it’s not. the embed swiping looks cool and slick, but it’s actually worse ux.

- all embeds aren't glanceable/pressable quickly. this is more of a problem when there's mixed embeds like an image and a miniapp. - i'm personally not a fan of mixed horizontal swiping and vertical swiping in a primary feed. it feels off and feels like it takes more energy. i think it works well for instagram because that's primarily an image consumption app and typically all images in a post have the same theme so the flow is different than in a twitter like app.

what would be a better UX? What we had before just vertically stacked in the cast? Something else?

- separate images and miniapps/links vertically. - for images, if more than 1, then display in a 2x2 grid. - for mini apps, if more than 1, then display in the row format that doesn't take too much vertical space. - not too sure about videos. worth trying including them with images or separate, and see which feels better. tradeoff is more space vertically per post. but better overall ux imo.

The vertical spacing is the main issue. Might make sense to do what you say in the Conversation view when you open the cast or if we had a more media optimized feed. Our feed is still optimized for a text-centric experience similar to X, Threads and Bluesky.
