[WIP][v1.85.0] A small release (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

1 comments fedilink

Going to keep this release "small" so I can push some improvements out.

The biggest change is going to be a post/comment loading refactor. This should offer some minor user experience improvements such as adding in some missing loading indicators or error messages. It should also improve post/comment loading performance and eliminate some edge case bugs.

Changes so far:

Refactor post/comment loading
Fix issue where hide duplicate post feature was keying off the wrong preference (it was keying off whether hidden posts were enabled).
Fix all comments expanding when the "collapse comments by default" setting is on.
Fix a bug where the number of local subscribers is being reported as the total subscribers on PieFed.
Fix a bug where the the bottom bar becomes visible after tapping on an image in a post if the setting "lock navigation bar" is enabled.
Add setting for displaying pronouns next to names when available. Default on.
Add a new setting page called "People". Settings that change how people are displayed will be moved to this new page.
Add setting for displaying a "BOT" label next to bots. Default on.

[Release][v1.84.3] Local community stats (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 4 days ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

12 comments fedilink

This release adds a new option when a community link is long clicked: Local community stats. It shows you useful information about a community. Personally I'm using this new feature to help me decide whether to block a community is worth blocking or not.

This release also fixes a lot of bugs. If I wasn't able to get to your bug fix in this release it will be fixed in a patch update.

Full changelog

Add a screen to see local stats in more detail.
Add local community stats screen.
Add a special case for searching for a person/community handle in the search screen. Searching for a specific person/community handle will now find direct matches if it exists. Eg. searching music@lemmy.world will yield both the person music@lemmy.world and the community music@lemmy.world in the search results.
Fix an issue with loops not loading in app.
Fix a bug where changing the sort order does not work for multi-communities.
Fix a bug where the "go to" action button does nothing on comments in the search results screen.
Fix a bug where "mark post as read on scroll" will mark all posts on screen as read if the user switches to another screen. (The correct behavior is that posts should only be marked as read if the user scrolls it off screen)
Fix a bug where unread notifications are never shown and unread count not updating.

Update

I am doing a minor release with many QoL changes and bug fixes. They will be released as v1.84.2 (there were some regressions in v1.84.1, so skipping 1.84.1).

Add a setting to control whether the failed actions badge is shown or not.
Add more ways to delete drafts.
Add "scroll to top" as a quick action option on the post feed screen.
Improve comments loading performance.
Better support display names on the current account.
Fix some deadlocks on the post screen.
Fix an issue where switching accounts on the person screen can cause the wrong person's data to be shown.
Fix a bug where registration applications don't load on Lemmy.
Fix an issue where some conversation messages do not load.
Fix an issue where downloading larger video files can error.

Update 2

More bug fixes. Released as v1.84.3:

Improve search screen. Typing in the search bar on the search screen will now show community suggestions.
Fix incorrectly linking mentions within another link. Sometimes a link will contain something that looks like a mention as a substring. This change should fix incorrectly adding a link to that substring.
Fix missing comments in saved/upvoted/downvoted screens.
Support piefed /c/ post links.

[2026] Roadmap (lemmy.world)

submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by idunnololz@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

4 comments fedilink

Planned changes

Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
Setup wizard.
Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.

Specific user requests

Take screenshot from post feed.
Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.

add option to import communities from Reddit

Feature request: Idea to improve link sharing (lemmy.today)

submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by silly_goose@lemmy.today to c/summit@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

I have been trying to get my friends into lemmy but it isn't working out well. I feel one of the reasons is UI / UX of default web interfaces and anubis botcheck.

Is it possible to add an option to share links to other web frontends like:

Photon Voyager Blorp

And an option to include the title or screenshot of the post along with the link. (Some apps like whatsapp block fediverse link previews)

Request: Option to keep device navigation and notification on screen (piefed.zip)

submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip to c/summit@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

Giving Summit a spin again after bouncing around apps for a while now. Gotta say this app has come a long way since the last time I used it and is rapidly becoming my favorite fediverse browser.

I've been tweaking the myriad of settings to my liking and everything feels fluid EXCEPT, I have been unable to find a way to keep my system navigation and notifications on-screen while I browse.

Right now, Summit runs as a full-screen app, constantly hiding my device navigation buttons, which is not my preferred way to interact. I am constantly reaching for my back button only to realize it is either two taps (swipe to show, then click), or I need to reach my lazy thumb aaaaallllll the way to the opposite corner of the screen to hit that back arrow.

I would love to have an option to keep this app from running exclusive full screen mode and instead have it work like every other social/browser app on my phone and keep my system navigation intact while I browse.

ETA: And if I'm just overlooking an existing setting that does this, consider this a request to make that setting more clearly defined and located!

Suggestion: search to Pick the language of the past (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 days ago by mountainRadish@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

3 comments fedilink

I like to pick the language of the post because I assume that helps lemmy to sort posts and suggest the correct language to uses.

Every time I have to scroll so a search bar is my suggestion and picking your favorite languages if you are multi lingual.

The favorite languages should be not limited to a limited number.

Request: making compact header more compact for community (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 days ago by Matth@sh.itjust.works to c/summit@lemmy.world

0 comments fedilink

Would it be possible to have more compact header. Banners make them use a lot of space for no real values. Especially when a banner has not been set.

I know you can disable post feed header which is a good solution for your subscriptions posts list but then it also disables header for community :-/

For reference a header for a community having set its banner :

To compact it more community thumbnail coud be aligned vertically with your profil avatar and the block with community name and the start of its description could be displayed between community thumbnail and profil avatar. As the banner image could make it hard to read when there is one, it would be nice to be able to disable its picture.

I take a look at how other apps does it: Webui is the same as Summit, Thunder is good! It uses a gradient to improve readability :

Anyway it would be really nice if header could take less space. On the list of posts for my subscription (the main screen I use) when at top the header takes something like 20/25 percent :-/

I just wanted to celebrate a little.

After going on a one month break about 3 months ago, I've been struggling to keep up with the influx of feature requests/bug reports and general feedback. So it is with great pleasure to inform everyone that I have finally addressed every bit of feedback I could find here and on GitHub.

If you have any I didn't get to you can drop them below.

All comments open when posting a comment (piefed.social)

submitted 4 days ago by rants_unnecessarily@piefed.social to c/summit@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

Something that's been bothering me, more than a little since it makes use difficult, is when I post a comment, every single parent comment gets opened and all child comments in the whole post come into view.
I can't remember what that mechanic is called, but I hope I was clear what happens.

It's already annoying enough that mr comment goes to the bottom (instead of the top like in Relay and other Reddit and Fediverse apps) so I have to scroll all the way back to the top, or where I was, to continue reading, but to have everything open up and having to scroll past the entire comment section with every single child comment makes it even worse.

Not to mention that I have the options specifically set that I only see the child comments when tapping an interesting parent comment. Now all of a sudden I see every child comment as well.

Option to unpin posts in multicommunities? (piefed.zip)

submitted 6 days ago by CovertOperative@piefed.zip to c/summit@lemmy.world

4 comments fedilink

If I put together a multicommunity and each of them has pinned posts there's a lot to scroll through until I get to the sorted feed. Would it be possible to make it so the pins are ignored in multicommunities and just follow the regular sorting?

Cannot see saved comments anymore (v1.84) (piefed.ca)

submitted 6 days ago by gedfromgont@piefed.ca to c/summit@lemmy.world

6 comments fedilink

This might have been an issue in an earlier version, I haven't checked this for a long time.

If I go to my saved/bookmarked stuff, I can see saved posts just fine but going to the comments tab it show no content.

If I log in to another client or the website, it is all there though, so just an issue displaying that.

I am on piefed server, so maybe something to do with a Piefed update? Just a hunch.

Hey!

I'd like to have Summit open all supported links on my phone, but for that I would have to manually tick all urls.

Showing the account profile image when creating a post (leminal.space)

Firstly, thank you so much for creating such a great app! I use it on a daily basis and I'm very grateful it exists.

I use two different accounts, and sometimes I accidentally post from the wrong account. Most screens have the account profile image, so it's clear which account I am using. However this is not on the create post screen, could it be displayed on that screen?

Merge or aggregate cross posted links (discuss.tchncs.de)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by tehsYs@discuss.tchncs.de to c/summit@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

Hi there!

Would it be possible to display cross posts on different instances as a single post?

I just found an article on four of my subscriptions and I wanted to read all the comments so I had find them one by one.

Also it seems to be a problem with lemmy in general, that conversations and likes gets very segmented this way. Would be nice if there would be a way to aggregate.

Issues with links to posts from piefed users (feddit.org)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by waldfee@feddit.org to c/summit@lemmy.world

1 comments fedilink

When pressing a link to a post from piefed the link seems to be interpreted as two. Here is an example of such a link: https://piefed.social/c/Frankfurt@feddit.org/p/2288589/heizkraftwerk-west-frankfurt-steigt-aus-der-kohle-aus-was-das-fur-die-versorgung-bedeut

The first half links to !Frankfurt@feddit.org, while the second half links to /c/Frankfurt@feddit.org/p/2288589/heizkraftwerk-west-frankfurt-steigt-aus-der-kohle-aus-was-das-fur-die-versorgung-bedeut which doesn't work, or probably only on piefed.social

User Notes (piefed.social)

submitted 1 week ago by vogi@piefed.social to c/summit@lemmy.world

5 comments fedilink

Thank you for the app and all the hard work! It is actually almost perfect, so feature rich, customisable and good looking.

Only thing missing for me is the function to add a note to users existing on both Lemmy and PieFed.

There are user tags, but I think they are local only. (?)

I think if its an option it would be best to merge those features.

How clean up Drafts? (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago by recursivethinking@lemmy.world to c/summit@lemmy.world

10 comments fedilink

Do I have a habit of starting to write a comment, then go "nevermind why am I bothering". Or I started saying something that I decoded is dumb and aborted (you're all welcome). Well at this point I have hundreds.

I can't find a way to delete them other then 1 by 1 and hitting confirmation each time. Am I missing something?

I thought about backup and delete storage or uninstall, but the DB backup that has settings in it also backs up drafts... I tried toggling save drafts off and on but that only applies to new drafts.

I guess I'd rather just not have drafts than have a forever growing pile but something like a setting to delete after X time would be a great feature. But in the short term, delete all seems like it would be relatively straightforward to implement?

New pylova (fork of piefed) feature and request (anarchist.nexus)

submitted 2 weeks ago by tenchiken@anarchist.nexus to c/summit@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

Hola!

A new fork of piefed called PyLova had started adding quality of life featured, notably multiple images in a post.

Notably, we started around here to implement the changes for it. https://codeberg.org/quokkau/PyLova/commit/c3da93ee2bcb963c79c8c036821b78716b7c20e1

I was wondering if this could get in a (would be nice) type list for eventually supporting it.

Not a priority yet, but wanted to potential get it on your radar. We're looking to try getting other fedi software to mingle with this so hopefully it becomes widespread.

Still love the work you do. Thank you for working on this

Always show link below post not working as expected (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Matth@sh.itjust.works to c/summit@lemmy.world

12 comments fedilink

I have always show link below post disabled but in post and comments view for post the link is always shown below.

In settings, based on the example, when toggling this setting no link should be displayed below and I guess tapping directly on image should open the link?

Is there something I don't understand or is it a known bug? I couldn't find any post about it! If it is really a bug then it's strange that no one would have reported it before.
