So I’ve been testing out various Lemmy clients these past few weeks, and while Connect’s my favorite so far, here are some things I picked up:

• Instance downtime notifications would be useful

• “Default sort for Posts” shouldn’t follow the most recent selection

• “Preload images” (and videos) should be configurable separately for wi-fi and cellular

• An actual blur would look better than the red NSFW overlay

• “Show Upvotes and Downvotes” is fine, but percentages would be more convenient

• “Scrolling past Posts marks as read” can be unreliable

• Swipes aren’t fully exploited: disabling right swipes to accommodate people using Android devices like iPhones is debatable, but right edge swipes could easily be used to open “About Community” for example

• The animation when opening a post’s action menu causes more “misclicks” than anything

• Probably Lemmy-related, but a global block for communities (rather than per-instance) would save time

• When sharing content, opening apps like Telegram within Connect is impractical

• The expected behavior when pressing the back button repeatedly is to go back to the homepage then exit, not open the menu even when the top search drawer is open

• The Android navigation bar is always black regardless of the current theme

• Live search often doesn’t return exact matches unless expanded, which should also be doable by pressing Enter

• Since comments aren’t colored by default, “+X points” would help distinguish from “-X points”, and it should either be “point” for 0 and +/-1 or “point(s)” for everything

• Comment action bars should collapse after said actions are taken

• When commenting, an auto-search after typing c/ or u/ would be useful

• Draft previews don’t seem to work

• Your own posts shouldn’t ever get hidden

• An “Upvoted Posts” history would be nice

Now, this is all obviously subjective so feel free to disagree, but hopefully it’ll still help somewhat.
