Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

    I decided to make my own, I’ve had to switch to paying things, but I’m going to get started back on Luna soon. If you’re willing to give me feedback and describe in great detail what you want, chances are it’ll get added into the next version

      Thanks, I’m sure there are other things I can’t quite articulate because you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone problem, but here’s two that stick out for me. I miss sorting by controversial it’s interesting to see where the polarizing conversations are happening. On an interface side, there was a way to swipe towards the top of the post to switch to the next post on whatever page was populating posts so for example I were on the front page and see posts 1, 2, and 3 if I opened post 2 all of the comments would populate underneath it if I scrolled down into the comments I could swipe right at varying degrees to upvote and downvote or swipe left to reply, report, etc but if I ever drag right to left from the head of the post it would shift over from post 2 to post 3 or left to right to shift over to post 1 it made it really easy to see larger pictures, post details, and if there’s much activity while still being able to navigate through the communities without losing my place because of refreshing or scrolling back up when I go back to the community page, homepage, etc. I hope that helps. Thanks for the effort let me know when your app goes online.

        So honestly I hate the comment swiping interface, I know what you’re talking about though. I’ll put it on the list for an option but it’s going to be low since I find it to be bad UX - to me, swiping should be to change something on your screen.

        The swiping between posts sounds like a great idea though, that’ll almost definitely be in the next version

        And sorting? Custom sorts and feeds are like my main design goal, that’ll definitely be in there

        The other thing is saving your place - that was my biggest complaint personally. You can already click on anything to see more about it and go back without losing your place

        You can even change accounts or sorting methods and go back to where you were - I’m playing with making that more intuitive though, I disabled it for the current version because it was awkward

        I’ll save your post and ping you for the next big update
