Connect for Lemmy App

I wanted to say thank you for this great app to browse Lemmy. I appreciate all the work you're putting to keep the app alive with updates. I see a lot of bug reports and/or complain but not enough thanks and positive feedback.

Thank you!

Comments where I'm tagged instead of directly replied to aren't showing up in my inbox.

These screenshots are from my the_itsb@hexbear.net account, but I'm using this one to report since this instance isn't federated with Hexbear.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help figure it out! Thanks again for Connect.

I am on android and for long images, they hide behind the back/home buttons and cannot view the entire image. Anyone else having this issue and know of a fix? I went through that various settings but was unsuccessful.

Hey there, not sure if this is the right place to report bugs with the app... If not, I would be grateful if someone redirected me to the correct place.

The only issue I have with the app since the dawn of lemmy is image flickering whenever I approach the end of the feed. As there are less and less posts left, the flickering intensifies. This applies to post images, community/user icons, URL previews etc.

I'm having this issue on Samsung Galaxy A51, running Android 13 and One UI 5.1, and the latest version of the app (163). Will provide any additional info, if needed.

The added image is a screenshot of how I see gifs in connect. There's supposed to be buttons in the bottom right corner, I've been told. But I can't see them. Do I need to add them in some setting somewhere?

As the title says, some images load for half a second, then turn into a white "broken image" icon. If you then tell connect to "open external" it opens the image in a web browser, and that works just fine.

It's just the weirdest thing. The image loads, you see it for a split second before it changes. This happens frequently enough to be annoying. I'm not sure if it's just a certain file type or what. Maybe it's webp's?

Here's an example post that is doing it for me: https://lemmy.zip/post/8235310

As per title... You have a working new comment counter, but unless I'm blind (please show I'm blind), the actual new comments don't get highlighted when you go into the thread.

Been using Connect as my app of choice. Great work btw.

Requesting that when I refresh the front page, it also brings me back to the top. Right now when I refresh it remembers how far I have scrolled down which means I have to scroll back up to see new posts. Hope it's possible.

Keep up the awesome work.

In my inbox, I see a comment reply. I tap it to open the full thread to understand context, but it doesn't load. It can't find it.

If I do this on web, it loads fine.

Any possibility of porting the app to Windows anytime soon?

Is there any way to filter or exclude these? I know people post the same link to different communities around the same time to get maximum reach but it gets annoying seeing the same post 2-3 times in a row.

Maybe get the app to read the link, see if it's posted by the same user, then only show the first occurrence/post?

I already swipe to hide the post but I don't want to be hiding everything.

Anyway, just a thought and see if anyone else has a workaround.

The most important thing: I can't find Connect from the android share menu.

Second: There should be a "suggest title" button as in Boost.

Hello, I've seen a bunch of comments recently that are just grey boxes which take a good two dozen swipes or more to scroll to the bottom of. I assumed they were trolls at first, but I checked one in a web browser today and it's a comment that includes an animated file:

Example is from this post: https://lemmy.world/post/10322158

I can find more examples if required.

This has been going on since I joined months ago, so I don't think it's a recent update thing.

Anyway, if I click on a post of a news article or something, and then within that article click to a second (and third or fourth etc.) page for more information, when I then click the "back" button on my Android, it returns me all the way back to the app rather than to my previous page online. I'd love if it worked like in a standard browser and just brought me back one page rather than closing the browser window.

When I view this post https://lemm.ee/post/19859443 in connect, there's a link in the text https://lemmy.world/post/10234840

When I tap that in Connect, i get an error that it can't find it. It says error 10234840@lemm.ee unknown.

When I tap that in Firefox it resolves just fine.

This post causes issues. For more details, please read this.

I've got three accounts on different instances. When I switch accounts, it sometimes removes an account from the thingy on the left. I think it's related with the servers updating to a new version of Lemmy, but I'm not sure.

Not sure how the gif (?) is getting linked to the post, so here it is again:

This is only annoying when the detail of the image is not important and when a larger version of the thumbnail (?) would suffice.

If possible, can a notification bar be shown that the image is broken instead of covering the partial image with the link broken icon?

Thanks in advance!

In particular Scaled helps us not get overwhelmed in smaller communities.

Just a quick note that Instance upgrades appear to break Connect. It's no biggie! Just re-login and all is good. (Some of my existing connectons worked, some didn't.)

Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

Less Than three should make a heart emoji.

Let's try some more:

Less Than <

Greater than >

Less or equal ≤

Greater or equal ≥

Open bracket [

Closed bracket ]

Open brace {

Closed brace }

Forward slash /

Back slash \

There might be more, but I haven't found them yet.

I can't upload images I have taken on my phone. I get an error that says "unexpected character at Character1"

I'm new to Connect and didn't seem to have this issue on liftoff. Is there a workaround for this or something?
