Hey Steve. I’m guessing the “Surf” theme is a placeholder? It doesn’t seem to do anything.

Running into a bug where images don’t load in the feed (seemingly random) but load fine when post is opened. This is one example of a post that showed a blank image icon until clicked
Full height image preview seems to have stopped working in latest build. I’m seeing clipped images even with the option toggled on. Worked fine in previous build. This post is one example:
I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.
- The duplication seemed to continue the longer I stayed in the tab and would cause jumping to other areas without any input on my part.
- Duplicate entries are clickable links that lead to the correct communities.
- The issue seems worse the more communities I'm subscribed to. I'll attach screenshots from the account with the most subscriptions, but other accounts show only one or two duplicates and my account with the fewest subscriptions didn't have any issues. I unsubscribed from a few on this account and am no longer seeing duplicate entries but am still experiencing the slow loading/high battery usage.
- Unrelated but certain subscriptions are missing from the tab, notably [email protected]. This community shows up under my communities in other apps I'm testing, but not in Bean; maybe because the display name starts with a / and the other apps are sorting by the actual link?
That’s really weird!! I’ve not experienced this myself. I know it’s a pain but would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling?
Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.
Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:
I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.
I’ll subscribe to a tonne of communities on my test account and see if I can replicate this.
Fwiw I tried this experiment again on my lemm.ee account to make sure it wasn’t instance-specific:
- 200 communities: no issues
- 201 communities: a couple duplicates
- 205 communities: more duplicates
- 210 communities: duplicates and communities out of order
The sounds used for up/downvotes aren’t all that pleasant, if I’m being honest. Maybe it’s the volume, maybe it’s something else.
There’s some issue with the time on the posts. It doesn’t match up with the time posted when opening the post.
Edit: just noticed as well, on the first pic 2 posts down from the one circled says “10 mins from now”. In the future?
Bug Report:
I have the theme set to “automatic” but the app doesn’t switch from light mode or to dark mode unless it’s forced closed and re-opened. Most other apps seem to switch as soon as you open them, even if they haven’t been force closed and closed by iOS.
Will you consider building Lemmy search into the app? https://www.search-lemmy.com/ I feel like this could be a really useful tool
It seems none of the links at Trending Communities are working for me. Do you know if it’s an issue with how they do their links, or something that can be adjusted on Bean?
They come back with “Unmatched Route.”
