Profile image is fixed for me in this release. Thank you.

Now I'm getting nested replies in with my comments in the profile area. Also I had to post this from another app. Connect shows the name of the community you're posting to but it doesn't show up in the "button list" to select.

Edit: Also unable to edit comments.

If a community isn't known to the instance, Connect shows a blank page with "could not find a community with that name". I'm on a small instance, so clicking new communities tends to lead to this error rather than showing the community. (tbf the web interface for Lemmy pretty much does the same thing) If I first search for the full URL on the web interface, Connect will then find it. Is it possible for Connect to work around this issue, by maybe doing a search for the full URL and retrying before showing this error?

Updated the app this morning to 1.0.69 on a OnePlus Nord CE 5G running Oxygen OS 13. When it starts I get the splash-screen and it just stays there. Posting via LiftOff & Jerboa is still OK. Re-install no change

v1.0.72 fixed the issue

Idk if it's just me but rn there's no right swipe just left swipe. I have muscle memory from Apollo and infinity. So if we can customize the swipe gestures that'd be great.

The filtered words don't save capitalization, but the filtering doesn't work on capitalized words

Not sure if it would be better to apply to both or if you would have to include both in filtering

I keep accidentally commenting using the wrong account. I'd love a way to confirm what account I'm posting from, without losing anything I've typed. Maybe just add a "posting as" note or account selector near the community name.

I use jerboa, liftoff, and connect. Connect is the only one that has this kind of tracking going on.

Hello,

I randomly downloaded Connect for Lemmy, but I've never used apps on my phone for social.

When I try to view comments I get the error message "couldnt_get_comments"

I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. It makes the app worthless, but I don't want to give up on it if I'm doing something wrong.

Has anyone else had the error message and resolved it?

Thanks

Since updating to the July 7th update the app stays stuck on the loading screen.

The hamburger menu at the top left is really hard to reach, especially on a 6>8" S23 Ultra ๐Ÿ’€

A bottom navigation bar like ones seen in the Play Store and YouTube would be great, albeit material you-ified

otherwise connect is really nice :)

Tapping the post form submit button results in an error that says to pick one of the ten communities listed which I guess are those that horizontally scroll under the "community name" form field. So I guess I can only post to those.. not sure why it's limited. It's a bug unless I missed a new setting.

I had to create this post using Jerboa ๐Ÿ˜ž

Connect version 1.0.69. Also applies to 1.0.71.

My instance restarted while browsing Lemmy. The error message output is raw html rather than a user-friendly message.

Not a huge deal but wanted to point it out.

Version 1.0.69

Hi, can you add custom tabs when opening links please? Thanks!

Also, not sure if it's a bug but subscriptions are not refreshed on the left bar when subscribing/unsubscribing. Is there a way to trigger a refresh?

One more bug, just found out. I tried posting this using obviously Connect but got an error saying something like it wasn't clear to what community I was posting this even though lemmyconnect @ lemmy.ca was right there in the community field.

814
 
 

I've found that the text markup toolbar (is that what it's called?) does not function in Connect when replying to an existing post. Tapping on any icon has no impact.

However if I'm creating a post, like this one, then it works fine.

Is this by design or is it some sort of bug or limitation?

815
 
 

This would be a nice setting so my keyboard doesn't learn the names of certain communities.

I know Sync did it for reddit when not signed into a profile, any way to have it configurable?

816
 
 

After updating, clicking the reply button on a post comment does nothing. I forced closed and cleared cached, but still the same error. I reinstalled and it was fixed.

Now I added my third account so ive registered 3 profiles with 3 different instances in the app. And after that. The same error occurs. The reply button on a post comment does nothing.

I'm posting this using another app.

If I'm already in a community, and press the "+" button to make a post, I would expect it to be IN that community.

With a long list of subscriptions, scrolling to find the community is laborious... It should at least default to the current community if I'm in one.

When looking at subscriptions, whether from the side nav or the 3 dots, the community only gives me the option to subscribe. Since I'm already subscribed, I'd like to unsubscribe ๐Ÿค”

Edit: as a workaround the unsubscribe button exists on the community's "about" section

To compliment the gestures already included, would be neat to be able swipe away images on the built-in image view. Your thumb is already somewhere central from clicking on the image and so would be more fluid to be able to quickly dismiss the image with a brief drag up or down in the image.

That way these NSFW links won't end up in my normal browsing history ๐Ÿ˜

Is Lemmy Connect the first and currently only way for individual users to block instances? I know you can block instances if you host an instance yourself, but not everyone wants to do so.

We should be promoting this feature if indeed we are the only one with it as it has been in popular demand, especially lately, with Threads now being a thing.

Hey. I've been using Connect for a couple of weeks now and I like it quite a lot. One thing I've been missing though is the ability to quickly subscribe to a community from an aggregated feed (like All); right now, to do so, I have to open the community and subscribe from there. Seeing that "Block Community" already exists in the context menu for a post, it's only logical to have "Subscribe" there as well. Maybe it's not needed that much in the long run, but it will definitely help me now as a Reddit refugee trying to rebuild my feed.

Connect 1.0.68 Released (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 2 years ago by kuro_neko to c/lemmyconnect
 
 

Hi, Thanks for all the tremendous feedback yesterday. I tried to take that into account and add some of the more requested features. Things to look forward to in this release would be: Improved search options (with tabs for posts, comments, communities, user), user notes section which lets you add global tags to users that only you can see, and report options to comments and posts. I tried to address some of the bugs reported too, and hopefully settings should be working as expected through the upgrade.

What's new

  • Added indicator of how many unread messages you have in your inbox
  • Added 'Open' option to the about instance page
  • Searching for a community with a !community or !community@instance format will now take you there directly
  • Added total user counts to the about instance page Added new search page
  • The info bar on posts now displays above the image when 'Title about image' setting is active.
  • Added user notes (option on the user pages in the top right)

Fixes

  • Replying to a comment should now more reliably show that comment
  • Card views and lists now use even less memory
  • Fixed a left side padding issue in list views when there is no thumbnail
  • Fixed user profile 'Joined at' dates to be more accurate
  • Better handling of different aspect ratios for the user avatar in the drawer header
  • Adjusted some divider spacing on the post details page (reduced some unnecessary white space)
  • Hide read posts no longer applies to the 'Saved' page
  • Toast colour now matches theme

I'm continuing to monitor a subscription issue where some of them don't show up, I added some retries if the API call fails and more error handling.

Hey there!

Because the same communities can exist across multiple instances, it can be hard to keep track of which ones you are subscribed to. I think it'd be super helpful if community names had some kind of indicator whether or not you are subscribed to them; a small check mark, maybe, or a different color if subscribed, etc.

Thank you for all the work on this! Connect is pretty damn great so far.

I can't post any pics I've taken myself or screenshots. Can post downloads and pics sent to me though. So I need to message them to myself and save as duplicate in order to post.
