Hi, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these so this will be changes between 150 and 171. I’ve been focused on resolving image and performance issues mainly in this time but I also added a couple new things too. Youtube links now open in-app (configurable in settings), there’s an option to remove special characters...
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....
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....
Hi, thanks for the feedback! I think this might be related to caching and the app switching from keeping images in memory versus loading from storage. Does this also happen on list views for you? Asking because list view images are much smaller.
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....
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.
Hi, thanks for the feedback and I’ve added highlights as an experimental setting in v163.
I’m still playing with the logic and highlight color so it might change more in the future. That information doesn’t come through the API so I’m saving a timestamp of when a post is viewed and any comments newer than the timestamp are highlighted.
I’m keeping a timestamp locally of when a post is last viewed and highlighting everything newer than that timestamp. If you use multiple apps it might not be accurate but I couldn’t find a way to access this information from the API.
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:...
Howdy y’all! I’m still enjoying Connect and recommending it to everyone, but I’ve been having more and more issues displaying comments, either when opening a post that clearly says “X comments” but ends up being empty, or when clicking on “View more (X)” on my profile only for it to disappear. Any idea why? I...
Is anyone else having the issue where you’re 30 comments deep into a post, you reply to a comment and when you submit it refreshes the whole post making you lose your spot in the comments?...
Two instances I have accounts with have switched to Lemmy 0.19. This is a breaking change for many apps, including Connect. Is there any news re supporting this in the near future or is it time to look for another app?...
Hi, this update is mostly focused on some performance updates to Image rendering and memory management. I stripped out the old plugin I had doing this and am now handling things a bit more manually. Hopefully this should improve the experience of long scrolling sessions. I did refactor a lot so if you see any bugs here please...

Some comments display as looooong grey boxes (lemmy.ca)

The back button takes me all the way back to the post comments or feed even if I have clicked multiple links in a post.
This has been going on since I joined months ago, so I don’t think it’s a recent update thing....
