hi everyone
first of all thank you very much for making this app. Lemmy is philosophically way better than Reddit, which i can no longer access, and this app makes it possible for me to browse communities. not only that, but the app is totally functional, well-designed and has lots of thoughtful features. Summit is a great app that I'm happy to recommend. however, i have an issue.
i, like many people, struggle to limit my social media use. i find it easy to scroll endlessly and lose time - that i didn't want to spend looking at a screen with my back hunched over. how I'd like to use summit is: i moderate a couple of small communities; i check my notifications and reply to comments and messages; i browse my feed, which is comprised of posts from communities I've subscribed to, in chronological order. I'd also like to be able to search for new communities, and block users.
all of that is possible and easy within Summit. the developers have done a smashing job.
my only issue is that the default feed is all 'communities, sorted by activity'. i don't wish for this to be taken away, as it's great for some users. it only takes two taps for me to get the feed how i like it: subscribed, new. however when i close the app, Summit resets to default, which is an endless stream of content i haven't asked for, but which is nonetheless enticing. and so i scroll and get annoyed at myself.
in terms of solutions, i have two ideas.
-
a setting to choose the default feed content.
-
Summit to remember how your feed was configured last time you used the app.
for me, the first one is preferrable, and i imagine easier to implement, but I'm happy to hear other ideas.
let me reiterate that the app as it is is wonderful, and even without this change i will continue to use, enjoy, and participate in Summit for Lemmy.
thank you
