So this is something that I experienced with Boost for Reddit as well, but it occurred randomly: whenever I zoom in on a picture to see details, or read words better, within Swipe View I cannot simply pan the image around. The app seems to think I am trying to swipe to the next post.
So my way of getting around this is to basically tap the image lightly to get it to move around. Or to tap the post’s icon/image preview to open the image ontop of the app.
🤔 Any way to get this fixed for us that prefer Swipe View?
Swipe View is also my preferred view but damn does it come with its drawbacks.
To address your picture issue first, I also experience the same effect however my workaround is to drag diagonally while zoomed.
One other issue with images combined with walls of text. There is no way to make the wall of text disappear unless I find i separate post with an image tap it to make the title and words disappear the return to the post, or go into comments and tap the photo.
My other issue is “Mark as read / hide read” does not work unless you go into the comments. Swipe View gives you the whole post minus comments. I believe it should count it as read.
I honestly never thought to drag diagonally, but seems much better than my 10+ taps to see the pic.
The wall of text thing is also annoying. Fingers crossed it will get patched at some point.
