comments for each displayed crosspost of the currently viewed post. This helps me find out where further discussions of the topic at hand are separately happening, as opposed to me poking through several crosspost links only to find out that there is nothing going on there.

    Alternatively, seeing 0 comments can help me more quickly decide to go to those links to intentionally seed more activity among the crossposts (and help Lemmy's "bustling" appearance to would-be members and redditor converts), haha.

    Regardless, it's always nice to see the comment count before tapping crosspost links.

    Additionally, it would be great to press-hold on crosspost links and copy them without having to open them.

     

    It'd make for way easier post title-editing/-updating.

    Additionally, on my S25 (in portrait orientation, of course), I'm having some sort of issue with the last character displaying off-screen unless I manually swipe left to see it. I can't seem to reproduce it reliably but it's happened at least 3-4x now ever since I've revisited Blorp and it can be just a bit bothersome.

     

    On Mint Cinnamon, alt+clicking apparently drags the current window. Meh; why, given tiling (whether manually with Super+Arrow, automatically with cortile, etc.)?

    On Windows, alt+clicking directly on links lets you nullify the link-following so you can highlight the link text to then copy. This is a far more useful feature to me. Is there any way to change Cinnamon to do this?


    Solution: Just disable the feature in the "Windows" settings' Behavior tab!

     

    I was replying to a larger comment by someone else and I couldn't figure out how to highlight and copy to paste into my own reply just a part of their longer comment. How do you do this? The only workaround I could think of was to back out and be able to highlight sentences in the comment from the main view of the post, not in the drafting section of my reply.

     
    1. Go to your inbox
    2. Check for new replies
    3. Look at the double-checkmark icon in the top-right, get confused over what it does, fear doing something undoable upon accidental tap, so hold your finger over it to try to get a description of what it means
    4. No helpful text appears explaining what tapping it will do

    The double-checkmark icon is relatively new to me. I've only seen this on Lemmy clients and I didn't remember what it was at first.
