Bug report: posts types is not shown. by idunnololz in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

This layout doesn't exist yet. I think this layout isn't particularly hard to support so I can see if I can add it in for the next update.

Oh I see. Yeah I can change the behavior here.

Bug report: Dim read posts, gets enabled whenever the posts layout is changed. by idunnololz in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

This is intentional. Post appearance settings are per-layout. I.e. each layout has its own set of settings to give users maximum configurability. This is why Dim read posts re-enables each time you change the layout.

Ah that's why post types are not shown. It is considered redundant for that layout type as links are denoted by a translucent link text overlaid on the image and videos are denoted by a large play button.

Suggestion: Add feedback for the title length by idunnololz in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The max length is determined by the server so instead of hard coding a random number on the client I'm going to change the field to show a character count if the counter exceeds 200, but ultimately defer to the server for errors.

Bug: trying to login from my accounts results in wrong login error by idunnololz in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

HAH. I figured out the issue. I removed the password limit because PieFed's password limit is much longer than Lemmy's. Turns out this was the cause of the bug. Lemmy's password limit is 60 characters. It allows you to enter a password longer than 60 but if you do it silently truncates your password to 60. Because I removed the limit from the client, if your password is longer than 60 characters, the client will send the full password to the server. However the server will fail the login because the password will not match.

I'll add the logic back to truncate the password to 60 characters. This is technically more of a bug on the backend as the backend should be validating password and erroring if the password doesn't match the constraints (eg. it's too long).

Kimchi Fried Rice (lemmy.world)

I use NYT's kimchi fried rice recipe as the base, however I use a bit of chicken broth when the pot is a bit too dry and I add gochujang to add more sweetness. I also added broccoli so its more nutricious.

This time, the kimchi I used was 10 months old so it was pretty sour. I had to add a little bit of sugar as well to balance it out.

Found an ok solution to low counter space (lemmy.world)

submitted 4 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Our kitchen is small and we have always struggled with counter space. Saw these carts when shopping so I bought one and assembled it. I put all of our coffee and tea stuff on the cart.

I do have some concerns about power draw from both the coffee maker and the kettle on one power strip. Hopefully no one will try to make coffee and hot water at the same time.

[Release][v1.69.4] Hide Read V2 (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

17 comments fedilink

One of the most useful features of Summit is the ability to filter the post feed so that only unread posts are shown. This feature was known as hide read.

Although hide read did it's job, it was a confusing and sometimes annoying feature to use. It was halfway between an action and a toggle. When hide read is tapped, all read posts are hidden like which behaved like an action. However, when new posts are loaded, any read posts that are loaded will be omitted. This is where *hide read& acted like a toggle.

When a user refreshes the list (eg. pull to refresh), hide read disabled once again.

Long time Summit users might be used to how hide read works but it's definitely not an intuitive feature.

This update adds a toggle next to hide read adding new behavior for hide read. If the toggle is turned on, unread posts will always be hidden when posts are loaded even if the user uses pull-to-refresh.

Then the hide read toggle is on, an indicator will be shown to let the user know that only read posts will be shown. The indicator can be tapped to turn off hide read.

This update also fixes several bugs and continues to improve upon the performance of the app.

Full changelog

Add new FAB long press action to toggle hide read.
Add a setting to finish the app when closed. This setting only has an effect on Android 12 and up. When this setting is enabled with Predicitive Back, the app will close on single back press and it will finish. Note that due to implementation conflicts with Precitive Back, the normal Predicitive Back animation will unfortunately not be played.
Add setting to show navigation bar in post screen.
Add new layout type: smart list. Smart list uses the list layout for non image posts and the large list layout for image posts. This mimics the default layout on Reddit.
Change hide read to a combo button: a button on the left side that works like the old hide read effect and a switch on the right side.
Change the behavior of double tap to close to use the system default closing mechanism. On Android 11 or below, this change will have no effect. On Android 12 or up, the app will be moved to the background when double back pressed. This makes the app back press behavior consistent with the system.
Change the behavior of reselecting the home screen in the bottom navigation bar. Previously reselecting the home screen when the home screen was scrolled would reset the home screen. This meant certain state would be lost (eg. hide read state). After this change, reselecting the home screen will scroll the user back to the top of the screen.
Change Hide duplicate posts as read to also mark the post at read on the server.
Improve startup time of the app.
Optimize how the app generates default avatars.
Minor improvements to the create post screen.
Greatly improve the performance of "emoji images".
Fix a bug where if you launch the app with no internet then the app will continue to show a no internet error even if internet is re-established later.
Fix a bug when editing a comment where the old comment is shown instead of the new comment
Fix a bug where the wrong image is shown in the post list.
Fix a bug where the custom font is not applied to post titles if Prefer title text is on.
Fix a bug where the custom font is not applied to community names/usernames.
Fix a bug where the navigation rail would show when it shouldn't
Fix a few crashes that can occur in rare cases.
Fix a bug on web settings screen where unsaved changes warning is shown even if changes are saved.
Fix a bug when trying to sign in with a password longer than 60 characters on a Lemmy instance. Lemmy truncates all passwords to 60 characters. If you set a longer password, it doesn't actually use your entire password, only the first 60 characters. To prevent confusion, the client will truncate the password it sends to the Lemmy server to 60 characters so that you can continue to sign in with passwords longer than 60 characters.
Fix a crash when network is unstable.

Revisiting the hide read feature (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink

tl;dr If you want to skip the wall of text, please just tell me in the comments whether you want to keep the existing functionality of the Hide read action or if you prefer to change it to a toggle or something else entirely.

The Hide read action in the app hides all read posts. Behind the scenes, it also "flips a switch" so that any read posts loaded into the feed are filtered and hidden as well.

It makes the action sort of weird because it is both an action and a toggle built into the same button.

The purpose of the button is it guarantees that the user will only see posts they have not seen before. It's an extremely valuable feature and one that I use in almost every session.

Historically, the action works like this because back when the feature was first added, I asked the community for feedback about what the button should so and this is what we decided on.

In the past year or so, I have gotten more feedback about the button with many users asking if we can change the button to a toggle or something else.

So I decided to survey the users again to see if we can get to a common ground. If we cannot agree on one behavior I can also add a setting.

There are two options that I think would make the most sense:

Keep the existing behavior and make no changes to Hide read.
Turn Hide read into a toggle (eg. a switch).

To highlight the difference in behavior between option (1) and (2), with option (1) after you tap Hide read, if you refresh the feed, the app will revert back to showing everything. With option (2), after you flip the switch, your feed will refresh but will continue to only show unread posts.

Of course if you want to propose a completely different behavior from the 2, feel free to do so as well.

[Release][v1.68.0] User uploads list (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink

This is a small release that mainly add two things (1) a screen where you can view all of the uploaded media tied to an account and (2) it adds the concept of "templates".

Templates are similar to drafts, except they are meant to be reusable. Templates will most likely be useful for mods and admins.

For now, templates are only available for registration application rejections which are only for instance admins however there are plans to expand templates to mod actions as well in the future.

This release also fixes more bugs and adds some other minor features.

Full changelog

Add support for "Atkinson Hyperlegible™ Font" as a custom font option.
Add uploads screen. This is accessible from the You screen and will show you all of the media you've uploaded.
Add registration application rejection templates.
Tweaked some default settings. Changed shake to report feedback from On to Off. Changed Material You from Off to On.
Change the version item in About settings to copy the version code if long tapped.
Fix drop shadow on the old comment/post warning card.
Fix a bug where only the first line of a registration application is displayed.
Fix a bug where commenting when viewing a single comment chain causes weird behavior.
Fix a bug where an inbox message context is not shown because the comment thread is auto-collapsed due to downvote threshold being met.

400 Errors when hitting API endpoint alpha/site (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink

Hello! I am getting 400 errors when hitting the piefed.social. Hitting other piefed instances appear to work.

The exact error I get is:

{"code":400,"message":"{'my_user': {'instance_blocks': {0: {'site': ['Missing data for required field.']}}}}","status":"Bad Request"}

As an example I get this error when I make a GET request to https://piefed.social/api/alpha/site.

Note that I am making with request without an Authorization header.

Update

It seems that only alpha/site endpoint is broken. I can GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/federated_instances just fine.
