I'm curious how stickied posts in MultiCommunities are handled in other apps. I don't believe Connect is the only app that has this feature. Are they still posted at the top and you potentially have to scroll through a lot if you have a lot of communities added?

Currently, Connect doesn't put them at the top but rather chronologically, by your sort method.

I think it should remain at the top but if, say, the total number of stickied posts in a MultiCommunity exceeds 3, it's collapsed into a single option to open up a new page with all stickied posts.

EDIT: I'll just piggyback back this request here. Could a confirmation prompt be added for MultiCommunity deletion? It's too easy to accidentally tap on it and have to recreate the whole thing again.

Diablo's ears were one thing. But in this game, you can throw a.. labia?

If you view your account settings in the browser, there should be a checkbox for "Bot". This option is typically used for accounts that perform automated posting. So if yours is mainly a personal account, you may want to unchecked that option. The ability to change that may not be accessible through a third-party Lemmy app so you may need to login to lemm.ee on your browser.

 

I think it was working fine previously but I just noticed in v252 that when you try to block an instance, it blocks the instance of the poster rather than the community the post was made.

Does the issue occur on the latest beta, v1.0.252? If so, which instance specifically? I tried going to the different communities on v251 and pulling up posts seemed to work fine.

Is this happening on v1.0.250 or higher? A fix was implemented in that version and I haven't noticed an issue since. Even on the latest v252.

The update should be available to you in the Android or Apple app store. The only thing I can think of where it's not is it you left the beta program; in which case, rejoin?

Post overflow menu cleanup? (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by sirxdaemon to c/lemmyconnect
 

The post overflow menu includes separate options to view the user and community for the post. Perhaps this could be removed since the option to do so are available outside of the menu and I imagine few people are using it. But I could be wrong, if people think it's useful, please chime in.

Also, if the share button is selected as a secondary button, the option should be removed from the post overflow; the save button does this.

I'm not sure what that Unicode is called but it reminds me of blinds. I kind of dismissed the first instance in the screenshot but them I saw the issue in a post title. Links for the two instances.

Also, can you add saving of alt text to drafts? Please and thank you's. As well, when editing, you can't edit alt text?

 

Started seeing this every now and then on v251. Previously I don't recall seeing this. It only occurs when a profile picture has issues loading and typically is temporary; the error is removesd once the link resolves. Before it's resolved, it can be a hindrance.

I support apps being more verbose and error messages but in this particular case, I don't think the error message is necessary; if the a profile picture link doesn't resolve, so be it. Maybe on an user profile page, it may be more of a consideration.

It seemed like it was fixed in v246 but somehow broke again in that version? I'm on v249 and still haven't seen any comments highlighted.

EDIT: I post that and then it works one time. It randomly works but mostly not for me.

EDIT2: Specifically, I have the comment button as a secondary button and when there's an orange number, that means there's new comments but when I view those posts, most of the time there's no highlighting whatsoever.

Was working in a recent version but now everything opens in the internal browser. I'm on v247.

EDIT: For posts with links where the thumbnail is not resolving, the link goes to the external browser. For everything else, it opens in the internal browser; with the open external setting on.

Test (cbc.ca)

Previously, if you triggered dart traps in a trap-filles room, as an example, the timing of events worked in a way that if you scooted out of the room before time resumed, you would be hit by all those darts. Basically, when time resumed, the events that played out would play out as they did and you would be triggering those darts in plain view of them.

I remember the timing of events were change somewhat recently so I wondered if things have changed and they have. I was able to time-stop, throw some rations at dart traps and then darted put of the room before time resumed, walking away unscathed. So just an FYI for older players.

It was working in a recent version but I no longer see the highlighting in v244&245. Tried toggling the setting on and back on but nada.

A post he made awhile back is pertinent so I'll quote the relevant part.

Leaving Reddit (and twitter) was never about shutting myself out, it’s entirely because those platforms are run by vile people and I can’t stand to use them anymore. Back in the early days Reddit was 100% of my community interaction, and I admit I do miss participating in big discussion threads there, but these days the majority of my communication time is through direct messages (mainly email) and that’s been the case for years.

I'm curious what people think of the potential change.

Personally, even if the shielding is chunky, it'd still be a nerf to me. The current passive shield is useful at any health level, synergizing with a defensive build. The proposed change seems less useful.

[–] sirxdaemon 2 points 1 week ago

Yes ~~sir~~ insert pronoun here.

[–] sirxdaemon 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No worries. I FAFOed. And user notes I can add back.

First and foremost, I'm really glad this feature has finally been added. Many have requested and it's here. Unfortunately, it's not fully baked yet.

Filters(keyword), MultiCommunities, and user notes are not exported in v244. Domain and other filters may also not be exported; I didn't have those so I'm not sure if they get exported.

So whatever you do, don't go clearing the app cache and expect everything to be saved when you import. Like I did. I only have myself to blame for testing freshly implemented features on beta builds. Losing my user notes hurt.

I was looking at this thread and, at the time of this post, it's supposed to have 41 comments but Connect only showed a handful. Opening the post in a browser shows the missing comments, some of which were moderated and removed. One comment, that had a long chain, was removed but many of its replies were not and shows up in the browser. Not sure if the moderation action is the cause of Connect not showing the chain or maybe because it's long?

[Fixed]Keyboard pop-up bug (self.lemmyconnect)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by sirxdaemon to c/lemmyconnect
 

Recently, I noticed the keyboard would sometimes pop up at random times and I finally figured out reproducible steps.

Search any community from the sidebar and tap on it. Tap on a post and then tap and hold the screen, sliding it to the right. The keyboard should popup for some reason, even though there is no input field on-screen(after the post view is off-screen). This only seems to happen if the search field in the sidebar has text inputted. I was wondering why the heck the keyboard keeps popping up.

I have community banners enabled now but for people that prefer it off, maybe a share and info option for MultiCommunities could be added to the MultiCommunity overflow menu? There's no way to share or check a shared MultiCommunity otherwise and I think the banner setting is also off by default.

You can also file with just a phone call. There are a couple of restrictions so it's on an invite basis still. I found out about it after I filed so I might give it a whirl next year; if I remember.
