Full height image preview seems to have stopped working in latest build. I’m seeing clipped images even with the option toggled on. Worked fine in previous build. This post is one example:

Suddenly I’m unable to post links. It keeps saying invalid url.

I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.

  • The duplication seemed to continue the longer I stayed in the tab and would cause jumping to other areas without any input on my part.
  • Duplicate entries are clickable links that lead to the correct communities.
  • The issue seems worse the more communities I'm subscribed to. I'll attach screenshots from the account with the most subscriptions, but other accounts show only one or two duplicates and my account with the fewest subscriptions didn't have any issues. I unsubscribed from a few on this account and am no longer seeing duplicate entries but am still experiencing the slow loading/high battery usage.
  • Unrelated but certain subscriptions are missing from the tab, notably [email protected]. This community shows up under my communities in other apps I'm testing, but not in Bean; maybe because the display name starts with a / and the other apps are sorting by the actual link?

That’s really weird!! I’ve not experienced this myself. I know it’s a pain but would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.

Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:

I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.

I’ll subscribe to a tonne of communities on my test account and see if I can replicate this.

Fwiw I tried this experiment again on my lemm.ee account to make sure it wasn’t instance-specific:

Bug Report:

I have the theme set to “automatic” but the app doesn’t switch from light mode or to dark mode unless it’s forced closed and re-opened. Most other apps seem to switch as soon as you open them, even if they haven’t been force closed and closed by iOS.

Will you consider building Lemmy search into the app? https://www.search-lemmy.com/ I feel like this could be a really useful tool

Hi, I found another bug: my replies in comments are not being shown under the right parent.

Here’s how it’s shown on Liftoff (and on the web page):

And here’s what’s on Bean:

Thanks again for your app

A third option for “view” in the main page would be great. Right now we either have the full view with a larger photo and article preview, or a really condensed one with the thumbnail on the left and a headline.

Not sure what it would look like, but maybe something in between the 2?

Also, a full BLACK/Dark mode would be great. Right now, some of the app still has a grayer UI in some spots.

Can you try the latest build and let me know if it still persists?

I was able to make an image post, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as usual. I had to reload the app to see my post.

The sounds used for up/downvotes aren’t all that pleasant, if I’m being honest. Maybe it’s the volume, maybe it’s something else.

Can we get an option to hide read posts?

This username appears weird

It should be like this (screen shotted from Memmy)

Quite impressed so far :) Some feedback:

  • More compact comments would be nice
  • voting on a comment sometimes leads to automatic scrolling back to the parent comment (happened when tapping through to a post via inbox)
  • scrolling has some hiccups
