I see this in both posts and comments. Unless a new line is inserted between each image link, then the formatting of each image gets worse and worse. I've had this issue for ages, but never had a bad enough post before to get this bothered by it.

Link to the post: https://lemmy.world/post/53478299

The post is formatted something like this:

!{imgURL1} !{imgURL2} !{imgURL3} !{imgURL4}

But would need to be formatted like this to view properly:

!{imgURL1}

!{imgURL2}

!{imgURL3}

!{imgURL4}

How can I DM a user in summit app I don't see any option?

I'm on android ColorOS 15 using summit android app version 1.87.0-fdroid

I would love to see a feature in Summit that shows how many times a post has been viewed, similar to Reddit.

Currently, upvotes and comments give us some idea of how a post is performing, but they don't tell us how many people have actually viewed it. A post might receive hundreds of views but only a few upvotes or comments, and there's currently no easy way to measure that reach.

• Post view counts: Display the total number of views on each post.

• View statistics: Allow users to see how many people have viewed their own posts.

• Real-time or periodic updates: Keep view counts updated as more people see a post.

• Privacy-friendly implementation: Count views without tracking individual users or exposing their identities.

I think this would be a great addition to Summit. It would help users understand how far their posts are reaching, whether they're sharing discussions, news, questions, or other content.

I understand that Lemmy is a federated platform, so implementing this feature might require additional work to track views across different instances. It would be worth exploring how to handle that while respecting user privacy.

What do you think? Would you like to see Reddit-style post view counts in Summit app?

I came across this comment in a post. Summit only loads it as an image with the play icon on it. Tapping on the image (probably the video thumbnail preview) opens the image in a gallery view but still doesn't play the video itself.

I would like to request a private profile option on Lemmy.

Currently, users who value their privacy have limited control over how others view their profiles and activity. It would be great to have an option that allows users to make their profiles private, giving them more control over their personal information and online presence.

Features i like to suggest:

• Private profiles: Allow users to restrict public access to their profile activity.

• Activity visibility controls: Let users choose whether their posts, comments, and communities they participate in are publicly visible through their profile.

• Follower or access approval: If feasible, allow users to approve who can view their profile activity.

• Default privacy settings: Give users the option to choose their preferred profile visibility when creating an account.

I understand that Lemmy is a federated, open-source platform, and implementing private profiles could present technical challenges because posts and comments may already be distributed across different instances. However, having additional privacy controls would be a valuable improvement for users who want more control over their digital footprint.

Privacy should be an important part of the fediverse experience. I hope the developers and community will consider this feature for a future release.

Changes so far

• Update backup naming scheme to be more sensical.
• Add setting to mute NSFW videos by default. Default: On.
• Fix a bug where blurred video thumbnails did not have a play button to indicate that they were videos.
• Fix a bug on PieFed where tapping on any conversation will load the list of all private messages.
• Add setting to color code upvote percentage scores. Upvote color for >50%, downvote color for <50%. Default: Off.
• Add setting to hide the FAB button on the post screen. Default: Off.

Basically, if I open a chat with one account, my messages from/to other accounts (well, just one because I don't have more convos) are also displayed in the chat. Seems like a kinda significant bug.

Morning Team,

Please see the thread found at this link, between myself and the OP:

https://sh.itjust.works/post/68082252

I’d like to request that the LinkResolver.ky file be updated so that URIs have their RFC-3986 well-defined Reserved Characters “percent-encoded” before being transferred to a buffer.

If you need an assist on dev for this, lmk :) I’m about since Gingerbread on developing for android, let alone kt but I have the spice😭

Apologies for the wait, but this turned out to be a massive update.

This update adds post and comment templates. Templates are meant to be a way to reduce post/comment friction when certain posts/comments all follow some pattern. Now you can save those patterns and re-use them easily. They are sort of like drafts but meant to be more persistent.

The main reason why this update ended up being a huge amount of work is the amount of new screens this feature added. This resulted in a lot of mauling over different UI designs before finally deciding on a good design. Probably 1.5 weeks were spent on just thinking about UI design.

The update also required a large amount of new code so there is that as well.

There is a 2nd big feature I'd like to introduce as well, this one might be a more controversial so I made sure to make this feature opt-in and also basically hidden unless you want to use it. It's the addition of the AI image detector. This feature lets users check for AI signals in an image to determine if an image is likely AI generated. The approach taken has a low false-positive rate in exchange for a higher false negative rate (ie. images determined to be AI generated are extremely likely to be AI generated while images determined not to be AI generated might not always be correct).

This feature uses Open AI's content provenance API (it's what powers https://openai.com/research/verify/). Unfortunately this API has a low rate limit meaning to use it you will need to provide your own API key. You can get one for free and instructions are provided in the app.

The AI image detector is hidden by default, in order to enable the feature, you will need to navigate to Settings > Misc > Enable OpenAI tools and paste your Open AI API key into the app. Once you've done this, long pressing/tapping the more button on an image will expose a new option: "Check AI usage".

If anyone has any feedback about these new features please let me know in the comments.

Full changelog

• Change the You > Drafts screen into the Drafts & Templates screen. This will be the primary way to add/edit/manage post/comment templates.
• Expose templates in the drafts screen when composing a post/comment.
• Add an action on posts/comments to create a post/comment template by using the target post/comment as the base.
• Add a setting for enabling Open AI tools (Settings > Misc > Enable OpenAI tools). An Open AI API key will be required for this feature. When enabled, you can check if an image has AI signals from within the app.
• Fix an issue where swiping on the "cross-post" section will not register as a swipe on the post screen even if the "cross-post" section is not wide enough to be scrollable.
• Fix a rare bug where sometimes changes to a comment are lost.

Other apps like Jerboa have a lil button for commenting with an image or gif. I cant see one for Summit, am I blind?

Now it happened the second time that I posted with the wrong language setting. I see a little i next to the comment, but I cannot change it anymore. I also cannot see and copy the comment to post it with the correct language. Could Summit perhaps warn me that I have a not-acceptable language set? Or let me change the setting after the error occurs?

This release will be centered around post/comment templates. I was going to make a WIP after the feature was done but it's taking forever so making the post now.

My original plan was to crank this out in a week and do a release, simple and easy. However, this feature turned out to be a lot more work than anticipated.

I was first hung up on the UI design of this feature. Then after getting that sorted out, the amount of code/number of moving parts needed to get this working was more than expected. Can't really give an estimate of when this feature will be done so all I can say is "soon".

Change so far

• Got the post template editor working.
• Show templates in the draft list screen when composing a post/comment.
• Add a setting for enabling Open AI tools. An Open AI API key will be required for this feature. When enabled, you can check if an image has AI signals from within the app.
• Fix an issue where swiping on the "cross-post" section will not register as a swipe on the post screen even if the "cross-post" section is not wide enough to be scrollable.
• Fix a rare bug where sometimes changes to a comment are lost.

Summit doesn't show this tag correctly at the moment. Any chance this can be added to the roadmap? I didn't see this already on there, apologies if it already is.

I just had to say thank you to the developers for such an awesome Lemmy client.

I am still clutching on to the remnants of Sync for Reddit, and bits are slowly breaking over time. But having Summit and slowly becoming more active with Lemmy has been a godsend.

I guess there are no plans for a Reddit port of Summit? 🥲

Would it be possible to change how Summit names its backups? Right now they're not "order by name" friendly.

To make them so, they should:

• be prefixed with summit (so it doesn't bundle with backups from other apps that also don't prefix their names)
• use ISO date format (so the month is always before the day)

Especially the last one would be nice. I just did some cleanup and thought my last backup wasn't there as it was not the last one (by name) in the file list.

I've started posting to more communities, and now my drafts folder gets a bit mixed up since I don't know which drafts are for which community. I was thinking about how the posts could be marked so I know what community they're for without making anything more cluttered or complex.

The best solution I came up with was on the Drafts screen, if a long press could pop up a color select screen like for user tagging where I could choose a color to highlight the title along these lines:

If there's a smoother way to incorporate it within the overall UI of the app, that's good too. You've been doing so much with features I've kinda fallen off keeping up with all the development for a bit now. You get so much done it's crazy! Thanks for everything!

Setting a language on post/comments have been a part of Summit for a while but due to it's simple implementation it was a hassle to actually use.

This update greatly improves the experience around discussion languages.

This update also adds a lot of other small features and bug fixes.

Full changelog

• Update tap-to-close image viewer gestures. Show/hide UI gesture has been moved to long press so that double-tap can be used for zoom in/out. This change only affects users with the tap-to-close image viewer setting enabled.
• Add link option to unwrap a proxied image url. This option is only shown if the URL is detected to be a proxied image URL.
• Change Summit to respect the repeat count in animated image formats. Eg. GIFs that have repeat once in the metadata are only played once.
• Add support for the "transfer community ownership" mod action.
• Update language chooser UI to be easier to use. Language chooser now has a search bar, and it will display up to 5 recently chosen languages.
• Add a per-account default language choice on posts/comments.
• Fix a bug where editing a post/comment will not automatically set the language.
• Fix the mention context menu opening in a random part of the screen. It now correctly opens below the item that was long pressed.
• Fix a crash when viewing an image full screen on older devices.

Update Fixed a bunch of crashes from my backlog of crashes. Some other bug fixes too. Releasing as v1.86.1.

• Fix a crash when restoring the app when scroll between posts is enabled.
• Fix a crash when opening an image full screen when browsing a multi-community.
• Fix a rare crash that can occur when bookmarking a community.
• Fix a bug where the community icon is shown instead of the poster's icon in the post list if post layout is set to list and the user is on a specific community page.
• Fix a bug with some spoiler tags failing to parse correctly.

Title. I've had this bug for quite some time now (I think about a year at this point). I didn't report it because I was lazy and thought that it would surely be reported by someone else, but it never happened, so here I am, writing this post lol

I use Compact view. If, when browsing a multi-community, I click on the post itself, it works as expected and I can view the image just fine.
But if, instead of clicking on the post, I click on the picture, the app crashes to the desktop.

Implementing more things off the roadmap...

Changes so far

• Update tap to close gallery gestures
• Fix mention popup not anchored correctly
• Add link option to unwrap a proxied image url. This option is only shown if the URL is detected to be a proxied image URL.
• Respect repeat count in GIF metadata
• Overhaul language picker for post/comments. New language picker UI that should be easier to use. New options for setting a language as the default for an account.

Why can't I swipe to downvote posts the same way as comments? There are the upvote and reply options, but downvoting is missing...

This release is a small release that makes some much needed changes to the app.

The most visible change in this release is the introduction of the new People setting page. The Misc setting page has been growing longer and longer and there has been enough people related settings to warrant a new settings page.

The other less visible change is a complete overhaul of how posts and comments load. The aim here is to make it easier to make changes to posts/comments in the future for new feature work as well as reduce the amount of bugs related.

Full changelog

• Add a new preference screen called People. This screen will hold all settings related to how people are displayed in various places such as within a post or comment.
• Add a feature to show a "BOT" label next to bot accounts. Can be disabled in settings on the new People setting page.
• Post & comment loading overhaul. If I did this correctly, you shouldn't notice any changes to how post/comments load.
• Show a loading spinner when individual comment trees are being loaded.
• Show an error message when individual comment trees fail to load.
• Fix an issue where the "hide duplicate post" feature was using the wrong preference key. This caused the "hide duplicate post" feature to become enabled/disabled when it wasn't supposed to be enabled/disabled.
• Fix comment trees expanding when a comment is created when "collapse comments by default" is on.
• Fix a bug where the number of local subscriber count is being reported as the total subscribers on PieFed.
• Fix a bug where the the bottom bar is fully visible after tapping on an image when "lock bottom navigation bar" is enabled.

For posts list I use mark as read as my primary gesture and bookmark (save) as my second one.

Mark as read works as expected: when triggered on an already read post it marks it as unread. The same doesn't happen for bookmark action. If a post is saved, swiping again does nothing.

In a way bookmark gesture really do what it said. Yet making it to toggle save state the same as mark as read do would be nice.
