Summit

Hey, is Summit compatible with 0.19.4 or should I hold off upgrading my instance? Do you develop Summit on latest stable, release clients, or latest (like an insane person)?

Feature request: Place a checkbox next to the currently selected sort which sets "hide read posts".

This way I do not have to issue two requests and two button clicks, if I switch the sort order. This should make the sort-mechanism more convenient.

Additionally one could either shortly show a toast that "automatic hide read posts" was set.

Alternatively a succinct icon could be plaed next to it.

I love the app so far but I am having trouble with opening Lemmy links from other instances. When someone links to say a Lemmy.world post, I am hit with a window saying I have to have a Lemmy.world account in order to vote and such. This is incredibly inconvenient, I don't know how voyager does it but voyager just lets me view the post and vote/etc. in my instance without forcing me to change accounts. Anyway to get rid of this behavior so it is more like voyager? I want other Lemmy links to be opened in my instance so I can vote and such.

Also unrelated but just now I was unable to upload a picture from summit and had to switch apps to upload the photo.

I should have mentioned this months ago. When I tap on the Save icon on a post or comment, I get a notification that the post or comment has been saved yet the Save icon doesn't change. Same if I tap to unsave.

Please upvote my comment below if you want community icons to be on by default. Down vote it if you prefer having them off by default.

Here are some screen shots of what the icons would look like for some layouts:

The next big feature on the menu is "Offline mode". This feature is difficult to tackle so I'm going to be implementing some other features that should make it easier.

The first is pre-fetching. Prefetching can also improve the base user experience so I will be looking at possible things that can be pre-fetched.

Changes so far:

• Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
• Added support for community icons in the post feed.
• Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
• Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
• Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
• Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.

Update

I'm changing the default on community icons to "on" since a good portion of you want it on by default. This will be configurable on a per-layout basis so you can always turn it off.

This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.

The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.

When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.

This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.

Full changelog

• Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
• Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
• Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
• Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
• Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
• Fixed a minor bug where the background of the inbox screen does not take up the entire height of the screen.
• Fixed a bug when using the screenshot feature to take a screenshot of a comment without the post. Remove the divider at the top of the screenshot that serves no purpose.
• Fixed a bug where sending an image to the app would show a bottom sheet but the bottom sheet would not be expanded.

Just thought of an idea at 4:52 am. What if you could long tap a post you don't like to see, tap something like "snooze posts like this for a week", and then all posts related to the subject would be hidden for a week but the filter will self destruct after the time limit.

Would people be interested in a feature like that?

I came up with the idea after I noticed that Lemmy, like Reddit, will cycle through certain topics. Sometimes you really aren't interested or there's simply too many posts about the topic you just want to tune it out.

Anyways if people want this let me know in the comments!

These two posts were pinned by communities that I follow, but since then they've never disappeared. I don't know if this is intended, but it seems annoying, given that the subscribed tab is all I use.

These post start to get annoying, but I don't knkw how to get rid of them without blocking the OPs for no real reason. :(

This update adds a new feed: all subscribed. This is the first feed that combines the feeds of multiple accounts, it lists posts from your subscribed communities from all of the accounts.

This update also reorganizes the app settings as well as some other changes. See the full changelog below for details

Full changelog

• Added a new setting to hide the UI in the image viewer by default.
• Added a new feed: all subscribed. This feed combines the subscribed feed of all signed in accounts.
• Moved the setting to make the notification bar completely transparent from Misc settings to Theme
• Moved the about and summit community setting options under a new category: About
• Renamed the existing "Post and comments" settings page to "Post and comments appearance".
• Removed the settings page for Comment list and added a new settings page for Post and comments settings.
• Moved the "Post appearance" settings page to be under the "Posts feed" settings screen.

• Fixed a bug where performing certain actions in the settings screen will cause all switch based settings to reset to off.
• Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.

Update

Had to bump to v1.35.1 because I forgot to update the version number. v1.35.1 was submitted to the play store last night but it is still in review almost 24 hours later. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon :x.

Update

v1.35.1 is fully rolled out now.

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Changes so far

• Moved the setting to make the notification bar completely transparent from Misc settings to Theme
• Moved the about and summit community setting options under a new category: About
• Renamed the existing "Post and comments" settings page to "Post and comments appearance".
• Removed the settings page for Comment list and added a new settings page for Post and comments settings.
• Moved the "Post appearance" settings page to be under the "Posts feed" settings screen.

• Fixed a bug where performing certain actions in the settings screen will cause all switch based settings to reset to off.
• Fixed a bug where the app mistakes certain links as Lemmy links.

Update

Haven't posted an update in a while so here it is. I've been working on adding general cross-account support for the past week and it's a big feature so I didn't really have much to update other than it's WIP. If I can't get the feature into a shippable state by this weekend I will do a release without it since there's plenty in this release already.

Note that by cross-account support I mean the supporting acting on a different account without switching the current account. This is a requirement for things like "cross account feeds" eg. multi-account subscribed feed.

We're going back to implementing new features with this release. However just like most release, this one also contains a lot of bug fixes and general improvements.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to choose a "quick action" for the post feed floatiing action button (FAB) (button at the bottom). When set, this action will trigger when the FAB is long pressed.
• Added setting to show edited times in post/comment headers. This will be on by default.
• Updated the design of the user profile screen slightly.
• Improve options menus even further.
• Changed user profile images to be tappable in comments.
• Handle Lemmy links to custom frontends.
• Updated translations. (Thank you translators)
• Fixed a bug where comment details do not wrap when collapsed.
• Fixed a bug when viewing information about moderated communities/subscribed communities.
• Fixed a crash when trying to preview an extremely high resolution image.
• Fixed a crash when interacting with spoiler tags.
• Fixed a rare crash.

Update

I accidentally did a release without changing the changelog within the app so I am bumping the version to v1.34.1 to address this issue.

Update 2

Fixed some bugs with the release. Releasing as v1.34.3.

Update 3

Fixed a bug where the edited time displayed was incorrect. This fix is released in v1.34.5.

When tapping on a URL in the post content that points towards a linked post, Summit leads to Page Not Found.

Post to test here. Tapping on the link roadmap for lemmy-ui-next in the post leads to Page Not Found.

I'm going back to implementing more user requests.

Changes so far:

• Updated the design of the user profile screen slightly.

Welcome to v1.33.x.

This release is going to be a little different from the others.

While other releases are centered around big features or tasks, this release is centered around a large number of small changes.

Due to this, I am going to be breaking this release into multiple small point releases. The reasons for doing so are:

1. Since this release doesn't hinge on any big task's completion, there is nothing stopping me from doing releases after completing a number of small tasks.
2. Each change is aimed at improving the user experience. Thus getting these changes out as quickly as possible is important. There's no reason to prolong the end user's suffering from a less polished experience.

As always please feel free to provide any feedback/bug reports in the comments.

Full changelog

v1.33.5

• Auto-clear notifications if user looks at inbox screen.
• Updated the UI of the community info screen.
• Fixed a bug where the FAB button would be in the wrong spot if the keyboard is opened and closed.
• Fixed some minor bugs when searching for communities.
• Fixed a bug where image previews are blurry.
• Fixed some image viewer bugs.

v1.33.4

• Mention suggestions. When creating a post or comment, mentions (starting with ! or @) will show suggestions based what is typed.
• Changed long tap on an image in the post list to open the image options menu. Previously it would preview the image full screen. This change was made to make long tapping more consistent (long tapping things usually opens a context menu).
• Image preview redesign. Move buttons to the bottom of the screen for easier access. Translucent UI. UI auto hides on zoom.
• Fixed a bug with the layout "Large list" where images would be clipped on the sides.
• Fixed a bug where tapping "Share image" will cause the share sheet to show up constantly.

v1.33.3

• Rework the community options menu. Organized and updated the options shown.
• Added subscribe/unsubscribe as an action to the community options menu & link menu (for communities).
• Added a solid background color to community and profile icons so they don't look odd when placed in front of a banner.
• Added undo button to save post/comment snackbar.
• Fixed some snack bar layout issues.

v1.33.2

This is equivalent to release v1.33.1. It's unique to the Github release and was done to address a build issue.

v1.33.1

• Fixed two rare-ish crashes.
• Overhauled the community navigation logic. This should hopefully eliminate more navigation bugs.

v1.33.0

• Update message layout on the inbox screen to clearly indicate the sender and receiver.
• Better blocking experience. Blocking a user/community or instance should now show a snackbar when the action completes with a button to undo.
• Link menu enhancements. Long tapping "links" (eg. user name) will show more rich options that are specific to the link type. For instance long tapping a community link will show community options as well as link options.
• Removed setting "sharing images directly". Due to the link menu enhancements, the setting for "sharing images directly" is now obsolete because both options are always present for images.
• Fixed a bug where WEBM videos will not play.
• Fixed some weird navigation bugs.

Is anyone else having issues with the redgif.coms opening? Is it summit or something else? It seems I can get some to open but the majority just will not. I just wasn't sure if reddit was blocking them.
