  • Wow this is a HUGE update. Amazing work!

    Wanted to point out a few more things I've noticed

    • I've noticed that some settings don't persist after Connect is updated. I'm not sure if that's because the settings pane changes with new options hence it can't be persisted but just something I noticed
    • It would be nice to have a drafts section for comments and posts such that you can temporarily save it and come back to editing it and finishing it up.
    • It would be awesome to see a preview of either the post or comment that you are replying to with the username there as we so you have reference as to what you are replying to.
    • When you tap to bring up the menu to interact with comments, maybe a setting to squish the icons to either the right or left would be nice to have for those who are browsing with one hand
    • It would also be nice to have an indicator of how many Unread messages you have in your inbox beside the word Inbox in the menu and possibly even on the hamburger menu itself to alert you to look into the menu
    • In the About Instance page, I've noticed that the total subscribers count doesn't show, but it does in the About Community page.
    • When you tap on the About Instance menu, it takes you to a new window context as expected to show you the necessary details and when you navigate back, it takes you back to where you were as expected. However, in the About Community page, it seems to be more of an overlay in the same context such that if you do navigate back, it takes you completely out of the post that you were viewing when you had clicked About Community.
    • In the About Instance and About Community pages, would be nice to have an Open context menu to open it up externally on a web browser as well. I think it's only there in About Community at the moment.
    • Would you be able to allow to search for Communities that may not exist in the Instance search using the full address ([email protected]) like we can on the Lemmy web app
  • Connect 1.0.59 Released
  • Excellent update as always!

    A couple of bugs I've noticed.

    • The new fixed thumbnail height toggle doesn't actually seem to work for fullwidth despite it saying so
    • The area for me to tap to see the comments menu or hold to hide and unhide the comments seems to be only on areas where there is text and not the whole section. This makes it hard to interact with comments that are very short on text.
    • There don't seem to be clear card like dividers in card view mode between posts when using the AMOLED dark mode
  • Connect 1.0.57 Released
  • Ah you're right, I think the black border is what made it seem like it wasn't there. I haven't tried but I wonder how it will be with custom colours set in Android. Would be nice to follow the material design colours that are set!

  • Connect 1.0.57 Released
  • I'm not sure if this is already on your list of things to do, but I've noticed the Inbox and Profile page (with all your posts) do not adhere to the posts and border styles that are set in settings.

    It looks like the older interface and doesn't have the sub-comment side colour borders either.

  • Secure way to allow external access to Home Assistant

    Hey all!

    I'm fairly new to Home Assistant and have just created a few dashboards to be able to view my router statistics and be able to restart them via REST if need be. Love being able to do this seamlessly from one place.

    It got me thinking however, that I can only really access the dashboard when I'm on my internal network. I know that there is a paid Home Assistant cloud that would enable me to view my dashboards and such publicly and securely, but I was wondering if this community has set it up themselves for free and securely.

    Would anyone be able to guide me in the right direction?

  • Absolutely love how you listen to so much of our feedback. This app is truly built for the people haha.

    Are you planning to open source it at all?

    Also, I've noticed that the about community and instance pages either don't show the user metrics or just show some of the user metrics and not all of them anymore since this update. Not sure if it's a bug or intentional.

  • Connect 1.0.44 Released
  • Love the new community options that are present!

    A few things I'd like to add as feedback if that's ok!

    • The community drawer has the 3 dot menu beside each community and I think that would be a great spot to have the "About Community" option show up in addition of where it is now (by having to go into the community from the drawer and then using the menu from the top right)
    • There should also be a way to view the entire instance about page as well (such as lemmy.ca) with all the necessary info and user counts and such!
    • When replying to a post directly, it should show the original post on the top for reference. Similarly to how it shows the original comment when you're replying to a comment
    • On the same note of replying, when replying to a post or comment in general, it would be nice to see the username of the original poster/comment in the event you need to refer to them
    • When theres a new item in your inbox, it should show somehow (possibly an indicator on the main hamburger menu and also beside the Inbox menu item in the drawer).
    • I've noticed that sometimes as you're browsing around, the animation of opening and closing posts either breaks or becomes much faster than normal. I have no idea how to consistently reproduce it but it happens adhoc. Not a big issue but just so you're aware in case you notice it yourself and are able to find a fix.

    Love the app!

  • Amoled Colours with borders

    Just wanted to start off by saying that this app is absolutely amazing and love the pace at which it is being updated.

    I'd also like to help by requesting a feature that I think would make the AMOLED appearance look better. Similar to the default dark mode, it would be nice if the AMOLED dark mode had the same card like rounded borders. That would make it much easier to see the separation between each post. The bottom navigation should also be darker I would think or allow for auto-hiding it when scrolling.

    In addition to that, I think the green colour that's being used for upvotes should also be much more vibrant. It becomes a little difficult to tell it apart from the normal white colour especially since I'm colour blind :)

    Feature Request: View community and instance details

    It would be awesome to have a way to view the details of a community and all of the associated user details such as how many subscribers total, per hour, and etc. The same should be available to view for an instance as well.

    I can't seem to find a way to do that yet.

  • Loving the pace of the updates! Amazing update.

    I like the full width option that was introduced, but one thing I would add to that is to still round the edges similar to the cards. It then makes it a whole lot easier to know when one post ends and another one begins!

  • Subscribed/Top Day: no posts
  • Just tried this on v0.9.12 and I'm still seeing a blank Subscribed page on load of the app. I have to manually go and select one of the options under my specific lemmy instance for posts to show up.

    Also on a side note, it would be awesome to be able to have the app jump to the exact comment within a post when I click on the "go to post" button under a comment I've made in my profile. Would save time having to scroll through all comments to find the one I've been replied to!
