Piefed is a nice project, as much as I would like to make it my main Lemmy client, it wastes too much screen space with large controls on smartphone for my taste 🤷♂️
Will use it from time to time until then, thanks for this new release 😊
Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re finding the UI to be an issue. If possible I would like to improve how it looks on mobile with the PyLova fork.
On my device I see it as the attached screenshot, which doesn’t appear to have too much wasted screen space. Is it different on your device? What parts exactly are an issue for you?
Thanks for your time!
Hello
Thanks for your reply, I didn’t expect that, my post was an encouragement to keep up the good work, not a criticism.
Your screenshot does look better than mine, see that very tall icon bar? I don’t know why they are stacked on two rows.
Even on one row, I would say that it needs to be resized close to 66% height, maybe 50%.
Maybe I should look for piefed support forum or something ?
doesn't really look much different between the two instances. the theme differences are minor. the current default theme on piefed.world is even a bit more compact than the quokk.au default theme.
there are also user settings for more compact post listings, e.g. the variant with smaller thumbnails:
and after writing all this i realized you were referring to the bottom navigation. we updated several piefed versions in the last few days, if this is still the case for you i recommend raising this as a bug directly at https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues
Well, I looked at it a little bit closer : on desktop with chrome's devtools, you can reproduce the issue if you select the mobile view and iphone 14 pro max emulation.
I guess I will submit an issue on Codeberg 😶
Thanks. I will wait a little for Lemmy.world to apply updates, currently they run PieFed v1.6.27-11-gd06f9b66.
we are on the latest version now, there is no need to wait
Done #1850
On my browser piefed look normal too, maybe because you using different language?
I figured out that this double row is specific to iOS.
And this css hides the action bar , good enough for now 🤷♂️
@mrkaplan@lemmy.world this one is probably for you
