I'm thrilled to present yet another update packed with bug fixes, all made possible by the invaluable feedback from this incredible community. Your insights are incredibly helpful for fine-tuning and enhancing the overall user experience.

🎉 New Features:

Added text size options (WIP)
Added support for Lemmy v0.19 (WIP)
Added jump button for comments
Added the option to block users and communities
Added the option to show the corresponding instance behind community and user names
Added setting to manually switch between Light/Dark Mode
Added ‘Remember Community Sort’ setting
Added ‘Restore Default Swipe Actions’ setting
Long pressing the profile tab now opens the account switcher
Added ‘Select Text’ to both the post and comment menu’s
Added option to translate both posts and comments
Communities in the search screen now filters NSFW communities by default, unless the NSFW filter is turned on

🐛 Bug Fixes:

Fixed the issue where the ‘No Subscribed In All / Local’ settings would be applied to the ‘Subscribed’ feed as well
Fixed the issue where the ‘Show Username at Top’ setting would impact all places, instead of only posts
Fixed the issue where custom sorting in a feed would reset after the first page
Fixed the issue where selecting a custom sort for comments didn’t have any effect
Fixed the issue where the link of a post wouldn’t be shown if the posts also contains images
Fixed the issue where disabling the setting ‘Show Page Endings’ would result in a missing border before the first post of the next page
Fixed the issue where if you post a new comment, it would be marked as unread
Fixed the issue where the ‘Show All Comments’ bar would prevent you from seeing the highlighted comment
Fixed the issue where clicking media in compact post items wouldn’t open anything
Fixed the issue where scrolling to the top by tapping the statusbar wouldn’t automatically show the navigation bars again
Improved active state colors in light mode
Fixed the issue where a very quick swipe gesture wouldn’t register any action
Fixed the issue where left swipes on a comment item would sometimes interact with the wrong comment
Improved ‘Mark Read on Scroll’ logic which should cause less false positives
Fixed the issue where the bookmarks screen would keep loading if you didn’t have any bookmarks yet
Links to posts on other instances now properly resolve to posts on your home instance, meaning they can be opened within the app (WIP)

Honestly, the app is very useable as-is now. The major things I expect in an app are there and they work well. The overall aesthetics seem very nice. The placement of the icons and names/numbers on the posts in the feed all seem to fit together nicely. The scrolling and swiping are very smooth.

I only noticed a couple of small bugs while zooming around the app.

The text slider resets to the default when returning the settings. The actual text size isn’t affected, but the slider just goes back to the middle.
The multi-communities will sometimes not load. Not sure if this is instance-related, but one multi will not load with all lemmy.world instances, but another multi with World instances loaded in okay.
The Sort on a multi did not switch, and quickly switched back to the default.
After switching accounts, the subscribed communities and multi lists were still the previous account.
Making a post, I could not scroll down when I get close to the bottom of the post, so I cannot see where I’m typing under the keyboard. https://i.imgur.com/OY3Me3h.jpg
Also with making a post, sometimes some sentences flash that look like some sort of auto complete suggestions. I’m not sure if that is intentional, but it’s a little distracting.

Thank you for adding the text size options. I have okay eyes, but enlarging the text allows me to not need to hold the phone so close.

Some suggestions

Add ability to favorite communities and have them at the top of the communities list. Maybe swipe left to Unsubscribe and swipe right to Favorite
Font options
Add ability to cross-post
Add the list of subscribed communities as tick boxes for adding Multi-communities; maybe have Search as a box to select if necessary.
Draft saving of posts
Mod options (namely viewing the reported items)
Eventually some community icons would be neat (although the new icon is very pleasant)

Great to hear this kind of feedback!

I will look into the bugs you mentioned. Reading some of them I immediately already have a vague idea what could be the problem.

The suggestions are also great. Most of these are indeed already on my radar. My first goal is to fix the last bugs and finally push the V1 to the App Store, since I achieved all the basic features that I had in mind for the V1. Once that’s setup I’ll continue working on adding new features :D

I really appreciate that you take the time to understand and implement the changes that people suggest. And Lemma so far has seemed like a very well-rounded project, so props to you.

Are you planning on posting the App Store availability to !lemmyapps@lemmy.world ? Because Lemma is listed on the pinned post but I don’t see any posts made for it yet, and that could be a good place to drop the news.

My TestFlight is now showing “Tester Removed”.

[–] spacebunz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anyone else unable to install the app? I’ve been trying but it always just says unable to install app and the app icon is shadowed out

My TestFlight now shows “Tester Removed”.

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hmm strange, since the build should still be available:

Does the public link not work for you either? I also hope to push a new build this weekend, so perhaps that fixes this issue otherwise 🤞

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Shows this when going to the TestFlight join link.

[–] gromdroid@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

That’s very strange, since I haven’t removed anyone and I also can’t see this anywhere in the dashboard.

If you send me your email through a PM, I could check if adding you as tester manually might resolve this (:
