I’m trying out Mlem (looking for a replacement for Liftoff, I tried memmy already) and these silky smooth transitions are driving me nuts. I’m talking about the way text zips around when collapsing comments, or the way images slide in when clicking a thumbnail. I’d rather turn them off, is there a way to do that in the settings?
Hey there! We’re aware that the comment-collapse animation is a little jarring; this is something we want to improve in future.
You can simplify the animations used when switching pages and when opening the image viewer by going into System Settings -> Accessibility -> Per-App Settings (right at the bottom) and enabling “Reduce Motion” and “Prefer cross-fade transitions” for Mlem.
Disabling the comment-collapsing animation isn’t yet possible. I’ve opened an issue for this on our GitHub, and will look into disabling it when “Reduce Motion” is enabled 👍
Thanks a ton! You’re very helpful!
