I just discovered lemmy and created an account on the web (because lemmur send me there). I can obviously login to lemmy.ml but not on lemmur. Is that a bug?

Edit: My account is appearantly "Mordor" and not "mordor" - even though I signed up as "mordor". Web client handles this but not lemmy.

Whenever I open lemmur since android 12 it notifies me that lemmur pasted from my clipboard without my express permission. That is sketchy. Idk how I feel about using this with that in mind.

Thanks for lemmur deves for making such an awesome app for Lemmy on android. I am grateful of you for this and more.

The story:

here I am scrolling this awesome app foss and fedi. Then I realize that I might have some replies, messages, or some Lemmy in app notification yet my natural instinct is to look at the bell icon for some sign of change. Am I conditioned in weird way to expect this "feature".

The request:

kindly add some icon change signal to softly alert the app user that they have a notification in waiting.

P.s. : I mute system notification for reasons and peace of mind. I don't mind alerts when I am using the app coz the app has my full attention.

I've copied my password from bitwarden, I can log in with it on a browser, but the lemmur app just keeps telling my my password is incorrect

I'm using android 11

In this release we have done quite a bit of internal refactoring which will hopefully result in a more stable and consistent experience as well as help us implement new features faster.

Notable new features include blocking and reporting. Also logging was adding, which will help us debug problems on users' end. Note: all logs are kept in memory and are not persisted nor sent anywhere.

Full changelog:

Added

• Blocking of users and communities (from post and from comment)
• Reporting posts and comments
• Android theme-aware splash screen (thanks to @mimi89999)
• Logging: local logs about some actions/errors. Can be accessed from settings > about lemmur > logs

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where post would go out of sync with full version of the post
• Fixed a bug where making a comment selectable would not always result in making the comment selectable
• Full post will now open no matter where you press on the post card
• Fixed overflows in various places

Changed

• User banner photo now fits better on user profile

Maybe there's something on sites like Weblate but I can't find it.

Lemmy 0.13.0 invalidated all authentication tokens meaning your current account will cause infinite spinners in lemmur. This has showed us that we should improve invalid auth handling, hence I have created a report for that: https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur/issues/265

I was wondering if there are any plans for a hide feature so that I'm less likely to view the same content repeatedly.

Hey, I do not have a lemmy account and I am quite annoyed that lemmur pretends somehow I have one. Additionally, if I discover content via [email protected] or [email protected] I can not react to posts. This is especially annonying. Is it that way or can I do something about it?

Added

• Support for Lemmy v0.12.0
• Show cake day on a user's profile and next to their name in a comment

I got a new android phone today, so I can finally check this out.
UI is great. Everything looks really impressive so far.

I'm also making this post just to see how posting looked. I was going to complain about the lack of a preview button, but I see the toggle icon for it now. It's clever!

I would love to test the iOS beta but it is closed. On github one of the devs recently said that it is available there.

So I'm thinking this may not be intentional. I'm using the link on the sidebar. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

While were here. I'd like to address theming on several context. on linux we should have at least one client that uses gtk for theming.

GTK (and other theming format) is great on linux.

On android however there is no such thing. sure you can theme the ui a bit but switching to every other app feels overwhelming because it doesn't look the same. a nitpick perhaps but I don't like it. All open source apps should use gtk themes or a derivative.

I've talked about this already, If you're on any instance of pleroma you'd see that they really utilize theming to the limits. but the other half of the time you'd be using your phone with tusky. but it doesn't look the same as the instance theme (e.g. disqordia, cdrom, udongein )

Compare all of that with just the clients. it just gives you a light mode, and a dark mode.

I think there is a potential for fediverse to get new adopters from mobile users. no other social media app is using custom themes like fedi, but believe me most of the users on social media are phone users. I suggest that in whichever way, devs should give theming options on mobile clients.

pleroma already has theme packages in .json, this should be a breeze to intregrate in husky.

The internet is meant to be diverse, Right? what's stopping fediverse from doing this

When will Lemmur get notifications?

Just started using Lemmur and so far it is really good and user friendly. It being on fdroid with no need for more repos is cool as well. I am sending this from Lemmur

Noticed that Lemmur is on AlternativeTo website (Lemmy as well, got a few positive reviews and 29 points!)

Can anyone tell me if its possible to create communities on Lemmur? I can't find such an option

The things are changing constantly:

• Lemmy API
• Flutter releases
• Material You (not sure if this will have influence but it's a big change anyway)

So I'd like to thank the developers for all their hard efforts to support the above.

On home screen, when a post is clicked, the floating action button moves to the right side of the screen and becomes a message button. How did you achieve that effect on flutter? Is it the hero widget? I have been trying to achieve the same effect on a flutter project without success. I appreciate if you could give me a heads up. Thanks in advance. And great job with lemmur really, I'm following the project closely and have been learning a lot from it.

Please read this post as it explains some weirdnesses!

Other than Lemmy v0.11.0 support this release added the long awaited post/comment editing and support for all lemmy settings.

Editing

• To edit a comment press the three dots next to your comment and select edit
• To edit a post press the three dots next to your post and select edit. Be aware that if you edit a post, you will be redirected to a new page with the updated post, so going back will still show the old data. This is in part because of our design mistakes which can be fixed only if we rewrite bigger parts of our code (which is planned)

Settings

We can split settings into 2 categories:

• Frontend settings (handled by the client)
• Backend settings (handled by the server)

We decided to not implement frontend settings on an account basis. This means lemmur will not respect some settings set on your account, rather it will store them locally and will be active for all your accounts. So for example, if you want to turn off 'show avatars' then it will be off for all your accounts, you won't be able to turn it on for one account and then have it off on another one. This is because we decided it would be confusing for users and would result in not-always up to date settings in lemmur. Here is a complete list of frontend settings:

• Default sort type
• Default listing type
• Language
• Show avatars
• Show scores

However, you can always import all of those settings from a specific account into lemmur by long pressing the target account in the accounts settings.

As always you can support the development:

• patreon.com/lemmur
• buymeacoffee.com/lemmur

Enjoy!
