Hi, no update yesterday as I was out of town but now we're back to the usual release cadence. This release brings an image uploader to comments (and other places), swipe to go back navigation, a new icon, and more.

Changelog

  • Added ability to attach images to comments/the post body
  • Added swipe to go back navigation
  • Switching users should now refresh the drawer correctly
  • Improved image caching, things should feel snappier now
  • Added option to force links to open in external browser
  • Added option to enable/disable swipe navigation
  • Fixed an issue with pinch to zoom images, preventing accidental closes when trying to zoom in
  • Added subscriber count when searching communities
  • Community search results are now ordered by subscriber counts
  • Removed a border between comments now that we have dividers, the goal was to break up comments a bit visually but the border isn't needed if we have dividers.
  • Added a new icon (credit to @[email protected] for designing it)

I'm looking into a issue with using 'hide read posts' where if the entire first page is read it won't load the second page.

Thanks! Is there a way to mirror APK images on FDroid? Sometimes the PlayStore takes ages to reflect APK updates

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's tough to know there's something there but you just can't get to it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Amazing update. This is looking like a good replacement for RiF for me.

[–] kuneho 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The update doesn't appear in Play Store to me for some reason at the moment.

I hope it'll be available soon uwu

[–] Angelus1727 4 points 2 years ago

It's out now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. I don't know how people are getting it. Something seems off.

[–] kuneho 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I've read somewhere pushing uldates to Google Play could take some hours... but I thought it take hours for everyone :P

oh well, sooner or later it'll be available I'm sure :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Should be available now! Yeah sometimes it takes a while to update. Not sure why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's there now for me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Small thing, but I'm pretty sure in the setting descriptions you want "affects" not "effects".

Also, could you make it so it's Connect for Lemmy in the play store for visibility, but just Connect as the app name on my screen? I know I can manually edit it but I noticed liftoff and jerboa recently did this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Is it intentional you can't down vote by swipe?

Thanks for another update 🎉

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The icon! 🤩

Swiping to go back is perfection. Thank you!

[–] twistedtxb 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got the update, thanks!

Bug report (was the same in the previous versions):

I don't see all of my subscriptions in the sub tab. A few are missing, including this community. I guess there is a limit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How many subscriptions do you have about? I did a shortcut with pagination were it stops at 100 because I didn't think anyone would have more than 100. Might be related..

[–] twistedtxb 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that's the problem, yeah. The problem with federated instances is that the numbers of duplicate communities is exploding. I guess one day it will be possible to merge or create multi-subs (like MultiReddits)

If I could add the community I'm browsing as a favorite it would solve that issue. Right now I can't access this sub either through the Favorite or Subscribed tabs. I have to manually search for it each time.

[–] twistedtxb 2 points 2 years ago

If "add to favorites" was inserted in this dropdown menu that would solve the issue:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Hooray! The Icon is looking great on live! Tons of Awesome changes!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, is there a plan for earning yourself some sweet moolah in the future? Been enjoying the app, donated, but was wondering if you had thought about that already.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Not really any plans beyond the donations which are nice. Right now I want to make Lemmy really easy to use and help grow the userbase. Maybe a year from now there could be a Connect Pro haha.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Do you happen to be doing some text sanitizing or setting size limits for password inputs? I have a complex special character full password that's 64 characters in length and whenever I try to log into lemmy.ca it tells me that the server is returning "password_incorrect", but I can log in via Jerboa with the copy & pasted password without issue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

After the update I can only seem to upvote/downvote top level comments. Does anyone else have this issue? Want to make sure it isn't just me before I make a bug thread

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I see that too. Going to hotfix it now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

👏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, this looks like a very promising app. Thank you!

[–] viss3 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Great! I want to suggest some improvements:

  • when I activate comments dividers there is no divider between the post and the first comment
  • when I active comments dividers and activate the option to show post bottom bar, there are so blank spaces between comments
  • when I close the keyboard on search bar on side menu there is no way to recall the keyboard unless I don't close and reopen the side menu

Anyway, thank you for continuing to improve the app

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anyone else the issue that setting external browser setting does not work? Everytime I activate it and if I save it it gets reverted 🫤

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yup thanks for the feedback! I'm seeing that too and will be fixed in the next release (tomorrow).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Getting an error on most posts: couldnt_get_comments

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that specific to a certain instance or across multiple instances?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Multiple instances

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I've released a hotfix (1.0.58) which fixes this issue.
