Had to use an outside image service to post the screen shot of the error. And the image wasn’t too large, it was around 500kb. 🤔 Hopefully this helps fix the issue. Otherwise, great update so far! I can also see the Messages notifications aren’t wanting to play along on my server at the moment lol. 🥴

Thanks for. All the hard work which you’re putting into the app. It is my favorite!

I was greeted with a beta expired message today.

Should I just start using the AppStore version? Will I lose any settings if I install it over the beta?

Thanks in advance

It is going to be expired in 10 days

Recently if there is a new notification and if I don’t read it, it just won’t stop popping up for me

Arctic is a (much) better Lemmy client than any other out there for iOS at least but there are some nifty features for the most recommended app Voyager like the ability to disable side swipes altogether because Apollo’s (reddit) double-tap to upvote for example is much intuitive where side swipes are used to enter and exit communities, posts, comments, menus, settings… or whole app together on Android or Jailbroken devices.

This is my multireddit link after removing u/user which were included as r/_u/redditor from an existing bug to test this for Arctic which would fully enable me along with a lot of us to leave Voyager behind.

Other Lemmy clients such as Voyager and Mlem do this too. It’s a small thing but huge improvement for people who are using search a lot.

I just discovered that it was in Arctic and I love it. This app is my go to one for Lemmy browsing!

Hoping they can add a hide post gesture like they have the collapse comment gesture. Tried to submit it on GitHub and it kept trying to make it a bug report argh.

I would love to see certain statistics about my profile, Lemmy usage and participation.
This could start with really basic stuff like how much I scrolled per day, in the last year or since using the app. But also things like:

  • overall likes
  • engagement generated by me
  • graphs (?)
  • how many comments have been written under my posts in total

I guess there could be even more things, that would be cool and interesting to see.

Hello. I am using the version 0.4.1.11 , my account is on lemmy.dbzer0.com.

I was surprised when I browsed my account directly from the web : around one quarter of the posts was not visible in the Arctic app. I tried with another app (Mlem) and the posts are there. It's always the same posts that are invisible, browsing on the "Subscribe/Home", or directly from the communities.

It looks like every posts I publish enters in this category : not showing in the Arctic app.

61
 
 

It would be great if we could select the language in which the posts has been written in.

This is already an option in the web UI I guess it would be good to see it in arctic as well.

62
 
 

If you revisit a post, there exists already an indicator that +n new comments have been added.
But it isn’t easy to distinguish which of the comments are actually new ones.
It would be cool to have an (optional) visual indicator at new comments to easier follow the conversation.

63
 
 

I see this error almost every time I open the comments on a post.

My server is lemm.ee. Does it not support the “mark as read” feature?

When you tap on a post that has a video link, it initially seems to show a Piped link, but it quickly changes to YouTube. I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be but thought you might want to know.

I’ve noticed that links often contain duplicative text if you don’t have the compact link setting selected. The post title is usually the link headline, and then part of the link body is usually displayed right under the title. Then, on the link, the same exact headline and body are shown again on the link preview. See image for example. Not a huge deal, but could save some space to eliminate the duplicative text in the link preview.

Multi-Communities! (self.arctic)
submitted 9 months ago by orangeNgreen to c/arctic
 
 

Awesome work on the multi-communities! I haven’t had a chance to extensively test it, but I set one up quickly. Liking it a lot so far!

67
 
 

This has been happening since the beginning, I just kept putting off posting. When I vote on a comment inside a post, the vote disappears if I fold the parent comment or if I scroll far enough that the voted comment goes offscreen. Sometimes the second attempt at voting sticks, today that isn’t working. The video shows the second attempt at voting on these comments.

I figured it must be just me since nobody else posted about it but maybe it’s not just me?

68
 
 

If you scroll back to old posts, the post where you stopped gets marked as read but it should only get marked read when you scroll past it, not when you can first see it. The current behavior makes it so you can't spot a particular post to know you've reached as far back as you want to go.

Can we get two seperate toggles for showing the full community/user names on posts please. E.g. [email protected] instead of just memes. Loving the changes so far!

Another test table (literature.cafe)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/arctic
 
 

Edge cases can be weird, so I thought I’d share one. We used a markdown table to create a bingo card here And it renders goofy due to word wrap. I’m not sure what the best solution is for this so it’s more of just an FYI. Maybe wrapping text in the cell could help? It also seems like it might be ignoring text justification settings in the table

Thanks a ton.

Hello. I just discovered this app. What a nice app!
I would love one feature, the ability to set a filter: hide posts that I have downvoted. It is a nice hidden option in Reddit. It allows you to stay active in communities where bots or people with an agenda are trying to push ideas without being angry. Just downvote it and keep going.

72
 
 

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm noticing on the latest beta, that some posts (haven't found a pattern) will open to a completely unrelated post.

Actually... usually it's related to [email protected], I'm not sure why (I could be wrong too). It's something I've noticed maybe 5-6 times in the last couple of weeks?

I've linked to a screen recording, hopefully it's obvious to you @[email protected]

I saw this comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?

Don’t know if this is from the most recent update but I just saw this post and it doesn’t show the image in the feed—just a grey placeholder box. Opening the post shows the image.

On a user’s cake day, the slice of cake icon appears next to their username like in the other place. I know Apollo reflected this, is it possible in Arctic?
