Summit

There was already a similar report, of the switch instance function taking long, a while ago https://lemmy.world/post/42666364 I had the same issue but it got worse, now it does not work at all anymore, even for example with the app update notification that takes me to the post. Also tried it with a different account, same issue

fedinsfw should be running piefed.

Looks like AVIF is here to stay at Lemmy so I'm going to try to address it...

Changes so far

• Add setting to save images/videos in subfolders based on the community. Eg. an image from c/cats will be saved to Summit/cats. Default: off.
• Fix an error that can occur when signing into a Piefed instance.
• Add experimental AVIF support (again)

I'm asking because I tried Sync but it's paid, has ads, trackers, mentions Google and Amazon in its privacy policy which was a big red flag for me.

Is Summit open source? Does it have trackers/collection data?

Basically the title.

Do pictures really need a limit to how far you can zoom?

It annoys me to no end when there's a larger image that I'd really like to zoom in to view a detail and I run into an arbitrary wall just too far away.

I don't normally care about my cakeday, but I was confused.

I recently created this Piefed.World account (within this year), but it's telling me that my CakeDay is January 27, 2026, 348 days from now.

I posted it on the Piefed Support Community , and was told that it was a glitch in the app.

On Reddit, moderators can comment as regular users by default, and only display the green MOD badge when they intentionally “distinguish” a comment as an official moderation response.

It made me think about how this works across the Fediverse — particularly with PieFed.

PieFed supports opt-in mod distinction, allowing moderators to choose when they’re speaking officially versus when they’re just participating in a discussion as a regular community member.

That distinction can meaningfully affect tone, power dynamics, and how comfortable users feel engaging in open conversation.

By contrast, Lemmy (at least currently) does not support this feature at the protocol level, so this suggestion is not for Lemmy users.

Feature Suggestion (PieFed Users Only)

Would it be possible for Summit to support PieFed’s opt-in moderator distinction system?

Specifically:

Allow PieFed moderators to comment as regular users by default

Provide a clear, intentional toggle to mark a comment as “mod voice” when speaking officially

This would:

Help preserve conversational tone when Piefed mods are participating casually

Reduce unintentional authority signaling

Maintain transparency when acting in an official capacity

To be clear, this request applies only to PieFed users, since Lemmy does not (at least not currently) support this capability.

EDIT: Apparently Lemmy now supports the feature?

Or at least Lemmy.world does?

When using spoiler tags, if you add bold/italic formatting to the title, the title is hidden as part of the spoiler in Jerboa, instead of being rendered as a title with bold/italics.

Cross posted, because it seems Boost suffers from the same problem: not rendering bold/italic spoiler titles correctly.

Cross-posted as Summit also suffers from this issue.

Are there any updates on this issue? I run into it daily and it's definitely limiting the content I can access. I know it's been an ongoing bug so wanted to see if there was any update on resolving it. I didn't see anything in the release notes or recent posts.

Clicking here and changing instance to .world so I can answer to it, takes too long

Don't have much inspiration at the moment so I'm going to continue to implement more user requests.

Changes so far

• Add a setting to change how the image viewer is controlled. By default tapping once will show/hide the ui and double tap will zoom in. Add a new control style where single tap closes the image viewer and double tap show/hide the ui.
• Add option to hide actions in the rich text editor toolbar.
• Add setting to show labels for items in the rich text editor toolbar.
• Fix a bug where RTL names are not displayed correctly.
• Fix a bug where the local stats screen did not limit the length of some of the categories.
• Add a new option in the post menu: Hide posts like this. Offers a convenient way to hide posts by keywords.

Have you ever considered potentially adding support for Mbin, alongside the already existing Lemmy and Piefed login/support options?

I don’t personally use Mbin, but it struck me that supporting it could be interesting from an ecosystem standpoint — essentially completing the “trinity” of major ActivityPub-based forum platforms:

• Lemmy
• Piefed
• Mbin

Even if Mbin support isn’t a priority right now, I thought it might be worth floating as a future consideration, especially for users who like to move between different Fediverse ecosystems while keeping a single client.

I just downloaded summit. I can vote and do other things but I couldnt comment.

Here's the error:

LemmyAction failed. Cause: com.idunnololz.summit.lemmy.actions.LemmyActionFailureReason.UnknownError. Details: UnknownError(errorCode=401, errorMessage=Not signed in)

after some investigating, I tried posting this on the mobile client and saw an error that said im not allowed to post because I am on a VPN. turned my VPN off, tried posting my comment in the app, then it worked.

just thought you should know this error is incorrect and sent me down a rabbit hole. maybe there's something you can do to update this on your end? not sure though...

have a great day! love the app so far

Summit has received a ton of feature requests over the years. Over time, a group of features began to accumulate that all relied on the app to track some sort of statistic. Whether it was the number of votes per user or the number of times a community was visited, these features can all be derived from tracking events.

User tracking has a bad rep since it's often associated with ads and it's a hot topic when discussing privacy, however the data is undeniably useful. This is why Summit will start to track certain events beginning with this release. However, rest assured that this data will be stored on the client side only and it will be easy to opt out of.

This release also displays some stats generated from this data in the new stats page accessible from the "You" page.

Full changelog

• Add convenience setting to export settings to share for debugging purposes. This will be available via Settings > Import & Export settings > Copy settings for debugging. Tapping on this option will export your current settings (excluding the database) and copy it to your clipboard for easy sharing.
• Add a local tracking setting to enable/disable local tracking.
• Add local tracking setting page with some stats and an option to delete all local tracking data.
• Add a stats page to the "You" screen that displays some fun stats based on local tracking data.
• Add setting to change the communities listed in the community selector sheet from top communities to frequented communities of the current account.

Update

Bumping version to v1.76.2 with no major changes. I just screwed up the versioning.

I wanted to suggest a small but potentially impactful UI/UX feature for Summit related to how moderator comments are displayed.

On Lemmy, moderator comments are often visually distinguished by default, even when the moderator is just participating casually rather than speaking in an official moderation capacity.

While this transparency has value, it can sometimes unintentionally shift the tone of a discussion or discourage open conversation when a mod is simply engaging as a regular community member.

After discussing this in lemmy_support@lemmy.ml, it was pointed out that this isn’t really an API limitation, but rather a frontend/app decision — which is why I thought Summit might be a good place to experiment with it.

https://lemmy.world/post/41994121

Feature idea: An optional, opt-in distinction system for mod comments/posts, similar in spirit to Reddit’s “distinguish” feature:

• By default, moderators’ comments (and posts) appear as regular user comments/posts
• Mods can explicitly mark a comment as “mod voice” when speaking in an official capacity
• Summit could optionally provide a toggle or setting for users to:
  • Always show mod badges
  • Only show mod badges on distinguished comments
  • Or keep the current always-visible behavior

This would preserve transparency while giving communities more flexibility in how authority is visually communicated — potentially improving trust, discussion flow, and community health without changing Lemmy’s underlying model.

I like the link preview option. Unfortunately, after opening or copying the link. I need to manually click the X mark to close the link preview. Auto dismiss would make it that much usable.

Development been quiet for a while - any idea is and when Piefed's new reactions will be supported in Summit?

I don't know if the developers designed it on purpose, but I think it's a bad experience.

I had a small UI/UX feature suggestion for Summit that I think could be helpful.

Currently, Summit already does a great job visually distinguishing roles:

• Community Mods are shown in green
• Instance Admin are shown in red

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a distinct colour for the Head Mod / Top Mod of a community.

For example:

• Instance Admin: Red
• Head Mod: Yellow
• Other Mods: Green

Kind of like a stoplight system (red, yellow, green).

This would make it easier at a glance to tell who ultimately runs a community, especially in larger mod teams or when reading mod comments in threads.

Totally optional, but I think it could be a nice improvement.

Trying to log on with 1.75.4 and getting the error in the attached image. My guess is something in my profile but I'm not sure what. Thanks!
