    Thank you for all the github issue and feature requests. You all help me see things and have ideas I wouldn’t of been able to. If no more major bugs come up this will be the last for a few days while I start working on additional new features.

      Could these additions be submitted to the official ui?

      Eh, I was definitely a RES user and a RIF user. This is something that I missed from those apps. So definitely inspired but this is an amateur attempt early in development. I hope you enjoy!

    I appreciate the work you put into this, but please write better commit messages. It’s super unhelpful to write “updated file.xyz” in every commit message. Describe what you did. That way it’s way easier for people to help out because they can see what you did so they don’t waste time fixing the stuff you already fixed yourself.

    Besides that thank you for your work. <3

      For sure, I am legit new to all of this CI/CD,git stuff so It’s a lot to learn. Thank you very much. I will try and add more descriptive commit messages.

    Hm, I’m still having issues with resizing images:

    • When starting to resize, the image starts from a much smaller size than what is currently shown
    • Images can’t be resized a second time once you have let go of the mouse button once

    Thanks for taking the time to make Lemmy usable!

      I got all the image expand funkiness this fixed (I think) I should release it later tonight Maybe tomorrow! . Also implementing another behavior for the sidebar where it is minimized by default unless you choose to keep it open. I personally like it open all the time on desktop but mobile or other people might like it minimized (that way if you open a new lemmy page it doesn’t pop open automatically).

      Version 0.1.2.3 should be the fix

      Thank you for the report. I see both of these issues. Can fix I’m sure! I’m doing this as a learning experience and for fun so I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me what your seeing. And you are welcome! Ive been off reddit almost a month now and doing this for Lemmy is something I believe in!

    Does anyone have any issues with Auto Expanding Images not auto expanding the images? I still need to have a separate extension installed to make all the inline images expand without interaction, but I may have something misconfigured

          Do you have it turned on in the option page? You click once to expand the image from the post thumbnail and then you can click and drag that expanded image to manually expand it. Check also that the auto expand value is like 50 or something. Also, if your on mobile it doesn’t work.

            Oh interesting, I think I was confused about the intended functionality. I thought “Auto-Expand” meant all the expandable images would be loaded when the page loads, kind of like the “show all images” button in RES

              No auto expands to full size on thumbnail click but what your talking about is doable. I’ve never even considered that functionally before. I never used that in res! I’ll see about adding it!
