Summit

I have been using the app filters option to remove some posts I don't care about that are recurring, which is a nice feature.

There are however two problems with it that are sort of related, I don't seem to get it to work filtering combinations of words? E.g. I can filter for "hello" and "world" but when I make a filter for "hello world" it doesn't block anything. Is there a certain way you need to define those or does it just not work?

And since I can only do single word filters I have now the issue that I filter posts I do not mind actually. E.g. by trying to filter "hello world" with just "hello" I am also filtering "hello you". But whenever a post got filtered it does not tell you which filter was applied, it just says "this post is filtered because of a custom filter", or something like that.

Could that message maybe write out the word it filtered so one can see which filter got applied? Since I had wrong posts filtered I am now often checking, which post is behind the filter, but thats kind of removing the purpose of the filter.

Only example (this was injected with the emoji feature that pops up when writing in summit. I know that doubling the backslash fixes it by escaping the backslash itself): ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can search the code and make a PR with the change, I feel bad asking to fix such a small thing. I can also open an issue later today if it's preferred but I can't right now sorry.

Hey,

When creating a post, the alt text field for a picture seems to expect a URL-style content (my keyboard automatically replaces the comma key with a slash, and other little details that make it feel like that), instead of a normal text, so I just thought I'd mention it since I don't think it's a very noticeable thing.

The app is great by the way!

Sorry if this is maybe an obvious answer. I'm just scratching my head. I just noticed it after the latest update.

Don't have a theme planned for this one so going back to knocking off more user requests.

Changes so far:

• Fix a bug where the block instance button doesn't do anything on the instance information screen.
• Fix gesture conflicts on the image preview screen.
• Add feature that shows per-user scores in post/comment headers. Enabled by default. Can be disabled in settings.
• Improvements to duplicate post detector.
• Fix a crash due to the new PieFed comment reporting endpoints.
• Changed default for "hide banner if no banner" from off to on.
• Fixed more bugs related to the duplicate post detector.

Hello. Recently changed instances and apps, and loving Summit so far.

I've accumulated a few blocked users, they show up in my block list, and they're successively blocked in the web version of piefed.social, but their comments still appear on Summit. Reasonable possibility of user error on my part.

Blocking instance via 'instance info' > ... Menu > block instance fails to add it to my blocked instances list

A lot of apps now have this gesture, if you double tap on an image but keep dragging after the second tap it should function as a pinch-zoom. Can we have this for opened media please?
See Google Maps for an example.

I was able to find this comment from last year about starting the process to add Summit to F-droid. Just curious if there's been any updates on that front?

A month or two ago I made a few posts on reddit to nudge people to join PieFed
More details here
The posts got 500,000 views and a couple thousand people joined PieFed.

This is the insights of a Reddit community, as you can see the vast majority of people prefer using a mobile app.
~98% of users are using a mobile app.

One issue I kept seeing in the comments was that there's no "PieFed" app on any of the app-stores.

I want to be able to tell people, "Hey there's this cool PieFed app, just search for it from the App-Store"

With age verification and other BS looming, the next Rexit is coming, we need to be ready. Ideally people can just comment, "Yea Reddit sucks, Just download PieFed from the app-store"

Can we make this happen? I'm sure it'll greatly benifit Voyager, PieFed and the Fediverse

Hi! Thanks for the great app. After switching phones, I encountered a small issue: current Xiaomi phones don't show the per-app language toggle in the app settings, so I can't change Summit to the language I want without changing the whole phone UI.

It's a very low-priority request, but if possible it would be awesome to have some way of still switching the language :)

Thanks!

Going through a busy period in my life so development will be a bit slow for a few weeks but should pick up back later. Will work on Summit when I can. Will prioritize bug fixes for now.

Steps to reproduce:

• Be in the subscribed feed
• Tap to view one of the posts
• Tap to view community of that post
• Press back

Expected behaviour: I return to the post I was just viewing.

Current behaviour: I am transported to the first post in the feed.

Animations eat battery and distract from the main content.

Can we have a zero animations mode please?

The hosts that could host

Videos:

• Catbox;
• Fileditch;
• Jumpshare.

GIFs(Upload and use):

• RedGIFs (NSFW);
• GIFdb;
• Tenor

Images:

• Postimages;
• Imgbb;
• Catbox

I think implementing this is going to remove some fraction in using Piefed and will make it more sustainable.

Upvoted comments show correctly.

The same is for downvoted.

No matter whether I have this option turned on or off, I always have child comments visible.

Anyone else have this issue?

I'm excited to announce that v1.81.0 of the app is finally ready to be released. This update refreshes the look of the default user experience hopefully for the better.

You can see a screenshot of this new default user experience here:

To make the new user experience possible, three new features have been added to Summit:

1. A new post feed header style named "Compact". This is meant to give the user slightly more information about the community they are browsing without taking up too much of the screen. This will be on by default going forwards. (You can turn off post headers in Settings > Post Feed. You can also revert the style to the previous design.)
2. A new post header style named "Compact". This makes the header on each post prefer a single line instead of two lines, making posts more compact and reducing some redundant information. The post header style can be adjusted on a per-post style basis. In this release only the new List and Compact style will use the "Compact" header style by default.
3. A new post style named "List" (the old "List" style is now named "List (old)"). This style is designed to be much more compact than the previous List style, trying to be a good compromise between the old List style and Compact. This post style is now the default.

As usual, all of these changes can be reverted via settings.

Full changelog

Update 5 v1.81.6

• Fix a bug when "swipe between posts" is enabled, navigating to a different screen and returning will reset the position back to the first post.
• Remove post open/close animation is animation level is set to "Minimum".

The original design was to move the icon to the top to reduce the size of the items.

However, after implementation the change it looks a bit weird so wanted to see what the community felt.

Let me know in the comments if you prefer A or B.

If anyone has other feedback for the design let me know.

A	B

Update: Based on the feedback. I am going with A. Also I noticed you can basically accomplish B by changing some settings and using the old list layout so this way we have the best of both worlds.
