Agreed, the image viewer is the big stand out issue for me too. The variability of the tap-back-to-full-size is frustrating, and that you can “lose” the image off-screen makes no sense at all.
I like being able to zoom and focus on a side of the photo with a section of the screen just black. But losing the photo entirely is not good I agree.
I moved over to Avelon and it has the pinch zoom and is similar to Memmy.
Funny, I just opened Avelon and saw your message :) I’m bouncing between 3 or 4 apps trying to find the balance. Lemmy had the lead, even with the image viewer as it is. I’ve been waiting for Instance Blocking for a while now, and Lemmy introduced it but it’s been broken since. That’s really the thing I’m missing - just so much shit I don’t want to see in All, but not enough content in specific communities to only view Subscribed.
To be honest it seems that development has stalled a bit lately.
I think they’re working towards a larger 1.0 release. Fixing up things because the fast development introduced a lot of bugs.
Copying a previous comment:
It’s been on our todo list but we have been a little burnt out from Memmy development and lemmy in general so things have been slow. Plus I’ve been addicted to baldurs gate.
I moved to Avelon and it seems to be a little more complete including functional pinch zoom. Too bad as I did like Memmy.
Also have been using Avelon more lately - they do images well, but videos on the other hand have zero control beyond pause, with no ability to resize, skip, etc
