Connect for Lemmy App

Just posted 1.0.80 (should be live 1 hour from the time of this post), going to run some tests today and hopefully move this version into release tomorrow.

changelog:

• Improved the comment navigator to no longer be stuck to the top of the screen
• Fixed markdown previews on longer comments
• Fixed sorting changes not taking affect on the post lists
• Fixed always show comment bar
• Fixed the bottom nav drawer on the profile pages
• Commenting on a post no longer takes you to a single thread view, instead returns you to where you were
• Fixed a bug where comments would be duplicated on loading subsequent pages
• If the inbox is empty there is now a button to view the full inbox

1.0.82 Changelog:

• Adds text colour customization
• Improvements to image preloading and adding setting to control it
• Fixed a bug with community instance browser

Not sure if its new but the sticky top bar is very welcome. I was a huge fan of rif.

Issues so far

• Comment made not showing and/or refreshing comment is not working (tested both pull down and refresh button from menu)
• NSFW content is not blurred
• Feed sort can't be changed, stuck on what ever is set in settings

I'll keep this comment here so as to not spam with beta updates but I've just pushed beta 1.0.77 which addresses some of the feedback I've gotten here. the comment navigator buttons should behave a bit better and hopefully the issue with settings being blown away is resolved.

I'm hoping to just do some more tests today and possibly package it up as a 1.1.0 release for tomorrow.

This is the BEST lemmy app!

Some wish list items I have:

• for card posting display, please have an option for fixed width so super long pictures are text post don't take up the whole screen.
• Please save the setting I set when selecting sort by options (ie active, top, top six hours etc) I'm having to always change the setting each time it reloads.

Amazing app!!!

Sweet. Applied for beta. Cheers

It seems it always uses active for listing and doesn't change when you select a different sort

Signed up :)

€: how would you like to have feedback?

I'm on the beta now.

Love the bottom navigation.

One thing I've noticed, I tapped on the connect community and it took me into it, but I couldn't back out of it either using the back gesture or by taking the back arrow at top left.

I had to tap home.

Unfortunately Connect's settings aren't transferred and applied to this version. That's part and parcel with betas I guess. Eventually, it would be nice to have have a settings import/export feature. This would be useful in a variety of ways, particularly for those testing. If you decide to add it, I can understand if it takes some time; at your convenience.

I followed the link on Android and it took me to the version I already had installed and I didn't see any "Join Beta" options. When will the new test version be out.

Edit: the second link just says I'm not able to access the software.

Edit 2: The exact message I get when using the second link is

"App not available for this account Your account isn't currently eligible for this app's testing program."

How do I add my email to the testing program?

Edit 3: everything appears to be working correctly now. Thanks!

On Beta:

• missing some communities I'm subscribed to from the subscribed list. For example..lemmyconnect lol

• missing communities I moderate

• it'd be great to be able to favorite communities directly from the search without having to subscribe to them

Joined the beta!

It appears post titles run off the screen on profile view now, with no linebreak.

On that note, I love the new comment select view! I don't like that it collapses on its own when I upvote though, I feel like it should stay open?

Regardless, thanks for your hard work Kuro! Connect is getting way better every update.

Such a great app with constant updates, keep ot up dev

The latest beta (84) update nothing loads anymore :/

€: fixed
