There used to be rounded rectangles around each post, now there's nothing separating it from the following post. I tried changing the colors and it's still gone.

Full Width had a bar between them so I'll use that for now...but I kind of miss the Card view showing cards

Search is fine, but there have been several cases where I have wanted to manually enter a community name and instance.

Search can be odd at times and being able to have connect at least attempt to jump to a community would be a nice to have.

Edit: I can now post and view cat pics. Yay!

Searching for "cat" or "cats" yields cat@lemmy.world with Connect, but not from web. "cat" is an invalid community.

cats@lemmy.world should be correct community and listed in search results.

Can this be fixed to collapse just the subcomment?

Hey I've been using Connect for a while with the Amoled theme. Nothing makes me enjoy the app quite like a pure black background.

With the new release, the background of posts in the feed and comments in the post is not amoled black but dark theme black. The sidebar menu is also affected. This was incredibly jarring and I don't know how I can go on like this.

I appreciate the hard work and hope this is fixed soon, thanks

It has been fixed

Typing. !lemm

Or something should list suggestions like the web page does.

This has happened 3 times.

I load the app. I switch from my main account to this one. I wait a few seconds for it to load. I go to the bready community. It shows the all feed but it says bready at the top. I try to post, it's as if I'm posting from all, not bready, and asks me to pick a community. It doesn't do this with homebrewing or 3d printing.

Subject line pretty much covers it. Say I get a hateful comment reply from user xyz, so I block them. I go back to my profile, even after refreshing, to look at my other replies, and xyz is still visible there.

I should be able to be done with hateful people/comments.

I've got 3 profiles. I switch between them fairly often to see different kinds of content (this is the only one that can see this community, for example). I noticed that when I switch, there's a chunk of time where the app doesn't have any of my profiles' block lists applied. So if there's a person I have blocked from each profile, spamming something inappropriate, I will see their posts if I refresh during this window of time.

I don't know if there's an elegant solution to this. Maybe whenever profiles are changed, the app could first revert back to Top Six Hour sorting, to avoid super recent low-upvote posts?

That still leaves open the possibility of scrolling down to the spam, though. The app would need to apply the user's block list mid-scrolling to prevent it. Is that possible?

It would be great if Connect would let us see the url for these sort of links with out needing to click on them. I always worry about navigating to a website that I would rather not.

Before I get into my comments, I just want to ask that if you haven't bought the dev a coffee, please buy him a coffee. Personally, I have bought several with the intent of covering for those who cannot. Our dev has earned it.

I am just going to say that Connect is awesome. Even through early development, when there were huge issues, it progressed at a good pace. And yeah, it has gotten super stable and functions great as a simple and easy to use Lemmy client.

I would also like to make clear that I respect this app as the sole devs creation. He/She is 100% able to direct this project as they see fit. Period.

However. One person development teams can be a serious risk to the longevity and stability of an app. People get tired and burned out. People have actual lives outside of working on a single app. People can just vanish from dev work. That is all normal.

With the recent Lemmy instance updates and some subtle bugs that are showing, my concern is that it may become a much larger challenge to keep this app up to date. In my limited dev experience, core API changes (or API bugs) are a royal pain in the ass to deal with. A person could spend more time just keeping their app functional instead of developing new features or working on minor bugs.

I was hoping that people in this community that have experience with the development of large open source projects, can contribute ideas for our dev that may make it palatable to open this project up to additional contributors.

I think the biggest things I would like to call out is that if this project is opened, it may damage any revenue that is being generated by this app for the dev and I don't want to see that happen. (People gotta work and people gotta eat. )

What open source licenses are available that would keep full control of this app in the hands of the original dev? (Is that even a viable option?)

Quite simply, other than opening this app up fully, I don't quite know exactly what I am asking for. It would be nice to keep full control of this app in the hands of the dev, while also allowing community development.

Just to reiterate, this post is not meant to be rude or pushy. If anything I said came off that way, it was absolutely not the intent and offer a humble apology if it did.

Pretty much all posts linked to redgifs produce the same error, which messes with how the feed looks and loads. Incredibly grateful for all you've done with the app!

When using my home instance, lemm.ee, the user avatars and community images of all communities and users of other instances are not loading. Instead they show a infinity spinning icon.

Since the release of lemmy 0.19.4 images can be loaded via the new image proxy. Connect seems to append format=webp&thumbnail=64 to an image URL. However, when this is added to a proxy image URL, it it not working. These query parameters are only working for /pictrs images.

Example of url that fails: https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64

Edit: as far as I can see in the json API, the icon/avatar url is delivered without the query parameters, and Connect is adding them. For users/communities on my home instance the url is always with /pictrs, so after adding the query parameters it still works. But for users/communities on another instance the url is with /image_proxy and then adding the query parameters leads to an error.

If you try to call up 196 it doesn't display - instead it seems to be lots of lemmit communities.

Instead of going to the Android community it goes to /c/all when I try to visit while logged into lemmy.ca. I tried logging out and back in to see if that would solve it.

Update: Not a Connect issue.

Strange. I don't see this as a pinned post on that community, but yet, there it is. Did an admin pin a post from another instance on .ca somehow or is this a bug with Connect? (Strange things are happening like this since the last Lemmy update. I can't tell if it's a Connect issue, or a Lemmy issue.)

I've been using this app for a few months and really enjoy it, but I haven't been able to find a way to change the default download folder for images and videos. Is there an option for this that im missing? I use the same folder for most other apps and this one being separate is a minor inconvenience.

I like to look at stuff inside the app, but rarely check the URL before clicking on a post. It's always irritating when the browser, or even worse, the YouTube app pops open.

It would be neat to have the option to get a prompt when leaving the app. Could be totally optional and activated only when selected in the settings.

Thanks, love the app anyway, just a small improvement.

When I click on a comment in the inbox, the thread appears beginning from the comment in the inbox, i.e. my comment, which is needed to establish context, is hidden/ not shown. Is this by design, or is it a bug?

Edit: an update fixed it! Thanks u/Veritrax!

That feed is not /c/cat on lemmy.world, it seems.

I just logged out and logged back in with no change. I'll clear my cache to see if that helps and will update this post if successful.

Edit: Clearing the cache did not help. Must be a Lemmy API issue?

Edit 2: NSFW communities are not hidden in the faux community feed either. Thankfully, they are blurred, but not hidden. Posting a comment with a picture from what was supposed to be lemmy.world/c/world. (Did I use "faux" correctly? I rarely use that word, so hopefully the intent shows.)

Edit 3: Ok, weird. cat on lemmy.world is broken from my account on .ca, but other communities are not, like business on lemmy.world. lemmy on lemmy.ml is also broken. The issue is more random than I thought.

Once I upvote a post, it would show me orange color that I have upvoted, but then as soon as I click on any post or change the page, I will come back home to find out that non of my upvotes were registered or stored.

This bug does not happen when I browse online then open the app. Only my upvotes through the app don't get registered.

Or is there a cross-post button when looking at a post? I haven't been able to find it yet.

I used boost for a while since I used to always use it for reddit. But connect finally won over and is my main browser, one thing I miss though, is in using the user tagging system, boost had a bright green tag on users you used this feature on. This allowed easy identification of your tags. Not saying comment needs to have it bright green but it would be nice to have the option so I can actually see which users are tagged at a glance

When I used Reddit is Fun, it really hogged up data unless thumbnails we're disabled. I've noticed that Connect is also using quite a lot of data, but there is no similar setting that I can find (there's an option to disable preloading images, but I'm not seeing what that changes).

Even if there was just an option to toggle thumbnails manually, it'd be much appreciated.
