I’m excited to present a major overhaul of the app with a ton of new features and enhancements. This TestFlight version is your exclusive preview to explore and test everything that's changed.

As some of you may have noticed, this update took longer than expected. Hopefully, it was worth the wait, though! Behind the scenes a lot has changed, this also means that you have to login again and that all your previous settings are lost. I get that this is not ideal, but I figured it was the most stable way to do the update. This does of course give you the opportunity to have a look at all the new settings while you're at it 😉

🌟 What's New:

  • New Settings: Dive into a revamped settings menu with added options for a more personalized experience.
  • Customizations Galore: I’ve introduced a range of customization features. Test them out and make the app truly yours!
  • Improved Performance: Enjoy a smoother and faster experience as I've fine-tuned the app's performance to provide you with the best possible experience.
  • Fresh Icons: Say hello to new icons that add a touch of modernity and personalization to your app experience.

🕵️‍♂️ Your Mission:

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)

Both tapping to read and tapping the check box in the messages view fails to make unread messages as read.

Also unable to post, my instance signed in properly and I can post from Voyager with the same login just fine.

Sorry if it has already been suggested, but I’d love to see an option to separate and display the downvotes. A little switch in the settings menu would be perfect, so people could choose if they do or do not want this displayed. It’s atm what’s keeping me from using Lemma all the time. Lemmy has been a source of informations for many interests I have and downvotes help me a lot when it comes to reading comments. If a comment has 76 upvotes and 74 downvotes, it will be displayed as (+)2 which isn’t helpful in many cases. Of course, I believe users should be able to turn this on/off at will. I know some of us don’t like seeing downvotes.

Wow. This app is so damned polished already!

The biggest feature I notice missing in almost all Lemmy apps, is jumping to the top on the first tap of the tab icon of the view you’re in.

E.g. you’ve scrolled down a bit while in the Posts tab, then you tap the Posts icon, in Apollo it would jump to the top of the list view in Posts, then second tap would take you to the communities subscribed slideout view.

Lemma does the second function but not the first. Would love to see this added as it’s a great quality of life feature IMO.

Am I missing something with the greyed out options?

I really enjoy the app so far, so thank you for your work!

The markdown option are really something else here - makes things so much easier. I do like to quote a lot in my posts, so copying parts of the comment I’m replying to would be really great! I really don’t know how hard or easy this is to implement…

Keep up the good work and have a nice day!

Bonus suggestion: are multicommunities (akin to multireddits) on the horizon?

Thanks for all of the work on the app. I like how snappy and clean it is. I’m also big on the customization options, so I love the sepia color theme option and comment cascade options. I’d love to have a few icon options whenever possible. The markdown editor is also pretty welcomed. The search option is pretty nice too.

While making this post, it looks like the text box runs off to the right, and the markdown editor blocks the the visible text box from moving appropriately. The post also was not able to be posted via this app.

Some amazing additions I’d like to request are the default feed option (ie Home/Subscribed), groups/multi communities, and favorite communities. Also, text size options and a “Mark above as read” button (sometimes I scroll past and haven’t read it but still want to hide it).

Thanks again for creating something nice.

edit: it looks like the multi-group is an option but the button doesn’t currently lead anywhere. Also, the smart search feature seems to be one of the best for finding new communities. I put myself in the place of a new user and tried to search for communities on a few other apps; it’s surprisingly difficult to find active communities. I also just noticed the bars hiding for full-screen scrolling, which I’m a big fan of.

Hello gromdroid! You started very gorgeous project - Lemma, but now this project looks as paused. Can you say anything about Lemma status? Testflight version of Lemma will expired soon 😔 Thank you for your work!

I am really liking the first public TestFlight build. All of the key features are here and performance is very good.

Everything looks to be working well but I do have two points.

Firstly the mark read option seem to be a little ‘sensitive’. If I tap a post and then return a few posts after the one I tap on are also marked as read. A small things but one to be aware of.

Secondly whilst typing this message I am seeing a fair amount of post ‘jumping’ and copying of the message already written. The last one is a little odd. If I keep typing it sorts itself.

Finally I can see that you have text size as a holder in the options. Please see if you get to that one soon - as someone who struggles with his sight (I put it down to age!) the comment text particularly is a little too small.

All-in-all you have written a really good app. I look forward to following and trying out the updates as they are released. Well done.

The update is great but for gestures I’d love a way to keep swiping right to upvote/downvote/etc but allow any swipe left to go back (a la Apollo). Right now you have to disable all swipes to be able to “swipe anywhere to go back”.

Also I would love to be able to swipe right on the main feed to go back to the last comment feed I was drilled into. I miss that feature so much from Apollo.

Things I Like:

  • The new icon and color options are cool!

  • Multi-communities!

  • Still love the sepia theme and comment cascade color options.

  • The gif scrubber is always super helpful, and it feels a bit more tuned now and not so sensitive (some short gifs before were really touchy to scrub).

  • Hide Read button on Feed.

  • I’m not sure if it was present before, but the Mod, Admin, Dev tags are very nice.

  • Switching icon left/right/none and thumbnail size options for Compact View.

  • The Tap to Collapse toggle can be set to only comments. I like this because I never really need to close a post and accidentally close it trying to click a link in the post.

  • The Lemma scroll distance was a fun little finding.

Things that didn’t work:

  • I could not logout of my account. I added a second account from another instance (I didn’t see a toggle to switch between, I think it just logged in “overtop” of my first account). I was able to remove the second account, but when I tried to logout of the original account, the Logout button didn’t log me out. [cue Sword Art Online - “Guys…there is no…Logout button…”]

  • Directly clicking the link/image from the Feed sometimes only marks it as read and does not actually open the post or link/media.

  • I think the No Subscribed in All option resulted in not loading my Subscribed posts at all. All and Local worked, but Subscribed only loaded when I disabled the No Subscribed in All toggle.

  • Switching to a sort other than the default for the Feed switches right back to the selected default sort.

Things to maybe change:

  • Please please add text size options, at least for comments and posts’ text.

  • Disable Hide the Scroll Bars while in the menus. Sometimes I need to pull down quite a bit to get them back to exit the menus.

  • With Show Username at Top disabled for posts, they disappear from comments as well.

  • The Search is generally very nice and actually finds things I’m looking for. I think the filters could be a bit more clear though. If possible, maybe add No NSFW as a filter; because even with it de-selected, there are NSFW results that appear.

Thanks again for all of the work that goes into this. It always amazing me what people like you can accomplish to share ideas and experiences with each other. Or cat memes or whatever ya know. This update makes it by far one of my favorites to use.

Visual quirk (lemmy.ml)

There’s no space between the last post of a page and the first post of the next page when disabling show page endings.

Status Code 502? (i.imgur.com)

Awesome update! But I’m getting a status code for all images. I’m posting a picture to hopefully help. Thanks!

18
 
 

If it’s possible, I would like to see the authors instance on posts next to his name.

Really digging the new update, great work!

19
 
 

Please give us the option to block (not filter) a community. I mean the option that is integrated in Lemmy. Great would be an option to do it also directly from feed post. Thanks!

20
 
 

It looks like this is probably in the works since the Use System Text Size option doesn’t do anything currently but just in case it isn’t I’d like the option to increase text size from the system default.

21
 
 

I have an issue, that upvotes sometimes do not register correctly. I receive one haptic and not second one, and the upvote is not placed. I have to repeat it twice or three times for it to take place. Thanks! Edit: I figured it out! If I swipe fast enough, then the feature is not recognized. If I swipe slow or slower, then everything is fine.

22
 
 

Regardless of the switch selection, the menu item is always gray.

23
 
 

When the username display is turned off from in the settings, the username display disappears in the post details

24
 
 

When I go through profile -> posts, I cannot see my own posts, it always says that I’ve reached the bottom. I have set to hide read posts in feed, but didn’t enable this option in lemmy UI.

Thanks!
