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.
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.
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.
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:...
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?...
Just want to let be known I am very greatful for this wonderful app! I’ve used it every day for months and it has largely defined my experience with lemmy. As a software dev I know how exhausting it can be implementing all these thoughful features and I’m blown away by the quality/feature set. So, thanks!
@kuro_neko have you ever thought about making the app open source? I’ve used Connect for a little bit and I really like it, it would be really cool if the app was open source. You practically don’t have anything to loose, as you don’t sell the app or insert ads and trackers. Lemmy is an open-source plattform, and many (if...
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...

Image flickering bug
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....
i can't see the control buttons, like "mute" in gifs. (lemm.ee)

Request: Highlight New Comments

bug - comment replies in inbox don't link well
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....
Some comments display as looooong grey boxes (lemmy.ca)
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:...
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....
Any way to add the new sort options inside the app?
In particular Scaled helps us not get overwhelmed in smaller communities.
Lemmy 0.19 compatibility?
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?...

Version 1.0.151 for Android released on the Play Store Beta Channel (play.google.com)
Just saw this update in the Play Store. Thank you for coming back to continue updates. Connect is still my preferred Lemmy app....

Kuro ok?
I haven’t seen any comments by them in over a couple weeks.
