The biggest feature I notice missing in almost all Lemmy apps, is jumping to the top on the first tap of the tab icon of the view you’re in.

E.g. you’ve scrolled down a bit while in the Posts tab, then you tap the Posts icon, in Apollo, it would jump to the top of the list view in Posts, then second tap would take you to the communities subscribed slideout view.

Would love to see both the first and second tap functionality added to the tab icons as it’s a great quality of life feature IMO.

I forget if Apollo’s was the system behaviour (I.e. skip all the intermediate pages and go the first page if you have a bunch of pages showing, then scroll to top).

We currently have it so it goes back to the previous page, one by one.

    I forget if that’s how Apollo did it or not. In my mind I had thought it scrolled to the top of the current view first then went back one. Too bad we can’t check 🥲

    Having used the branch for a day, I think it would be cool if we could scroll to the top of the current view first. Like if I’m on a long thread. Tapping the tab icon, would be handy to go up to the top first. But I can also see why someone would want to have it go back to the previous view instead. Maybe if there’s a way to swipe forward to the same spot you were just at. 🙏

    Absolutely haha, ideally you’d be able to customize the behaviour.

    Hopefully this feature will be out soon :) The team is busy getting other issues closed first. Plus, I’d like to wait for an iOS 17 build to go out first. I’ve added tap to scroll to top to some views in the meantime :)

    Swipe to go forward is….another problem haha 😅 I wouldn’t hold your breathe for it (super easy to do in UIKit, but much? trickier in SwiftUI)
