I am experiencing a minor inconsistency: if I upvote a post in the detail screen, when I come back to the post list afterwards (in card view), the "upvote" button and state (i.e. the up pointing arrow button) is not in the toggled orange state even if I have upvoted the post, and the counters are not updated. The same applies for downvotes and also the vice-versa if navigating from the list (after the vote) to the detail. If I reload, instead, all is in sync again. Addition: If I downvote a post from the list and reload (to have it synced) and then I change my mind and upvote it, still from the list, when I enter the detail I am seeing the downvote state toggled and the old counters.

app version: 1.0.88 Android version: 12

Apart from it, anyway, this is the best Android Lemmy app in the market, you have all my appreciation and gratitude. Being a developer myself I am very "picky" in my choices.

Hi.

This is a simple suggestion that's not that important but anyway, here it is...

I noticed the comment lines RGB (red, green, blue) actually display RBG (red, blue, green).

Can you order red, green, blue please? Thanks!

Not sure if I'm missing it, but is there a way to browse all the communities on another instance?

Thanks!

Bug report (v86):

  • ~~Many thumbnails both pictures and site previews are showing error symbols. It looks to also include profile picture and sub/community icons/pictures.~~

  • ~~When modifying any settings Frontpage, Local, Subscribed no longer display content.~~

  • ~~Unable to reply to comments, pressing the reply icon does nothing.~~

  • ~~After posting this, it looks like image upload is also not working.~~

Edit** After trying another instance. It looks like the image upload issue and image errors are related to the instance I'm on.

After updating my app, I'm on v87. Setting configuration is now working.

Comments repeating? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by [email protected] to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

Hi,

While using Connect for Lemmy, as I am scrolling through the comments on a post, I always get to a point where the comments start to repeat from the beginning, even though I never tried to scroll back to the top.

What's more, if I keep on scrolling, it eventually happens again. I never can get to the end of the comments, because the list just keeps repeating.

Has anyone else seen this happen? I'm wondering if the arrival of a new comment causes the thread to start over from the top?

Edit: Connect 1.0.73 (73) on a Google Pixel 6a. Android 13.

Why don't they display in a code font at the very least?

Just as the title says. I tap it, nothing happens. Tried on a bunch of different comments. The FAB to add a top-level comment still works though. I don't see any update in the Play store, and no change when I cleared storage for the app.

I have an account there, and I've verified that I can access it through my browser, but when I try to access it with Connect I get "No posts".

I'm logged into my .world account but Connect seems to believe that I'm logged in my .ca account.

There is an option to sort posts by top of 6 hours, 12 hours, day, week and all but there is no option for top of the hour.

feature request (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 2 years ago by [email protected] to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

I can tell I'm using lemmy via connect a lot because I had 3gb of cache in it lol.

Which makes me wonder if it would be possible to have an option to clear cache on close, or some in-app way. Would be an awesome QOL feature for those of us that never remember to check until we're out of space :)

I've tried to share images and occasionally, I'll get an error. I'll open the image in a web browser and notice it's webp. I'll then have to convert it via a website to jpg or whatever. Is it possible to do this in app? Force webp into jpg so I can share it?

I think it'd be great to see the patch notes in app with maybe customization settings to display them on app open or something. I love exploring the new features and see the progress is app is making but I often forget to look at the notes in the play store.

If this already exists then I apologize!

I love the app and am excited to see it continue to mature.

How can I cross post something with Connect? I'm not even sure if that's something one can do in Lemmy.

When making a new post from a view that isn't on a community directly (all, local, or frontpage) it'd be great if the community name field autocompleted communities where I started typing the name much like it does in the side bar search.

Love the app!

I think it'd be great if when I view the link of a post, whether it be an image or whatever, if that marked the post as read. Which would go great with the already existing feature to hide read posts.

Additionally, a button on the main view to see or hide read posts would be cool too but not as important.

Keep up the great work, I love the app!

Edit: it looks like there is already a setting "Mark post as read on image view" that I didn't see. So looks like that works. But it doesn't make the title of the post change from normal to "read" like it does when you click it

This is quite unintuitive nowadays, as most interfaces don't require manual saving, especially on mobile. I've caught myself more than once forgetting to save and having to redo settings changes. I think what makes it worse is that the settings button doesn't stand out on dark mode, or change much when there are unsaved changes

I noticed that if my post has a '&' character, during an edit operation, all characters AFTER the '&' are not recalled during the edit.

For example, if I have a post like

Specifically this is shown

  • test
  • test
  • test

And the things I see & hear are

  • great
  • big

When I edit this, I only see

Specifically this is shown

  • test
  • test
  • test

And the things I see &

To go around this, I had to copy the text of my post, edit and paste over everything. Perhaps it has something to do with a list after the & sign. Not sure if anyone else has this issue as well

EDIT: FIXED IN BETA 86

After browsing normally for several minutes, all of the post feeds go totally blank. I'm also unable to see post feeds from any specific Communities.

I am able to reach single posts and their comments by tapping on a comment in my profile, however.

The only way I can regain access to the feeds is to totally clear all storage for the app. Forcing the app to close, and signing out/in don't regain access to the feeds.

What the title says. I have one account with a long Blocklist, and each time I try to add this account on Connect, it breaks something, nothing is showing at all (local/all/subscribed) and all my accounts are affected.

The only way to fix the situation is to clear data in the block list and to sign-in all my accounts over again

I really like Connect over most other Lemmy apps, coming from RiF. What I miss a lot though is an option to switch sides for images in the list view of posts. I know it's a minor thing but I would really appreciate having that option for right-handed one-hand browsing! Thanks for reading my suggestion, love the app! :)

  1. Occasionally I want to see the about page of a Community, but if I have all the posts hidden it is not possible to see the About Community page it seems. Keeps showing a blank screen until I change the sort to Old or similar (if there are more posts with that sort). Also sometimes the community will say Unsubscribe even if I am not subbed on the about community page

  2. I have feddit.de blocked because I don't want to see a lot of communities in languages I don't speak. I think still saw at least one post from this instance after blocking it...

  3. I cannot save the "preload images" setting to off in the beta. It is permanently stuck on lol

  4. Weird visual bugs. Sometimes the left sidebar shows "sign out" and doesn't show my subs. A couple of times when opening a comment on a post the screen will zoom in or maybe just enlarge the text on the screen? But it makes the screen unreadable for a few seconds until i back out of the post

I only use the block instance feature for my feeds and don't find the feature extending to blocking user comments useful. An option for the block instance feature to only block posts and not comments would be nice. I'd venture a guess that most people would prefer this and that there are very few entire instances where the nuclear option is necessary.

How can one set the Connect app such that the main feed only shows posts to subscribed communities?

I feel like this should be easy/I must be stupid...
