The submit post button is confusing

Doesn't look anything like something i would click to submit a post

It now looks like this in 0.35:

Still should be at the bottom of the form IMO.

Came to say this as well. Still much better than before

This. It's a pain in the ass to use with a big screen smartphone.

I think the Lemmy devs are great backend guys but quite poor at front-end design. That's OK, but they should ask for some advice here. :)

Same with default Lemmy theme, its designed to be functional, not beautiful.

A normal button in the bottom right of the form/screen makes most sense.

Agreed. It's a UX nightmare to look to the top right to "submit". I understand the desire to make use of an otherwise empty and useless space in the upper right, but it is unintuitive.

A new version of Lemmy was released, and the Jerboa app that updates to that new version isn't released yet on Google Play.

Try the new 0.0.35 alpha here: https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases

Or on IzzyDroid: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.jerboa

It looks like FDroid main repo doesn't have it yet, and it'll probably be a week until the Google Play version is updated (it's still on 0.0.33 lol).

Majority of people will use google play because it is the most convienent. Its not officialy released to most users if its not on google play

A new version of Lemmy was released

It's not yet released!

Doesn't it just need the google play version updated?

0.0.34 is still in the Google Play verification stage, 0.0.35-alpha is available on GitHub now to support the lemmy version that's coming out tomorrow.

Google Play is slow, consider using FDroid for now until things settle down.

Same always wondering where to click, I think something on the bottom right would be better.

Top right is also fine but make it look like the Send icon when you're posting a comment

EDIT: It's been changed apparently, yay!

I kept closing my app thinking I had pressed create post my mistake

It should be a Post button not a submit button, I'm not filling not a tax form, or handing in a homework assignment

Correct this is confusing and needs changing
