Summit

1. Search "summit"
2. Filter for communities
3. See that it gets sorted by your post-sorting type when you instead want Top of All Time, so sort for that manually
4. Go here to !summit@lemmy.world
5. Press the back button

Expected result: the search results should show what they were just showing a moment ago

Current result: the search results revert to whatever your post-sorting was

Way to make this a non-issue: add a separate sorting type when searching for communities versus other types of content

Thanks!

The comment linked below has a numbered list contained within a spoiler. It renders as expected in lemmy-ui, but Summit shows the last number in the list as outside the spoiler. I noticed the behavior on version 1.61.1, and it's still there after upgrading to version 1.62.0.

Description:

Please add the ability for users to search within their own dashboards — similar to how Reddit allows users to search through content from their subscribed communities.

For example, if a user is on their dashboard and wants to find a specific post or comment (maybe one they made a year ago, or something they remember seeing), they should be able to simply tap the search button, type in part of the post title, content, or comment, and see relevant results — limited to content visible from their dashboard (i.e., posts from communities they’re subscribed to, or their own activity).

Why this is important:

Makes it easy to retrieve older posts or comments without remembering the exact community.

Enhances usability and navigation across subscribed content.

Provides a familiar and expected experience for users coming from Reddit.

I have been trying to figure out for a while now why the hell posts would keep getting filtered by Active when I keep setting them to be filtered by Hot. Well, today I think I figured it out. I noticed that I put my phone down for a second, and after picking it up, the posts I had been reading through had completely changed,and they were filtered by Active. I filtered by Hot, rotated my phone, and lo and behold, they filtered by Active again.

Can this be fixed? Also, is it possible to implement default sorting in the settings? Thanks!

That 1 in red on top of my profile. It just appeared out of nowhere and it won't go away. I've tried clicking around my profile to see if there's anything to check out, but nothing.

Help! I'm paralyzed by indecision. Where should this "Cross-posted" badge go. It will be used to show that a post's URL has been cross-posted to another community.

Options:

Under the title	Above the title	Above the header	Under the post	Somewhere else entirely?

Image links on lemmy used to be nice and short(ish), but now that they get proxied they look pretty ugly - especially if an image gets proxied through multiple instances, which is something I've seen quite a few times. I assume this is simply because someone copied a proxied link on one instance and posted it on another.

Would it be possible to add an option to un-proxy the link before copying it? Not sure if this would work better as a global setting or another context menu item, but I would find it very useful.

Example:

Normal: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/288a95d3-b040-475c-9b8c-6fe4fe14fcac.png

Ugly: https://lemmy.zip/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Feurope.pub%2Fapi%2Fv3%2Fimage_proxy%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Flemmy.ml%252Fpictrs%252Fimage%252F288a95d3-b040-475c-9b8c-6fe4fe14fcac.png

And thank you for the great app.

Has Summit considered expanding its app distribution beyond the Google Play Store by publishing on third-party App Store platforms such as Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc.?

Rationale:

• Wider Reach: Aptoide, F-Droid, Uptodown, etc. have millions of active users globally and do not impose regional restrictions, allowing Summit to reach users who may not have access to Play Store in their region.
• Increased Accessibility: These stores support older Android versions and offer previous app versions, making Summit accessible to users with legacy devices.
• No Upfront Fees: Developers can publish apps on Aptoide, F-Droid, and Uptodown for free, with flexible monetization options and no payment required for distribution.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Uptodown, F-droid, Aptoide, etc. allow users to download, update, or roll back app versions easily, which can improve user satisfaction and retention.
• Security and Trust: These platforms prioritize app security, with Uptodown using tools like VirusTotal for malware scanning and Aptoide employing a blockchain-based approval system.

Summary:
Listing Summit on Aptoide, Uptodown, F-Droid, etc. would make the app more accessible worldwide, especially to users outside the reach of mainstream app stores, and could help grow Summit’s user base without additional distribution costs.

Changes so far:

• Fix a bug where some images fail to share.
• Add option to filter posts by URL.
• Add setting to display inline images as links in private messages. Default: on.
• Add support to show a list of communities a post was cross-posted to.
• Add setting to toggle whether cross-post badges should be shown.
• Fix more navigation bar issues.
• Add setting to configure whether the app delays loading large datasets until the UI is settled. This was always on before. This just adds a setting to turn it off. Default: on.

Update

I am sick. Nothing serious. It just means thing will happen slower until i get better.

At the moment, sharing a community link (by going to the community page, tapping on the white dots in the bottom right of the screen, and selecting "share") produces a link like this:

https://lemmy.world/c/summit?dataType=Post&page=0

But it would be far more useful to produce the universal link instead:

!summit@lemmy.world

Summit dutifully processes both links equally, but other users using different apps/browsing on their computer may have trouble interacting with links other than the universal one.

It would be nice to see the domain the link takes you in the post feed (for compact, not sure if it's already in other views, but I'm sure other people using those would like it too if it's not there already) like in the lemmy web UI. I don't always want to go to certain pages, and this makes that easier to spot.

I've been using summit for a few weeks or so now and I very much enjoy it. However, there's a quirk that I can't figure out. Is there a way to navigate to my subscription list quickly? The way that I do it now is tap on my profile and then I have to reach all the way to the top of my screen and hit subscriptions. I was thinking there should be a way to do this in the nav bar in the bottom but I couldn't figure it out. The "home" button takes me to what appears to be all instances.

The roadmap has become very very long and filled with user requests. This release tries to reduce the list of user requests. The final goal is to reduce the list of user requests to a more manageable length. I will be prioritizing easy to implement and high impact changes to shorten the list of user requests faster.

Full changelog

• Add setting to customize quick actions in post feed.
• Add recently used tags to create/edit tag dialog.
• Add setting to control whether video player UI should hide on play.
• Add setting to control whether tapping anywhere on the video player should play/pause
• Add setting to hide avatars for users without an avatar.
• Add setting to control the amount of margin between cards in the post feed.
• Add setting to change the behavior of tapping on thumbnails in the post feed to launch the content instead. This behavior is similar to web.
• Add support for "Controversial" sort order for comments.
• Update Patreon supporters list.
• Improved error handling for videos.
• More optimizations.
• Fix a bug where instance is case-sensitive.
• Fix a bug where tapping a notification does not open the app.
• Fix a bug where opening the app via a notification will clear the subscribed community list locally.
• Fix a bug where viewing an image in fullscreen mode might result in a no image being shown.

Update

Going to be on a business trip for the next week. Might be slow to respond, etc. Also I'm still working through a backlog of messages to look through from the break from earlier.

Update 2

Fix a bad crash. Releasing as v1.60.1. This release also tests a new settings system under the hood. It's only deployed for the theme settings for now to reduce risk. If no one reports any issues I will roll out this new system to all settings. Note: a successful rollout of the new settings system would mean no one would notice any differences between the old and new system.

• Fix a crash when viewing the post appearance settings for certain layouts.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Press Search
2. See All Communities I'm Subscribed To
3. Press Search Box
4. Start Typing

Expected Behaviour

Summit filters the list and I find my community

Actual Behaviour

Summit does a full search.

Honestly, that full search is horrible. Even the way the community search when you post a new topic is better.

There's too many user requests to track effectively right now. I'm going to focus on resolving as many as I can in this release in a short period of time. We'll see how far I get.

This release is done to flush all the changes I had made before my "break" from the app.

This is a minor release. Most of the changes for this release are bug fixes.

Update

Had to fix a build issue. Release will be versioned v1.59.1.

Hello! I am back starting tomorrow.

First thoughts from looking over the app is I am probably going to table the preset work for the time being. It's been a long time since the last release and I fear that the preset work still needs more time.

Instead of continuing on the preset work, I think it would make more sense to work on it slowly over time as I work on addressing things in the roadmap. The roadmap has grown extremely large so I want to keep it from growing out of control.

Will probably aim for a release in the coming days just to push out some fixes for now.

Hello!

More recently, when attempting to share some images to Element (chat client), I see the following:

I suspect this is file specific or mimetype, as it's consistent on a given image but doesn't seem to affect most images.

A source of an example image is https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/42991557 ...

In these cases, saving the same image then attaching it separately inside the chat client works normally.

Please let me know if I can help diagnose etc.
