New user here, came in from F-Droid! I like the idea and I see you're considering decentralisation - hoping for ActivityPub!

So far I've only noticed four things about the app that bug me: - I used the option in preferences (on the site through the internal webview) to unsub all, but the app still tells me I have 10 front page subs when the site says I have 0. - I thought the thread view still had up and down vote buttons instead of lightbulb and laugh - turns out they're useless pgUp and pgDown buttons - does anyone use these when you can just momentum scroll? I feel like they're just in the way. The preferences page also still refers to the votes as 'upvote insightful and downvote funny' which is confusing. - The RegEx for your automatic linking of subs/users/comments doesn't link anything after subname: s/sub/comments/hmmm (I did see another effect in someone else's post where a word ending in s joined to another word with a slash produced a sub link but it appears that got fixed at some point?) - The markdown engine doesn't seem to have ~strikethrough~ or multi line code : appears to become inline [][code][] (edit: just learned that the 'reddit way' has always been to prefix each line with 4 spaces... Wow. That must be frustrating when pasting more than 3 lines.) I'm used to using markdown in Riot (a Matrix client) and GitHub for code blocks with the format langNameForSyntaxHighlight code();

...5. Do link previews have to break up blocks like lists?

Thank you! Don't know how I didn't see that before, I guess I was skimming for the word preview instead of button 😆

Eurgh, that looks disgusting in the android app, the link previews boxes break up the list horribly!

Yes I understand that, but my point is the app still lists all those subs under subscribed, although the website (correctly) says I have 0 subscriptions. In the app, 'Front Page' is the same as 'All Subs' (/hot == /s/all/hot), and I don't see a way to view an equivalent of /s/subscribed.

I used the option in preferences (on the site through the internal webview) to unsub all, but the app still tells me I have 10 front page subs when the site says I have 0.

I see you mentioned that this only affects the subscribed tab, maybe this is the root of my confusion but the terminology 'front page subs' seems to be self-contradictory 🤔

Okay yep #5 is definitely the most annoying: this looks fine on web but messy as hell in the app.

Comparing this with this and still getting this

Note: I see the previews aren't working there, you'll have to click 'get the file', sorry 😜
