As a former user of RiF, one thing I used a lot was filtering out media / sites I don't want to hear from, places I don't trust etc.

It would be a fantastic addition to keywords and users/communities blocking already in place. Like I don't want to see stuff from youtube, for instance. Or the Daily Mirror...

Keep up the good work, so far Connect is my favorite app to lurk the lemmyverse!

My phone coverage stopped for a period. I was using connect at the time and a comment failed. I initially thought it was a big but noted after restarting, it still was out. Then I checked with a test search to find it was all internet.

A few minutes later internet was back. Went back into Lemmy and refreshed. No data showing. I checked down-for-me for my instance and it was up. Refreshed again. No data.

Again restarted app and it was fine then. So, it seems he connection outage did not allow refresh after it came back, despite a restart during the outage.

This is just a super nice to have: Custom plugin support. ie: Something to think about during this stage of development as this app matures further.

As the Lemmy community grows, there are new functions that are getting released as separate apps and as open source that would be nice to incorporate into the "core" Connect app. Since our hailed dev probably has a life and a job outside of Connect development, it would be nice to be able to develop features outside of the main branch without causing too many headaches.

From a legal perspective, OSS licenses could be maintained separately from the main code branch which should push any liabilities to the third party developer. (I no lawyer, but this seems to make sense.)

Things like account sync between instances, custom community sorting and listing, blocking management (outside of filters and such) and many other on-a-whim features would be nice to develop on the side. The possibilities are endless. The core app could even stay closed source for now, which is totally cool at this stage.

The best functionally of all is that I could develop, test and YOLO new features myself without breaking everyone else on a global scale. If third party features become decent enough, they could possibly be implemented into Connect "core" at a later time.

I am fully aware this could cause a fundamental redesign of the application as a whole, so there is absolutely no rush. (TBH, I am thinking the implementation time of this request could take a couple of years.) Personally, I am a fan of applications that are somewhat modular so that is my bias.

Cheers, stay happy, stay healthy!

Connect should integrate with the android share menu.

The community selector should suggest the previously used community first.

The post title should be automatically filled from the linked site.

I like everything else about the app, but it's frustrating not to be able to set my subscriptions as the default feed.

Would be cool to have the option to still see posts I've seen in the relevant community, but hide them from the feeds

Sketchy when it just says whatever and then goes to some random site. Could literally be anything on the other end.

It appears to be white text on white background, making it unreadable. But tapping on it once makes it right

I'm logged in with two accounts on two instances, switching doesn't work.

When I click the three dot menu and select the other account, I just get an error notification at the bottom that says "Couldn't connect to

Zooming on static images is fine, but zooming on videos does not work.

While I personally prefer my SFW videos, I am sure the NSFW community would love this as well. ;)

Refresh one:

Refresh two:

Sometimes there will be three different pages? Regardless, it'll go back and forth.

• upload fields not cleared when cursor is not in an image link. When writing a comment with multiple images the image dialog shows the previous url and title. For me it's quite confusing.
• no progress indicator for upload

Under my profile, it says I have 3 posts. But I can't see them :( reasons why? I'm on Lemmy.world which I know is buggy, but it's been like this for weeks

When I try to reply to comments via the swipe gestures the whole screen gets moved to the left. If I go back with the back button it shortly shows the comment editor or however it is called and then exits the post.

I've requested this feature before, but I think it would be helpful in filtering out those spam posts that I'm sure we've all seen by new users promoting either products on Amazon or various medical drugs. The posts themselves seem to pretty quickly get downvoted heavily but since I browse almost exclusively by New, they still appear in my feed. I block the users posting them whenever I see them but more always pop up eventually.

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!
