Hi, I’m working on the next release and there’s a lot of changes so rather than just release it straight away I’d like your help! Hopefully this way those that don’t want the newest features can enjoy a more stable experience and those that want to play with new features can do so as well.

Here is the link to join:

edit: I won’t post the release notes until it fully releases in a couple days or so so as to not spoil anything :)

      Beta 80:

      New: I’m seeing 301 errors on pretty much every vote/comment/post I attempt through Lemmy.world. Seems fine on Jerboa & web.

      Most of my previous issues seem fixed. Probably the most pressing preexisting bug I’m still seeing…

      • When I edit a long comment, I’m still seeing only the first 500 characters. Everything after that get removed. It’s anywhere there’s a & symbol in a comment. If you edit a comment with a & in it, it gets cut off at the &.

      EDIT: Here’s all I see when I try to edit the comment above. Looks like just the first half of the comment…

        Pushed a hotfix for the 301 errors issue (1.0.81, should be live now). And thanks for the screenshot! I’m checking it out now.

          Thanks! On 82 currently…

          • 301 errors are fixed.
          • As a chronic comment editor, still anxiously awaiting the fix for comments getting chopped off
          • I like the visual tweaks on the header, but the second line often gets clipped on all but the smallest text size.

            For the comments getting chopped it’s the preview view not being able to scroll?

              No, when you edit the comment, only part of the text actually loads in.

              So if you submit it without realizing that text is gone, you lose the tail end of the comment. (It happened to me a couple times before I realized what was happening)

              EDIT: Maybe it’s the “&” character that’s the issue… testing that theory.

              EDIT 2: That’s it! Everything from the “&” forward gets cut off.

      Thanks for the fixes it got a bit better, but still has issues

      Post settings (in the info you talk about cards but the title is about the generell posts?)

      • a better preview is needed inside the post best would be a Picture. It doesn’t show what’s happen exactly if you choose “limit Thumbails Height”
      • “Post Titles above images” should be inside Post settings because if affects the behaving

      Comment settings

      • Is it possible to add comment dividers preview?
      • What exactly does “Handedness” nothing happens for me

      Generell

      • If you deactivate “Bottom Bar Navigation” you have no possibility anymore to switch between, local/Frontpage/all or your subscription, I need to active it to even use the app :/
      • The version No gets cut off inside the settings

    I’ll keep this comment here so as to not spam with beta updates but I’ve just pushed beta 1.0.77 which addresses some of the feedback I’ve gotten here. the comment navigator buttons should behave a bit better and hopefully the issue with settings being blown away is resolved.

    I’m hoping to just do some more tests today and possibly package it up as a 1.1.0 release for tomorrow.

    Liking the bottom bar. The Home button does seem somewhat inconsistent, though.

    I would expect it to open the default feed no matter where you are in the app. And if you’re already in the default feed, I’d expect it to scroll to the top.

    Currently, it either sends you to the default feed, reloads the current page (e.g. when viewing a specific post), opens the “map” menu (e.g. Profile view), or does nothing (e.g. in the Inbox, possibly others).

    Also, the center “Map” button menu can sometimes be dismissed by swiping down, and sometimes you have to use the Android “back” gesture.

      I’ve adjusted the home button behaviour on the latest release and it should be more consistent now. (Goes to whichever page is default).

        Bottom navigation buttons seems to be working appropriately on latest beta (79). 👍

    Issues so far

    • Comment made not showing and/or refreshing comment is not working (tested both pull down and refresh button from menu)
    • NSFW content is not blurred
    • Feed sort can’t be changed, stuck on what ever is set in settings

      It’s also showing me NSFW content that is not blurred. I also am unable to change feed settings, seems it pulls settings from Lemmy profile.

      Thank you for making comments font larger!

    Unfortunately Connect’s settings aren’t transferred and applied to this version. That’s part and parcel with betas I guess. Eventually, it would be nice to have have a settings import/export feature. This would be useful in a variety of ways, particularly for those testing. If you decide to add it, I can understand if it takes some time; at your convenience.

    This is the BEST lemmy app!

    Some wish list items I have:

    • for card posting display, please have an option for fixed width so super long pictures are text post don’t take up the whole screen.
    • Please save the setting I set when selecting sort by options (ie active, top, top six hours etc) I’m having to always change the setting each time it reloads.

    Amazing app!!!

    I’m on the beta now.

    Love the bottom navigation.

    One thing I’ve noticed, I tapped on the connect community and it took me into it, but I couldn’t back out of it either using the back gesture or by taking the back arrow at top left.

    I had to tap home.

    I followed the link on Android and it took me to the version I already had installed and I didn’t see any “Join Beta” options. When will the new test version be out.

    Edit: the second link just says I’m not able to access the software.

    Edit 2: The exact message I get when using the second link is

    “App not available for this account Your account isn’t currently eligible for this app’s testing program.”

    How do I add my email to the testing program?

    Edit 3: everything appears to be working correctly now. Thanks!

      pushing updates on play store takes a while so have patience for now

      It worked for me. I opened it in the Play store app and I scrolled to here where there was a join button:

    Servers appear to functional again so I could test (I’m on v79)… Good stuff!

    Here’s my feedback…

    • EDIT FROM WEB: When editing longer comments, only part of the message gets loaded into the markdown editor
    • Sorting button at the top of post lists does not work. You’re stuck on whatever sorting is defined in settings
    • If “Always show comment bar” is enabled, tapping a comment hides the comment bar and it won’t come back
    • Navigation drawer setting should probably be a choice between bottom & left. Currently you can disable both. Seems that would be bad.
    • Would be nice if you could dismiss the bottom drawer by swiping down (EDIT: It appears that this works sometimes, but not always)
    • When you’re on your “home” page and left menu is disabled, there’s a non-functional back arrow displayed

        One more thing I just ran into…

        When you’re on your Profile page, the center Map button menu populates as if you aren’t logged in (missing all of your subs, your Inbox, etc)…
