All the apps make it very difficult to create a post. You have to know what community you will be posting to, search for the community, click the three dots, click create post, click whether it’s a photo/link/text and then start posting.

Why not just have a Create Post button with the title field, url field, body text field, and a button to upload a photo and then a choose community button

    Jerboa’s create button “+” is actually obnoxiously big on the front page. I should be able to hide it. It give the fields title, url, body, community, and nsfw toggle.

    Liftoff also has a create post button with exactly that.

    You say “all the apps” but I’ve tried a fair number of Lemmy apps and they’ve all had some form of “create post” button except maybe some very early alpha releases.

    Eternity has a big plus icon in the bottom right corner, doesn’t get much simpler than that

    After you click the green plus (+) in Jerboa, then you’ll be presented with this screen featuring everything you asked for:

    The submit button is the paper airplane in the top right.

    Not on the title bar, but Liftoff has a really big button with plus sign on it. Hard to miss.

    Overall the app has a great UI.

    E: It may have sounded like I was sarcastic, I was not.

    Majority are very Reddit app like where it’s exactly as you described and that would be why. There wasn’t a general post button. You always posted within the subreddit, at least in all the ones I used.

    The Quiblr web app makes posting pretty straight forward.

    P.S. Im the dev of this app, so lmk if it isn’t clear lol I tried to make it intuitive + I designed it to autofill community details if you click “Post” while in a specific community.

      Does the name mean something? Its quite hard to remember and spell. Looks great though

        Thanks! And I wanted a fun name that was short (which is difficult since domains are expensive!)

        Also, I was later told that the “Quibbler” is a magazine in Harry Potter 😂 so I guess it’s fitting in a sense
