LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

ROCKING IT WITH THE BACK TO BACK UPDATES!!!!!

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

This is exciting and it's great to have you back, churning out the updates and kicking ass as bugs get noted. Thank you for being so responsive when you can be here!

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How does one sign up for the beta?

[โ€“] Death_Equity 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The version number in the play store certainly is not '101'

[โ€“] ljdawson 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It will be shortly. Just waiting for Google to approve.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

As an Ultra subscriber and having paid for the reddit app long ago, thanks for the work you do keeping the app alive.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm assuming that's because this was a fully finished reddit app before becoming a beta Lemmy app.

[โ€“] scottywh 2 points 1 year ago

They're completely separate apps so I see no reason to assume one has anything to do with the other.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

discord. but the slots were offered during the early days.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm getting a bug where swiping to return from something (like this comment section) makes the app go black. It does return me to the previous screen, so it's fully functional, but the effect is a bit jarring.

Only when swiping back. Pressing the back button behaves as it does normally

[โ€“] ljdawson 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Looking into this. Can't reproduce at all at the moment.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about (in light mode to make it obvious).

I'm pretty sure it's meant to show a dimmed view of what is behind?

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm on a Samsung with OneUI 6 if that helps. Can't give any more info at the moment!

[โ€“] ma11en 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you see the age below when swiping partially or only when fully swiped away?

[โ€“] ma11en 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's black until fully swiped.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Here's what I'm talking about. Light mode to make it more obvious. It's supposed to show a dimmed view of what's behind, but instead shows just black until it's swiped away entirely. That is something the app has started doing recently.

[โ€“] ma11en 3 points 1 year ago

Ok, yes that's what I'm seeing too.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh it's way more jarring in light mode. I'm using amoled black with disabled animations so it looks fine to me.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's just as jarring in amoled mode, which I use when it's darker

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You find? Maybe it's because it contrasts with the back button animation? I have that disabled so idk

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm used to it being a dimmed view of what is behind, so being brought to a black screen and that view just opening with zero animation is not correct and pretty annoying.

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 4 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna try clearing the app tomorrow and get back if I still have the issue

[โ€“] ljdawson 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still can't reproduce this but I've logged it and will pop over to the samsung store to try to replicate the issue!

[โ€“] ObviouslyNotBanana 2 points 1 year ago

Cool! It wasn't there before the OneUI 6 update.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you add controversial sort to profile pages too please? Call me a masochist but I'm curious which of mine were most divisive.

[โ€“] ljdawson 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Great, thanks.

Can I ask why this was added in the first place?

[โ€“] ljdawson 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There was an issue with users uploading things they shouldn't

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah as in illegal things and not just porn? I suppose that makes sense then

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It always has been.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those gms changes are meant to address the unusual background activity?

Or is it unrelated ? :)

[โ€“] ljdawson 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just updating as there was newer versions available.

What's happening there?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wakelocks, Sync for Lemmy prevents my phone from sleeping.

As a workaround I have my app set up as "restricted" in the battery settings, if I change it to "optimized" it starts behaving like that.

This issue has been occuring to me with all AOSP roms, with MIUI/HyperOS it doesn't happen.

[โ€“] ljdawson 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you tell which job is causing it? The full name given there would be super handy, cheers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Ofc, here is the full job name:

job/io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService#3544

job/io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService#3545

The process number will keep increasing I think.

(I changed Sync for Lemmy back to "optimized" in order to get these errors again).

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sync for reddit had twitter previews right? any chances it can be implemented in Sync for lemmy too?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see how that can work anymore since Twitter doesn't allow anonymous viewing of content

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

it still works on sync for reddit

[โ€“] ljdawson 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly these were generated by reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

guess i have to check in with lemmy issues forum now

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Swipe voting comments still shows reddit voting color scheme. Posts have updated to the lemmy color scheme, though. If there's a toggle for this, I can't find it.
