Hey everyone.]
So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).
I’m gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you’re having that I should know about or any new feature requests.
Sorry for the bad comms but I’m making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.
Cheers, Lj

Multiple images in comments have been pretty buggy, I’ll tap one and it goes to the other image
Do you have an example?
It mostly seems to have issues on the side of images, but some just can’t be tapped on.
Edit: from here though it happens most times there are multiple images displayed together.
edit 2: on s22 ultra if that helps!
A new spammer today made me think of another feature request: automatically refresh the currently viewed comment section after blocking a user to instantly remove the blocked comments.
More ads? Seriously?
I pay, and its worth it, free is never free.
Sorry what is this trying to say?
You linked to kernel.org implying that some things listed as free are actually free. I screenshot the bottom of the kernel.org page that lists the financial supporters of the nonprofit.
I was pointing out that free to you and me is still not free it’s still supported but does not work for profit or sell it’s production as the financial supporters donate their money.
free is never free.
This phrasing is specifically used around the idea of “if you’re not paying, you’re the product.” The kernel is free, in that it costs nothing to use and it does not collect data. Free things still do cost time/effort, which is often equated with money, but those are actually two different things that are being conflated. Now if you’d said something along the lines of “free stuff still costs peoples time,” yeah I’d agree with that, but that’s not what the sentiment your message communicated.
Absolutely no one is going around saying that free stuff doesn’t take effort.
Then pay for it. This is one guy soloing an app in his free time. If you want more features it requires more of his time to work on them and time spent developing this app is time not working his full time job making steady income. We have no right to ask for more of his time for free.
I’m fine paying, but $20 to remove ads is a very big ask for a mobile app, when it was maybe $3 or $5 for the old reddit app. Especially so when it seems he comes and goes and updates to a very in development app have stopped for months at a time.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making any demands, I agree with everything you say, but the ad removal option is quite a lot especially when there are many free lemmy apps too.
Yes. Seriously.
Is there a way to make “deleted by user” stand out more as a system message? The current styling makes it look like they literally commented “deleted by user”
I want to filter out image posts. Lots of communities have good content but are plagued with useless unfunny reddit-tier memes.
Hi! so far it works great.
I only have this network error whenever I try to set “New” as default sorting in profile settings.
I tried to post a screenshot but the image upload also fails here ಠ_ಠ
Edit: I meant to say Settings> Account Settings. The error notification always says “Network error. Unable to save.”
It would be nice to have a quick action to change thumbnails to the opposite side.
Which?
Just opposite of the current position. Would only apply to views where thumbnails can be on one side of course (small, smaller, compact)
Feature request: Saved post/comment categories similar to Reddit Gold. I’d love to long press the saved icon to supply a category. Then list all of the items of that category on the saved items page.
I understand that Lemmy currently does not support this.
Umm… Redgifs stopped working
Dad please turn the porn back on
Fix is going live. I completely rewrote this part and should be able to fix it remotely in future without deploying a new apk.
I’m having an issue where the toggle for post-title -with-share when sharing an image does nothing - but I don’t see anyone else with the issue, so maybe it’s just me?
Just chiming in to say thanks for the update and all the hard work!
Just wanted to say thanks for the post, even if it was a quick one to say releases are coming. I had been considering signing up for your paid version but was hesitant to pull the trigger because I feared the project had been abandoned. Since it’s not, I’m signing up now. Appreciate all the work you put into the app!
I’m partly colorblind and it’s super hard for me to see when I upvoted or downvoted a post. Just making the up or down arrow bolder (or circled) once it’s been clicked would fix the issue completely for me and all types of colorblind people.
Thank you for the great work 💛
Can i ask if you meant to put a yellow heart or did you thought you were putting a red one ?
It’s blue, you plonker
You too ? Or is it me ?
Yellow is actually quite normally visible for most colorblind people. Blue is as well, interestingly.
The most typical type of colorblindness involves inability to distinguish between red and green.
Yellow is very visible, it was intentional but with no specific purpose :) There are multiple types of color blindness but all of them will be aggravated if a font or shape is thin or just outlined (which is not the case with a filled in heart emoji)
Is there a particular significance of a yellow one?
Edit: oh dammit I just got it.
Added support for the next release to change the colors.
Which view type are you using?
I’m not sure where to find which one I’m using. I use dark mode and the colors I’m having trouble with if the font is too thin or small are the orange and light blue. Changing the font weight or adding another style would also mean this is visible in night mode on Android (which removes all colors)
Edit : I investigated the viewtypes and they all have the same issue of using the same font size and weight, just using the orange/blue color for the number of upvotes and the selected arrow.
Edit 2 : increasing brightness helps a lot with the colors, but I’m mostly using Sync at night on minimum brightness.
The best way for you to visualize the issue would be to activate black and white night mode on Android :)
Thanks for the update.
Would allowing setting a custom color help?
Not sure how I would use that. Do you mean 2 custom colors to change both the default orange and blue? I can perfectly distinguish them when they’re on a bolder shape (🟠🔵), it’s just a lot harder (or sometimes impossible) on a thin line/symbol.
Again, the most efficient way to handle it would be to have a different style for the selected arrow (bolder, bigger, underlined or circled for example), on top of its color. It would then work as well in bedtime mode (b/w and low brightness) for everyone, not just for color blind people :)
I think bedtime mode activates by default on newer Android devices after 10pm when the phone is charging. That’s how mine (OnePlus) was set up.
I see my initial reply was upvoted about 30 times. Statistically speaking, I don’t think these would be only from color blind people
I’d love it if clicking on the thumbnail of an image opened the raw image, instead of the compressed view, so instead I have to go into the post and click the image there for full resolution. It’s especially noticeable for larger images with small text.
I’m eagerly waiting for separate upvote and downvote counters 😼 but let me know if you were only asking for features not discussed previously to shut up next time
