It does not mean that lemmy is less secure, but yes, it means that malicious app developers will have a much easier time stealing login credentials because entering them inside the app is already the norm. However this is definitely a feature that can be added so it does not mean anything bad long term

[–] mrlavallee 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Even though they are both fediverse they still are quite different and one of the important differences is that lemmy does not support oauth so apps don’t have that option, as for why all mastodon apps use it: it’s because of the security benefits to the user and (as a lemmy app developer) implementing auth is hard lol

[–] mrlavallee 2 points 1 year ago

Yes it should, the issue you might be encountering is that in the list it uses the (lower quality) thumbnail image and it uses the full quality image when looking at an individual post. After cutting my own network images will still load for me, I will add showing how large the cache is and the ability to clear it soon

Thanks! I'm realizing I'm so lucky this is over my summer break so I can focus on this rather than high school (not that I focus that much anyway lol), the timing of reddit going crazy was great for me lol.

Ahhh, silly me, I was testing marking read by tapping on them, the marking read on scroll got broken by the new tab view (starting to regret it lol) but should be fixed now (1.6.151)!

[–] mrlavallee 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Yeah, it’s meant to scroll you to the top, the posts title should be shown as greyed out when read, is that happening? Might be worth checking your settings?

[–] mrlavallee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also huh, it works for me, could you possibly upload a video somewhere showing what happens?

[–] mrlavallee 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Ah yeah, moving to a custom bottom bar had caused so many problems lol, should be fixed now tho!

[–] mrlavallee 2 points 1 year ago (13 children)

Ok added in 1.6.147! Does need to be enabled in settings first though, sorry I had to go to bed first lol

[–] mrlavallee 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! And yeah I’ll work on that next!

[–] mrlavallee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (16 children)

Hmmm… I’m sending this comment from the app right now (first test so we’ll see if this sends lol), where in the process are you encountering issues?

EDIT: Found the issue, seemed to be only with some comments? Honestly zero idea what the issue was or why my fixed worked (if anyone knows SwiftUI and wants to take a look at my fix I'd love advice: hacky lines. But anyway, fixed in 1.6.145

[–] mrlavallee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (21 children)

Yeah sorry that update was very rushed (this is what I get for still not wrapping my brain around the fact people actually use my app lol) since I published it right before I went flying, but yes should be fixed in 1.6.142. Also that's definitely far too much praise for right now, but it really means a lot, thank you!

 

I am thinking of adding live activities (similar to how apollo did), but it seems like it would be a fair bit of work and I want to judge how much the community wants it before I start the undertaking. Thanks for the input!

Lemmios Beta now has reminders! (testflight.apple.com)
submitted 1 year ago by mrlavallee to c/lemmiosapp
 

Lemmios can now give you reminders to check back in on a post when you’re waiting for an update!

Example

 

Lemmios is an iOS native Lemmy app with design language heavily inspired by Apollo.

Why Lemmios?

So it's a Lemmy app, there's no need to talk about viewing posts or comments or compact mode or other basic things, but Lemmios does have some features that other apps don't have!

Rich notification system including watchers

Lemmios will give push notifications for replies and private messages, allowing you to leave the app while still remaining up to date! It also has watchers to notify you of new posts matching specific criteria so you never miss a post!

Widgets

Want to see how your last post did? Want to see posts from around Lemmy on your home screen? Lemmios has widgets for both of those!

Other features

Search directly from the top of the posts view just like in Apollo, usage without an account, and in-app account registration and deletion to name a few!

Edit: We made it to the App Store!!!!

Hey, so this is just going to be a quick post discussing my frustration with app review and how I am hoping beyond hope that someone here will be able to give me some insight on the process and what I might be doing wrong.

Lemmios keeps getting rejected by Apple for "Users cannot have a mechanism in the app to enable or disable access to NSFW content; enabling or disabling NSFW content should be done through the service website" and I am extremely confused about what they might be referring to since I believe that is how Lemmios currently works. If anyone has any ideas I will try them since this experience has severely lowered my motivation to work on Lemmios.

For some context my current note to the reviewers is "NSFW content will only be shown after it is enabled on lemmy.world, which has not been done for the testing user, even though there is an option to blur it that option will do nothing since no NSFW content will be shown to the test user (unless app review goes to the website to enable it). There is also an attachment to show how NSFW content is labeled as such if the current user has already enabled it on the website. Also, to block a user, you have to go to that user's page and tap on the 3 dots in the top right corner and tap "Block". Thank you!"
