Need to have access to edit after posting
Im using on iphone 12 running on 17.3.1(latest version) and the apps version also latest on 1.0.8.
Having a feature to edit posts or comments after they are published within the app itself would be great for correcting mistakes or adding additional information.

Support for new „scaled“ sorting
In October, a new sorting mode was introduced: „scaled“
This allows sorting posts based on the size of the community in order to avoid the feed being dominated by large, active communities, and pushing smaller communities. This was one of the main blockers for me to move from Reddit, so I’m glad it’s finally implemented. Therefore, I would love to see this sort option be available in Avelon on supported instances.
Thanks!

Native Video Player for Video/Gifs
I think Avelon has become one of the best Lemmy apps for iOS, but there is one issue that is preventing me from buying into Pro and making it my default: inline video only for video and gifs.
This is such a huge drawback to otherwise great app; the native player has simple, intuitive and familiar controls; allowing users to switch to horizontal, mute, pause, rewind/forward, etc.
Is support for the native player disabled intentionally or is this something that is in the works?

Block accounts/bots
I’m either blind or this isn’t a feature of this app yet, but there doesn’t seem to be a feature yet to add an account to a block list.
I’m just so tired of seeing [email protected] posts.
I believe I’ve seen that Lemmy has a bot account flag for repost bots like b0t, it would great if you could filter all accounts flagged as bots too.

Taking posts button to bring to top
It would be practical, if taking posts button would being you to the top if you already scrolled some. If you’re on top, then it could open side menu as till now. This would be easier for refreshing the feed.

Show Usernames in Feed
Thank you for Avelon!
Requesting an option to show the submitting user (submitter) in the Feed views, especially the Compact Post view.
I got used to this feature back in the Apollo days. Seeing the submitter gives more info on whether to open/view a post (i.e. is the poster a known bot? known troll? known spammer? have they posted previous un- or likeable content?)
Thank you for your consideration!

Ability to change color of headings and text.
When scrolling down the normal view, some text is in gray and not white, so it’s hard to read. So it would be nice if we were able to change the text color 

add “reload/refresh” button for posts in top nav bar
Could a refresh button be added to top nav bar? I know it’s in the ellipse menu, but it would save a step. Maybe a pro option?
Also how about ability to hide a post.

swipe to uncollapse comment
Sometimes I click a comment or swipe in from the right to collapse it, I want to reopen but it is very difficult to click on only the collapsed comment and not the commenter’s name.
Would it be possible to make swipe from the right to …uncollapse (expand?) the comment again. It’s one of those little things that would really improve the flow of reading through comments.
On a completely unrelated note, the saved draft for posts is very helpful. I would normally have to cut the text, go back to whatever, and then paste it back.

Share a picture and an URL directly from the "share..." menu
Hi!
We all try to make the lemmy fediverse active by posting interesting content! It's currently painful to share a picture I just took. I would love to share it easily.
Currently :
- I take a picture
- I select "share..." in the iOS menu
- I send it to myself as an email to resize it (otherwise it will be rejected because it's too heavy)
- I save the picture in my photos
- I launch a lemmy app
- I go to the right community
- I create a new post
- I browse the photo library to get the picture
What I would love :
- I take a picture
- I select "share..." in the iOS menu, I find a lemmy app
- I am ready to select the community
- (The lemmy app resizes the picture for me)
I know that it is not an easy feature to implement. However, the lemmy fediverse would gain activity from it.
Also : it's less painful, but sharing an URL directly from the browser would also be a must.
