LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

ROCKING IT WITH THE BACK TO BACK UPDATES!!!!!

[-] mom@nom.mom 18 points 8 months ago

This is exciting and it's great to have you back, churning out the updates and kicking ass as bugs get noted. Thank you for being so responsive when you can be here!

[-] linuxguy@lemmy.gregw.us 15 points 8 months ago

How does one sign up for the beta?

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago
[-] linuxguy@lemmy.gregw.us 8 points 8 months ago

The version number in the play store certainly is not '101'

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

It will be shortly. Just waiting for Google to approve.

[-] linuxguy@lemmy.gregw.us 12 points 8 months ago

As an Ultra subscriber and having paid for the reddit app long ago, thanks for the work you do keeping the app alive.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I'm assuming that's because this was a fully finished reddit app before becoming a beta Lemmy app.

[-] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They're completely separate apps so I see no reason to assume one has anything to do with the other.

[-] boyi@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 8 months ago

discord. but the slots were offered during the early days.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm getting a bug where swiping to return from something (like this comment section) makes the app go black. It does return me to the previous screen, so it's fully functional, but the effect is a bit jarring.

Only when swiping back. Pressing the back button behaves as it does normally

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Looking into this. Can't reproduce at all at the moment.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I'm on a Samsung with OneUI 6 if that helps. Can't give any more info at the moment!

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Do you see the age below when swiping partially or only when fully swiped away?

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It's black until fully swiped.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Here's what I'm talking about. Light mode to make it more obvious. It's supposed to show a dimmed view of what's behind, but instead shows just black until it's swiped away entirely. That is something the app has started doing recently.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Oh it's way more jarring in light mode. I'm using amoled black with disabled animations so it looks fine to me.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I think it's just as jarring in amoled mode, which I use when it's darker

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

You find? Maybe it's because it contrasts with the back button animation? I have that disabled so idk

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm used to it being a dimmed view of what is behind, so being brought to a black screen and that view just opening with zero animation is not correct and pretty annoying.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Ok, yes that's what I'm seeing too.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I'm gonna try clearing the app tomorrow and get back if I still have the issue

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about (in light mode to make it obvious).

I'm pretty sure it's meant to show a dimmed view of what is behind?

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Still can't reproduce this but I've logged it and will pop over to the samsung store to try to replicate the issue!

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Cool! It wasn't there before the OneUI 6 update.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 8 months ago

Can you add controversial sort to profile pages too please? Call me a masochist but I'm curious which of mine were most divisive.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago
[-] wahming@monyet.cc 6 points 8 months ago
[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

It always has been.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Those gms changes are meant to address the unusual background activity?

Or is it unrelated ? :)

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Just updating as there was newer versions available.

What's happening there?

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

Wakelocks, Sync for Lemmy prevents my phone from sleeping.

As a workaround I have my app set up as "restricted" in the battery settings, if I change it to "optimized" it starts behaving like that.

This issue has been occuring to me with all AOSP roms, with MIUI/HyperOS it doesn't happen.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Can you tell which job is causing it? The full name given there would be super handy, cheers.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Ofc, here is the full job name:

job/io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService#3544

job/io.syncapps.lemmy_sync/androidx.work.impl.background.systemjob.SystemJobService#3545

The process number will keep increasing I think.

(I changed Sync for Lemmy back to "optimized" in order to get these errors again).

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 6 points 8 months ago

com.github. nipunru:nsfw-detector-android

Can I ask why this was added in the first place?

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

There was an issue with users uploading things they shouldn't

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 3 points 8 months ago

Ah as in illegal things and not just porn? I suppose that makes sense then

[-] spiderman@ani.social 2 points 8 months ago

Sync for reddit had twitter previews right? any chances it can be implemented in Sync for lemmy too?

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 6 points 8 months ago

I don't see how that can work anymore since Twitter doesn't allow anonymous viewing of content

[-] spiderman@ani.social 1 points 8 months ago

it still works on sync for reddit

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Sadly these were generated by reddit.

[-] spiderman@ani.social 3 points 8 months ago

guess i have to check in with lemmy issues forum now

[-] Whippygoatcream@reddthat.com 1 points 8 months ago

Swipe voting comments still shows reddit voting color scheme. Posts have updated to the lemmy color scheme, though. If there's a toggle for this, I can't find it.
