Hi Lemmy! I've just uploaded a new beta version that adds support for Lemmy 0.19.4 features, this is the changelog:

  • Hide posts: Individual posts can be hidden now. There is Show hidden toggle on the toolbar menu (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • View previously uploaded images on your profile page, Uploads tab (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • Add custom thumbnail when creating a link post (Lemmy 0.19.4)
  • Show mod/admin indicators next to usernames in posts and comments
  • Fixed mark as read on scroll not working on some instances
  • Bug fixes and improvements

Thanks for using Lemmy. You're the best!

It happens frequently, which is annoying, I paid to remove the advertising, because I believed in the quality, but this bug makes it unfeasible to use it.

On some screens, long tapping a comment hides it, while short tap brings up options. On other screens this is reversed.

See title. In app playback for loops content (ala the in app YouTube player) would be fantastic.

I sometimes find it hard to tell at a glance if a post I'm looking at is one I have clicked on since they are just a slightly lighter grey than posts I haven't clicked on. Being able to set it to whatever color I would like would be very helpful.

When coming from an NSFW post, both the post links and any links in comments should open in an incognito tab by default, instead of a regular tab. This is the main reason I currently use the (pretty broken) internal browser ATM.

I believe there is an intent to handle this, see https://conn.dev/chrome-incognito.html (which also seems to work for other browsers).

Hi! Testing the app out. Is there a way to preload images? I've noticed that when scrolling, images frequently load halfway when they're halfway through the page, moving everything below them. I find this extremely annoying. Is there a way to preload images before I've scrolled them onto the screen?

Votes attract votes. Users feel more inclined to follow the positive or negative trend when voting. If given the option to hide vote scores it would give users the ability to vote without being influenced by how everyone else has voted, and maybe have an effect on what posts rise to the top.

If you want to get fancy it could have the option to show scores of things that a user has already voted on.

Not sure if this is a feature request or if it's already in here somewhere and I just need to be told where...

See [email protected]

It's a fediverse short video sharing platform, and direct support would be nice to have :)

I'm hoping it will also be easy enough to implement?

Hello. I am on the latest version of the paid app for android.

For the past few days I can not scroll past the posts that the app loads after launching. (lemm.ee, All, Hot) When I reach the end of the initially loaded posts the app shows a loading animation at the top of the screen and then eventually times out. I have force stopped the app and have cleared the app cache, to no avail.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to resolve it?

Thank you!

They appear as videos with progress bars you can't interact with.

Create an option where, if enabled, a post that has images linked in the text body aren't rendered and instead show up in a gallery like in reddit galleries in boost for reddit

I use Lemmy logged-in on my computer to post and interact, but I read it logged-out on my phone to get a feel for what people are talking about outside of my interests.
Unfortunately, the communities I've entered in the block list still show up in the feed.
What gives?

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

spoilerThis is a spoiler in my main post

Not sure what happened, but suddenly my Home page is always empty when I filter on top week and top month. Every other filter works. Problem only goes away when I uninstall and reinstall

Link to the post I'm not sure what causes this, when downloading the image, there isn't these empty spaces.

I love using boost but it would be great if there was a more obvious way to know what account are you loged in as, especially when creating a post (I tend to forget it midway and second guess myself). Having different settings and colour schemes for each account would be awesome too.

If there is a way to do this and I missed it, please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for reading my request!

I'm dumb and sometimes tell my phone to do things I don't actually want it to do, like hide posts I actually want to check out. I can't find a way to look at those to bring them back.

Hey all,

I recently learned that Lemmy allows setting the language of a post before posting it (for example, if the language of a post is set to German, only people who choose to view German posts can see it).

When using Lemmy in a browser, you can simply use a drop-down menu to define the language of the post to be created, but even as I write this very post in Boost, there is no option or toggle for me to choose the language of this post in Boost. Did I miss something or has this not been implemented in Boost yet? Thanks in advance!

I know, upvotes/downvotes mean less compared to That Other Place. But it would be nice if I could set Boost to not show all the spammy spam spam in my communities that have a score below a configurable threshold.

I've been helping someone diagnose a technical issue through Lemmy PM's the last month or so, and have accumulated a lot of messages back and forth. (Around 130 I'd say.)

When I get a new message, the total number of messages that I've received shows as a notification for a while, until it eventually disappears. (I haven't fully tested it but I think it disappears on reboot once I've replied.) Receiving comment replies or a new pm brings the notification back.

The screenshot shows what I see when filtering for unread messages. Thus, there are no unread messages, let alone 130 of them.

The entire conversation has been had in the same message thread. Not sure if this is a Lemmy issue or boost issue.

Sometimes my screen rotates by itself depending on how I'm holding my phone and then the list of posts I'm scrolling through goes back all the way to the top.

24
 
 

There is probably a link somewhere but it would be nice to have the essentials in the boost comment/post forms somewhere so that if I'm trying to remember how to link a user/forum/instance or how to strikethrough text it would be right there.

when scrolling through my feed, sometimes the text in the description preview scrolls a bit when I put my finger on it to scroll
