Currently it seems the sidebar search lists search results from the fediverse, not from my subscribed communities. If I want to go to a specific community, I go to the sidebar. With a lot of subscribed communities you can't favorite all of them, nor do you want to search the entire sidebar list manually

Example: I am subscribed to [email protected] and [email protected].

When I search space, neither show up. Instead a bunch of smaller communities are listed, like [email protected], or occult (wtf?).

Connect 1.0.113 Released (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by kuro_neko to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

Hi, thank you everyone for the feedback. This release mostly is just added improvements that have been highly requested. 113 adds draft posts and comments as well as video playback for most video services. I've also added support for ::: spoiler tags ::: (although just a first iteration and I'm still playing with the styling), improved how communities and persons are fetched from remote instances (less API remote object not found errors) and some performance optimizations.

Changes

  • Draft posts and comments
  • inline video player (now muted and doesn't pause other audio sources)
  • better post truncation (ends on a word end when possible)
  • Inbox no longer limited to the first page, added infinite scroll
  • Post list now displays a small page header every 20 posts (clicking jumps to the top)
  • Enabling full usernames (@instance) now uses the username and not the display name
  • Fixed an issue where some comments weren't showing up in large threads.
  • post images now fade in (less flash)
  • Fixed an issue where posting a comment would stay at the edit page

is there a way to deactivate it? can't find anything in the settings and it's driving me mad.

If I try to respond to this comment, I get the language not allowed error:

https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/263669/-/comment/1189646

I checked my lemmy.world account settings through my web browser, and see that my language is set to Undetermined, which I thought was the fix for this.

I can only see a very small portion of my inbox when I go to "View All". The oldest reply I'm able to see is 23 hrs old. I've been receiving replies for about a month.

When I submit a comment, the edit window stays open. I then get prompted to Stay or Leave the comment, even though it's already been submitted. Is there a way to disable that behaviour?

Clicking on a video post now seems to download the video.

I have the setting of using external browser enabled

After the latest video player beta update, listening to my podcast is impossible when scrolling as it pauses whatever is playing if there is a video playing. The video on the screen is muted, so i think it should allow my music to continue. Is there any way you could fix that? Thanks!

Galaxy s23. Cannot change volume. Have to leave the app, change volume, and come back.

If you don't scroll fast enough, your initial tap to scroll will also vote on posts

A few times lately someone has replied to me and I click on their comment in my inbox to reply back. It takes me to the thread, but only shows a parent or sibling comment, not the reply that was in the inbox. But if I go back to the inbox and click on their profile, I see the comment in their history.

Most recently, this happened to a comment from [email protected]. They sent me a reply telling me about a containers plugin in Firefox and I just want to reply back thanking them for the tip.

Is this a real bug, or is it an artifact of how some instances are not federated with others?

Edit: Link doesn't seem to lead to their account. Am I linking it wrong?

Hi there!

I'm using connect for lemmy and one thing that bugs me is when using the WebView instead of an external browser. It somehow makes the scrolling way too difficult (you have to really exaggerate your movements to actually scroll).

Can this be fixed?

The workaround for now is enabling the external browser to open links.

I really like the app though!

Cannot post any comments whatsoever, I get a "language not allowed" prompt. What am I doing wrong here?

Feature: Horizontal swipe for next post (experimental)
Version: 1.0.108

I'm super happy to have found a Lemmy app with the "swipe for next post" feature, and I wanted to provide two suggestions to make this feature even better:

  1. I think it would be more intuitive if the "swiping back" gesture went to the previous post, rather than out to the main scroll feed.

  2. As I don't use swiping gestures on comments, I would find it useful if the "swipe for next post" area were extended to include the comments section when comment swipe actions are disabled.

I hope this feedback is helpful. Many thanks to the developers for such an already great Lemmy app!

It'd be better to be able to track the bugs and features being suggested in a real issue tracker. The Lemmy format isn't a great place to track and organize these suggestions.

If you want the app to remain closed source, you can create a GitHub repo with a README.md, and simply use its issue tracker. There are a lot of options, but this is a popular one.

Is it possible to not "hide the read post" while visiting a community? I prefer the read posts hidden from the front page, all and local but not on the community wall or search. Any way to achieve this?

Is there a way to have a swipe gesture that dismisses an image after clicking on it, like an imgur like? Looking to replicate the swipe behavior of Relay for Reddit. Thanks in advance for any tips/advice!

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

When the side bar is visible in the left of the screen, if I tab the back button, the app asks in I want to quit. Instead, it should close the side bar first, then ask if I want to quit if back is tapped again 👍

When I open an image, the image moves up or down on the screen before stopping in the middle. It would be great to be able to disable this. Thanks!

I often follow a web link and then click on another link on the web page. When I swipe back, I expect to go back to the original web page, but it goes all the way back to Lemmy page where I started.

I am using Google Pixel 6, this is only way to go back, so not sure if this is unique to Pixels.

Hi, updated the app and tried again but "download" does not seem to do anything, or at least I cannot find the pictures in my gallery. Does the download folder have to be configured somewhere? Couldn't find the setting. Thanks!

When typing replies the text box does not scroll down as you type. So after a few lines the text starts getting buried under the keyboard. You can't even manually scroll down the page to bring your typing into view.

For me, this renders the whole app useless.
