Hi, past couple days have seen a influx of new users so welcome everybody! This release is aimed at improving customization options and some requested improvements. The secondary buttons on post cards can now be customized, added a 'Hide above' option which will hide all posts above the selected post, and the upvote colour can now be customized (also applies to the new comment counter and swipe action background on upvote tiles).

Changes

  • Upvote colour can now be customized
  • Fixed a bug with the subscribe button not being in the correct state within About Community
  • & symbol now renders correctly on posts and comments
  • global setting moved up within the Settings page to make it more obvious
  • filter terms now accept regex (should start and end with a "/" eg /foo/)
  • spoiler tags should now work for multi-line spoilers
  • Added a toggle to display comment debug information (shows id, children count, hot rank, upvotes, downvotes - probably only useful for debugging).
  • Fixed an issue where 'View More' is showing when it shouldn't be

What would you like to see next: Tablet UI or more granular theme customizations?

A few feature ideas if you done mins considering:

  1. A 10s pop up after a post is hidden to unhide it

  2. A way to see all hidden posts to find something later if needed

  3. Button to hide all posts that are above the post currently on screen

These were all killer features in sync for Reddit, not sure if the Lenny version has it but it's very useful. Thanks!

Maybe it was fixed earlier, but now I can finally actually login using this app.

I have a couple nitpicks.

  1. left/right handed is under Comment Customization, but doesn't affect comments or the comment bar at all

  2. When you do not have the comment button for your two button options on a post, there is no way to leave a comment top level, so you are forced to have one of your buttons be the comment button. Maybe you should add it to the three dot menu if it isn't selected

  3. if you try to comment on the Post Customization example post it comments on some random post. I wanted to comment on the kuro post :(

Love the app. Clean and usable. Can't ask for much else. Great job!

Maybe I have not figured it out, but can I not have it show only feeds from my subscribed communities? Basically I can select all and see everything or local and it is just my instance. I want to see a random selection just from the communities I subscribe to based on top best, day, month etc.

Also maybe a ignore list. Ie. I put cat in said list in Reddit and very few cat videos came thru.

is there a way to suggest ideas in-app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm glad to see the toast notification added to undo hidden posts and it would be nice if the option was extended to the Hide Above feature as well. I accidentally tapped it and a bunch of posts were hidden as a result.

Any way we can add the lemiverse.net search function into the app? I know how to find communities, but idk if there's a way to search for instants? I've also posted about it: https://lemmy.world/post/2737749 but I think posting here would also get more traction (also, I can't be the only one haha).

I'm glad to see that posting a comment no longer brings me to a single comment chain page. However, the app still puts my view to the top of the thread instead of keeping track of where I was, so I have to scroll down through everything I've seen already to get where I was. Is this fixable?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a look!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The thing that's been bothering me the most lately is the swipe-left-to-upvote being so close to swipe-left-to-hide. I only ever swipe to hide, so I don't ever deliberately swipe to vote, but having upvote be a swipe-left motion baffles me. Why not move that to a swipe-right motion? It's common for me to downvote, then attempt to hide via swiping, but the UI interprets my swipe as an upvote, which negates my downvote, so I have to click downvote again and retry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I see now this is customizable, that's great. I've eliminated the automatic swipe-left-to-upvote and -save entries

Is there a way to change which browser "open external" uses? My phone defaults to Chrome but I'd like to switch it to Samsung browser. Not seeing it in Connect settings

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Another thing I've noticed- if I switch to a different app, then switch back to Connect, it doesn't remember where I was. It just reloads all/homepage/local/whatever and puts my view at the top of the page. It would be nice if it stayed in the thread I was in, and remembered where I was scrolling before, so when I click back, I can continue where I was.

Issue I'm having is Connect not being able to render tables.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi, this should now be fixed on beta 129 (or if not on beta I'm hoping to release tomorrow).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Excellent news! We removed the images for this week as a precaution.

Strangely, this update cuts down the last letter of startrek.website's instance domain name, leaving it like "startrek.websit" and making the instance and its communities unreachable.

this is the only example I've found where it does this, pretty weird.
