Hi all, just some small fixes and a much requested feature in this update. I made the arrow hit targets a bit bigger so they're easier to click. Also comment navigation got a fix and should work more reliably now. This release brings community suggestions to the 'Create a post' page so the list should auto-populate as you type.

Please use this thread for any feedback about the changes! The update will hopefully go live tomorrow.

Cheers, Kuro

Thanks for your hard work, everything seems to be working perfectly ๐Ÿ™

Suggestions for upcoming beta releases:

  • bottom navigator bar footprint could be smaller
  • ability to manually sort the subs in the favorites list

Thanks I'll make a note!

We needs disable option for volume key scrolls posts.

[โ€“] carlosfm@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, please...

[โ€“] Bak@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for your work!

A request: hiding an instance from a post on the front page should be the instance the post is in, not where the OP's account is from

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! This is now the way it behaves on the latest beta (1.0.91)

[โ€“] Bak@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Amazing, thank you!

One thing I noticed on the latest few updates is that (at least in card view which is what I use), pressing on the comment icon comment icon for a post brings up the screen to reply to the post instead of loading the comment thread (which is my expected response to that button). I'm fine having a dedicated reply button for a post but if that is the case, I think the icon should change to make it more obvious that that is what this button does. Like the reply button that appears elsewhere in the app

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback! I've updated the icon on 1.0.91

[โ€“] WigglingWalrus@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

May way to shift all the buttons on a post to the right? At the moment the up vote/down vote is on the left and I can't see a way of changing it.

[โ€“] twistedtxb@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

.94 bug report: sometimes the back button refuses to work. I can't seem to find the exact thing that triggers the issue, but I'd say 1/3 of the times it stops working.

Never had this issue in previous releases

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Just pushed 1.0.95 which should fix the back button issue.

[โ€“] twistedtxb@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Fixed! ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks! Just pushed 1.0.95 which should fix the back button issue.

Tried the beta.

[Design issues]

-I like the new post icons (upvote, downvote, etc.) but there is a lot of empty space underneath. I recommend a similar design for the icons in the comment bar.

[Bug report]

-~~Volume control comment navigation doesn't work (only scrolls after clicking on screen) and there is no option to turn it off.~~ Edit: fixed with 1.0.95, but I would also like an option to turn it off

[Feature request]

-An in app player for videos and gifs

-A section to see recently opened, upvoted, downvoted, hidden posts (I know it's hard since it's not implemented in Lemmy yet)

[โ€“] Dadbod89@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been testing Connect against Jerboa and Liftoff, Connect still takes it! I wish the thumbnails performed better though, I'm seeing less previews/thumbnails on Connect vs the other apps. If that could be addressed, I'll go right ahead and delete the others.

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll take a look at the thumbnails! Could you send me an example of a post where it's not showing up on Connect?

[โ€“] Dadbod89@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My linked image might be a bad example, but I know it mostly happens with gifs. I tried screenshoting the posts it was happening to, but I can't seem to view said posts because I had "hide read posts" and"scrolling past post marks as read" on, so they're gone.

On a related note, I turned off both settings and cleared my hidden posts log, but I still can't seem to view the posts I was trying to screenshot! Using a Pixel 5A, Android version 13.

EDIT: When I send a comment recently, it death spirals until I back out, but the comment does post. I don't believe this was happening before, so might be a part of your recent update? Thanks again for paying attention to lil ol' me ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] Denalduh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The new update broke zooming in on pictures. The volume rocker now controls comment navigation but there's no option in the settings to disable this feature.

[โ€“] oiez@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I liked the old 'comments' link way better, took me a minute to figure out that it wasn't just a bug. It's less clear now what is the upvote number and what's the comment number, maybe I'll get used to it but just wanted to say it's a downgrade in clarity IMO. Besides that, amazing app, been using it for weeks and it's the best one ๐Ÿ‘

[โ€“] Gazumbo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks for implementing the swipe up/down to dismiss an image!

This is totally not important compared to implementing other features but is there a way to make the gesture more fluid so the image loves with your drag until you let go? Sync for Redditvs implentation as an example.

Edit: I think it already is doing what I said but sometimes it's not sticking with the drag and snapping back/snapping back as well as dismissing the image.

[โ€“] cc8@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Keep up the good work! Connect is ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Back button doesn't work in 1.0.94, nothing happens.

[โ€“] kuro_neko@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Just pushed 1.0.95 which should fix the back button issue.

[โ€“] tomten@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, solved the problem

[โ€“] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Perhaps I am missing it, I get notifications for comment replies but not for moderator reports. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Also for reports I don't get an option to comment on what the report is about. That would be a nice feature.

[โ€“] RxBrad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Extremely minor request....

  • When shortening post text on the post feed, cut the text off at the end of a word, and follow with "..." (instead of the current hard-cutoff at a certain character limit, which tends to cut the last word off partway)
