Can you at least give the option to view feeds chronologically rather than having heartbeat prioritize posts by engagement? Members are not seeing important recent posts when scrolling through their feed and instead, seeing old posts from a week ago. This creates a negative member experience. They're missing things that are important, and seeing old posts that are no longer relevant, only because that post had high engagement. This current methodology is unhelpful, from a pragmatic standpoint, as recent posts are getting buried and missed. It would be great if all members saw the same home feed, with the most recent posts up top.

Images are being cropped now in the browser and app, cutting off information on our graphics and looking awful.

I'd like to click through and see their information - the images are too small for me to see who voted for what. Bonus: can I download or interact with this information? (Send them a DM from there, see how they voted in other polls, etc)

Users, especially, should be able to bookmark posts that are useful to them so they can revisit to get the most out of their memberships.

I’m surprised the Heartbeat app doesn’t have the functionality to report a post/user (pretty sure this is a requirement for Apple iOS from memory)! It’s surely a really important feature to keep communities safe too.

Please add access to custom emojis when editing a channel. See screencapture provided below for clarity.

A feature I'd love to have is anonymous posts and comments as my genre is a sensitive background. Currently using another community that has this feature

I lock my 'pinned' posts, so that comments cannot be added below it (New Posts can still be added below that 'pinned' post.) However, despite using this technique, those Users on Heartbeat App accidentally still try to create a new post by attempting to 'comment' on the pinned post. I have determined that these Users are not noticing the circle icon in the lower right corner of the Heartbeat App (to create a new post) because they are being distracted/misled, as they still see "Write a comment..." being shown BELOW all [Locked] posts - despite these posts being [Locked]. We need the Heartbeat DEVs to prevent "Write a comment..." from being shown WHEN a post is [Locked] to improve the User experience - please see screencapture provided for clarification.

It'd be nice to be able to see which links were clicked in our posts and by who.

The ability to place images and videos anywhere in a post that we select.
