As someone who spends a lot of time switching between the two styles of viewing, I think it’d be nice to have an easily accessible toggle option for compact posts, a la Mlem. Also, congrats on getting into the AppStore!

    Ooh interesting request… Just out of genuine curiosity, why are you switching back and forth? What is your use case?

    I would think most people (including myself) would find (or customise) a view that works best for them and stick to it perpetually - until it is time to improve on it or switch things up for a fresh look.

      For me some communities are more image based and I’d rather see the full image for those, but on the ‘All’ feed I prefer compact view in case irrelevant or nsfw things pop up and take more space

        I believe Sync for Reddit had that feature, super useful if you browse different types of content, I second the request.

      Honestly, it just depends on the community I’m browsing. Sometimes I feel like taking in a bunch of information at a time with compact view, then I’ll move to a picture centric community and switch to larger images.

      Diving into settings each time just gets a bit tedious after a while.

        Right… I gotchu. Never ever thought of doing that tbh. Might just be me but I have that mentality of setting everything up just nice and never change it again till the end of time - OCD almost 🤔
