No problem, thank you very much! I was just highly confused and had to double check and correct votes all the time :D

Thank you! I was very confused with the new look of the app in the morning! But I have not figured out yet, if the inconsistent inversion of the voting buttons is a wrong setting or a bug. The buttons are one way for the post itself but the other way around for comments. In other words, the order of the up-/downvote buttons are switched. And yes, I am the idiot with the tablet, using lefthand mode but not tablet view, again.
Edit: thank you for my save button!
For my small hobby project compiling was absurdly slow. Switching to mold really cut down on waiting time.
Edit: should have been a reply to "just keep the tab open"... Anyways, just keep the tab open. Maybe you stumble upon it again when closing some urelated tabs.
I still have tabs open from when I researched for my paper. That was... some years ago. It must be more than 3k open at this point since it was 2k already some time ago.
Fun fact: firefox many moons ago would take a veeery long time to open. That has been fixed for quite some time now. Also, I think they stopped bombarding DNS queries for every open tab... Fun times when you opened firefox and nothing would work for some time because the DNS servers temporarily blocked you.
Well shit, I didn't know that. It has been a long time since I touched Android dev and also never needed that knowledge.
One app I rarely use, uses some event that is triggered when it goes to the background or whatever. As soon as the app leaves the foreground, it shows the "saved" toast. It works both with the home button for the "desktop" and also when using the "open apps" switch UI (whatever that is called). Of course that is a step before the force close and is more complex to to handle for you since the editor window is not closed.
Thank you for putting up with my shit xD
Perfect! Have fun :)
Yeah, on first use it compiles and caches shaders. I think I was disappointed too from that when I first launched talos principle 2. But that was the only time it really affected me. For most other games you won't really notice.
Sorry! So from a user perspective, the navbar just moves, sorry for the confusion. The switch between normal and rail mode works. And both modes work. But when I change the setting in a way that makes the bars switch, any of them stops working. Meaning, the buttons are interactable and theey switch their active state, but their action is not triggered. Restarting the app fixes it.
Example:
- Be on Home page
- Go to settings
- Set rail from off to on (or reversed)
- Tap on inbox (or saved, ...)
- Active button changes (the highlight showing on what page we are) but the page is not changed (we stay on the home page and do not navigate to the inbox)
Also, I found out (I think) that when writing a comment, and in the middle switching to another app and then closing summit, does not save a draft. I assume, you only save drafts when navigating inside the app and do not check that. I mean I did not expect it to, just letting you know.
Thank you!
The app doesn't handle tablets very well at the moment
I am not really sure what you mean because I am pretty satisfied how everything works, actually. I am mostly just stumbling over weird things and just wrote them down :D It was just a bit annoying to reach to the back button instead of touching outside the popup.
I veeery shortly tried out the rail nav but I am not sure. I have not missed the vertical space to be completely honest. But I am testing it out some more, I think. Alsoooooo, after changing this setting, the navbar becomes unusable xD
I have had the bugs with steam not launching games too. However, I can't remember if I need to kill steam in that case. But I definitely had that happen too. But that is a very rare case that any of that happens. Also, it was not because of a specific game, because after the steam restart it would work. Not sure what the problem is in your case, sorry.
It is interesting, that you have problems with astroneer. Last I played was years ago and worked fine (ignoring degraded performance), even hot-join multiplayer (joining dedicated would NOT work). Talos principle 2 was a bit finicky to get running for the first time, but then it's flawless. Please mind that I only use the glorious eggroll proton because it is most up-to-date. From my experience, the chance is veeeery much higher that stuff just works and do not bother with the included proton version steam provides. For every new game I want to play I just select the newest proton-ge I have installed and that is generally sufficient. If not, I quickly defer to protondb because the chance is high, that one poor soul already tried all combinations of proton version and weird config flags. I should have reviews for both games on protondb too.
I hope you can figure something out. Not sure with your steam client but maybe an ignorable issue if you get the games to work?
Thank you so much! I did not expect such speedy answer and fixes!
I can't find out to jump to "all" or "local" posts of a specific instance.
This is not currently supported. Once you are signed in, the app will use the current account's instance for everything. I think a solution for this would be to have a special signed out account that can browse any instance but with no permission to perform any actions. I'll add this to the user requests backlog.
Ok. Yeah, makes sense that what would be hard to do if you currently expect only a single account at the same time. For me it would make sense to be able to switch to a dummy anonymous account, since I think that that (more or less) is the case when no account is logged in at all and you can still browse lemmy.world. (If I remember correctly that that was Summit but I have tried so many apps, I can't tell.)
Another issue I stumbled upon just before is at least a bit adjacent to this one. I followed a http link in a post to lemmy.world but your app recognized that and opened it like every other post. However I cannot interact/upvote with it because, obviously, it is on the wrong instance:
Incompatible account instance
There is a mismatch between the instance the account was created on (programming.dev) and the instance the action is taken on (lemmy.world).
You can fix this by either signing in to an account on the instance lemmy.world or by loading this page from the lemmy.world instance.
That makes sense. (The last "lemmy.world" in this text should be "programming.dev" in this case). But I cannot find out how to do that. In liftoff I would go to the context menu and select "view on other instance" and select my account on programming.dev and it would continue working. However, I cannot find something similar in summit and I am not sure (as a user) how to apply the suggestion in the popup (maybe I am stupid).
Also, the handling of this case is not consistent. Trying to upvote triggers the message above. Trying to "Save" a comment/post results in:
Unable to save post
Client error. code: 401. Message: Attempted to call an auth'd endpoint with the wrong account. Account instance: programming.dev Api instance: lemmy.world.
I think that the anonymous account would come in handy here too. In my imagination it would be cool, if the app could use a logged-in account for instances with logged-in in accounts (maybe for simplicity only one per instance?) and fall back to an anonymous account for instances without account. Trying to interact with stuff could trigger the instance/account selection and then open the post from the selected instance.
(I know, simply said in a couple of sentences and then it's weeks of work...)
Up/downvotes are on the left, but comment count on the right. Would be cool, if there was an option to have them together.
This is tough to design for. I played around with it for 5 minutes but couldn't get anything that looks nice. Is there any particular reason you want them to be together? The reason they are separate is mostly for aesthetics. You can try compact view which does have them together if you want.
Well, I think they belong together :D When scrolling through, I normally look at the votes and comments to judge how important or polarizing the topic is. I am on a 10" tablet (SM-T720) in landscape so both values are about 19 cm apart. All the content is on the left side, except for the comment count which is far off and alone on the right.
But I can live with the compact view if that makes it easier for you.
oh, it would be cool, if "save post" could be pulled out from the submenu beneath a post or comment.
For performance reasons the "submenu" is difficult to change/customize at the moment. If you use "save post/comment" a lot I would recommend changing one of the gestures to that. I will add configuring the "submenu" as a user request.
Thank you! Yeah, I pretty much never write comments but I do save. I have never liked using gestures so I won't use them but looking for the button is not the end of the world. I mean I also do not save that much. Customization would be nice, though!
Drafts are saved but I can't find them. A menu in the composing-post would be cool.
The next update will allow you to long tap any of the compose tool buttons to see a description. The drafts can be accessed by tapping on the icon button that looks like a page (2nd button from the left).
Ohhhhh! Well, I would not have looked there for them. Probably only after I would have stumbled upon it by accident while writing the text. More logical for me was in the top-right menu, but there you can only "save", not "load".
the community-popup (button on top left) has a weird "back"-history. A popup should be always first to close. Also it should be modal since you interact with everything in the background and can't close it tapping outside.
I couldn't reproduce any issues here. Tapping back always dismissed the community-popup for me. If you find a way to reproduce it 100% please let me know.
- $ Start app
- $ Open community popup
- $ Open a post (on the list in the background; not in the popup)
- $ Press the back button
- App navigates back
- $ Press the back button
- App closes the community popup
The most weird thing for me is that all outside the popup is interactable. Example Video (link self-destructs in a couple of days).
Though, that might all be a "me" problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for all the stuff you fixed!
Ok, thank you! You are indeed correct, that it is subscribed at some point in the future. It would be cool if there was some kind of feedback for the user that something is happening. In liftoff, the button would change to "pending" to indicate that the app forwarded the request but it was still processing. In summit I am not even sure if I hit the button.
No worries, thank you! Going to bed now anyways :)
