When tapping on the image of a post from the post feed screen, user will frequently get a placeholder image rather than the image in question.

If it is possible I would like to have an option when i block an instance to only block communities or to block communities and comments made by people on that instance.

For example: I'd like to block porn instances but I wouldn't mind seeing comments made by their users in other communities. It is possible to show the comments regardless by pressing a button but pressing it every time...

Hello, I'm experiencing what's in the title. When i launch the app, theme is reset to default (system). I don't think I'm missing anything here, as I see a popup ~~dating~~ saying that settings are saved. The thing is that settings show correct options selected, but that doesn't correspond to the color scheme i see.

App also crashes after a somewhat short time. Fastest way is to look at a user's posts, then moving to a community. It happens also while scrolling on Frontpage. I tried to disable all of those I think are the sensible settings. Uninstalled and reinstalled.

Thank you for your time.

When scrolling through posts, user will lose the top bar in the UI when scrolling through top level posts and in subs. Statically setting it allows quick reference to the sub, sorting, searching and other functions in the context menu.

i am filtering almost 50 instances and a lot of communities and have multiple keyword filters. when i decide to browse 'all' in new i get this error after a while: even if i try to browse 'old' or 'active' still get the same issue. i have mark scrolled posts as read and hide read posts toggles on, if that info is of any use. also i dont get posts too on the sync app when having the same amount of filters. should i spin my own instance ?

Reddit, and it's clients, have had the ability to suggest a title from the destination URL. According to several GitHub issues, Lemmy also has this ability. Connect should surface this functionally in the post-creation UX.

Hi, I've just been responding to feedback and implementing suggestions and release 141 is just that. Large new features are in-app release notes, customization for comment long-press actions, and community filters. Alongside a dozen smaller fixes, additions, and optimizations.

Added

• Added hex input to colour pickers
• Added setting to change comment long press action
• Added option to hide nsfw in main feeds but not inside communities (note currently only applies to 'hide')
• Added sign up button on sign in page
• Added sticky sort (remembers changes to sort)
• Added community filters (filters posts from communities whose name matches a filter)
• Added setting to control notification time Interval (10S to 12H)
• Added share and hide to comment swipe actions
• Added release notes to app startup
• Added setting to control release notes

Fixed

• Fixed table markdown in some scenarios
• Fixed the exit confirmation not showing when the left drawer was disabled
• Fixed issue with jumping to parent comment being offset in comment navigator
• Fixed draft comments loading the wrong comment while editing when you have multiple comments
• Fixed 'View full post' modal not disappearing on click
• Fixed theme setting not persisting
• Some optimizations to how posts are laid out, scrolling should feel smoother
• Small logo tweak

Thank you everyone for all of the support and suggestions, please keep them coming and we'll continue to make Connect the best app for browsing Lemmy!

Not something I've seen even in a reddit app before. So the first of its kind I've encountered.

Incredible and makes browsing /c/all so much better, and I don't have to individually block new versions of communities anymore.

And ability to change view between list and card without having to go into settings is also fantastic.

Thanks for all the hard work, and at an incredible rate too!

Hi @kuro_[email protected] I just like to report an issue I have. When dragging my finger from below the screen to the middle, it sometimes hangs and requires a device harware restart.

Additional info: I am using a surface duo 2. The other screen also locks up when this happens. The entire device is unusable when this happens.

Thank you

Could you let us adjust color in hex code rather than provide us sets of colors?

Please excuse this request if the option already exists, but is it possible to hide a community temporarily in the same way that keyword based filtering works? I watch some motorsports and for a given weekend just want to hide content from certain communities to avoid spoilers. I would prefer not to have to unsubscribe or block these communities every weekend. Is it possible to have a list of communities that one can toggle on and off? Thanks, I love the app so far!

Edit: Thank you for the 141 update. It solves the problem i was having!

I don't know if it's happening to other people, but for me connect is defaulting to Top All sort whenever I open the app to my front page or when I view a community. I always change to top 6 hour, but it never stays that way after navigation.

Anyone else experiencing this?

This just as of 10 minutes ago from the writing of this post begun happening. I noticed the icon on my homepage changed, and that's when the lag began happening. It fully freezes my phone for 10-20 seconds.

This hasn't occurred before today.

It even shows I'm on dark mode in settings. I have to manually switch it off and on every time i open the app.

Hi I've been using a Pixel 7 and recently I've found that I cannot use volume buttons while in this app. As soon as I exit the app I can use them. If I click an image to preview I'm able to adjust volume but not on a post or while scrolling. Any solutions welcome

I'm on version 1.0.120 (120)

When clicking the Explore icon on the bottom navigation bar, the menu that pulls up only covers about 1/3 of the screen. It's enough to type a search string, but it leaves little space for the results.

I think a better use of space would be to bring the whole menu up to the full height of the screen once a query has been entered, or at least allow the user to pull it up manually by dragging it upwards

I go to view a comment with two dozen replies.

My comment is #16, a direct reply to the parent comment.

I want to view the original parent comment. I click parent.

Screen scrolls up half an inch to comment #15. Cool. I wanted to see comment #0 though....

Can we have the parent button do parent button stuff?

If I want to quote a specific part of a comment to reply to it, that's not possible with Connect right now unless manually copy pasting the segment.

Ideally, the existing "quote" option in the editor should take into account selected text

When viewing the front page, if I "pull down" the screen to refresh, the contents are different than the "refresh" menu option in the "top-right" menu.

I like having the image posts be full width, and the thumbnails with links to be in the "list" format.

Just something small I noticed while scrolling through [email protected], where the empty thumbnails took up a lot of the screen

This is a fairly persistent issue that appears to be exclusive to Connect, and extremely annoying.

Any time a post accumulates very large numbers of comments (say, 300 or more), Connect will eventually just... stop loading additional comments. At first, scrolling down will load a few more top-level comments, but eventually it'll just give up and act like there's no more comments to load, even though there Connect has loaded less than 50 comments out of a 1,000+ comment megathread. Worse yet, if a user direct links to a comment on one of those megathreads, Connect will load a completely empty comment thread. This issue doesn't occur on Voyager or Jerboa, nor on the web UI.

I was trying to edit a second comment (grrr autocorrect) in a thread I have previously edited a comment, but the app always loads the first comment I edited.

It works fine of I use the web interface (on feddit.de)
