Impressive!
Minor bug report: seems like images with large resolutions become distorted to the point of being unwatchable in the current version. Opening the same image in a web browser does not distort, so the source image asset appears to be fine.
Example: https://lemmy.ml/post/30952149 /
Version: 1.63.0
I can't reproduce this issue on my end. This might be some sort of weird thumbnail error. I've seen these before where the thumbnail generated by Lemmy is of bad quality. The quality then changes later on, but the client has already cached the old thumbnail. I'm not 100% sure what a good fix would be.
Could it be that the thumbnail is being loaded from cache instead of the proper asset? I guess it might be possible to put some cache rules in place to alleviate that.
There are cache rules in place already. Its just that the images are cached for up to a day. Actually can you check to see if you can still reproduce the bug? The cache should be invalid by now so you should see the correct image if my hypothesis is correct.
Just checked again, the issue is still present.
This is very weird. Can I ask which Android device you are using? I tested this on three different devices across accounts on 4 different instances but I am unable to reproduce anything.
I'm running a Pixel 7 Pro with Android 15.
Let me know if you need me to drop a breakpoint, I work with Android dev so this would not be hard for me
Sorry for the late reply, been busy. Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to drop the breakpoint. There are a dozen possible issues here. One thing I should check though is your settings. If you can, can you please export your settings and DM me?
To export settings go to: Settings > Import & export settings > Export settings > Copy to clipboard. Then you can paste the settings to me in a DM. I don't think I need your "database" info so feel free to uncheck that.
Fwiw, it seems like the issue is no longer present now, so maybe it was a backend issue. Let me know if you still want those settings, but reproduction might be impossible at this point.
Happens to me too
Can you link the post where it happened? Thank you.
With history disabled, communities still show up in "recent". Would be nice if they wouldnt. Thanks
This happens because these two things are tracked by different "histories". I'll add a roadmap item to disable recent communities as well.
Is it possible to add a tap to close images when opened with quick view? Right now you have to swipe or hit back to close them, and swipe doesn't work if you zoom in.
this is a bit weird because right now tap toggles the ui and I don't want to change this behavior. Can you think of another way you'd prefer to close images?
A couple of apps I used in the past had the tap to close for images/videos, and a long hold for the UI.
If you don't wanna change it, not a big deal. It's just a muscle memory for me to tap to close, and completely a personal preference. The app rocks regardless.
Oh I see. Yeah I can add this to the roadmap.
Nice work! One thing i feel that would be nice is a easier way to search in communities. Now i need to go to search and filter by community. Is it ppssible to search from the community page? I think that would feel better
Added to roadmap.
Hey, for some reason i can't seem to be able to upload images anymore when I choose to edit them
I audited the library I was using for cropping and it's just really not good. I'm switching to another library in the next update.
I just switched to Summit as I am a mod and this seems to be the only app that sends notifications for reports. Really great job here.
~~I do have one request though. Can we "favorite" communities and have them shown under a separate header in the home/community panel?~~
~~Or at the minimum, I love the moderation sort filter to see posts from all moderated communities, but could we have a moderated community section on the side bar with all our communities listed underneath? It would make navigating to these communities much easier.~~
Thanks for a wonderful app!
Edit: just realized there is a menu to the left where the bookmarks are stored. I had no idea there was an overflow menu here. Perhaps you could add a tripple-line hamburger menu icon on the to left to indicate this. Very happy to see my request for bookmarks/favorites was added.
When sharing links to the app and reaching the post submittion screen, it would be nice to have recent communities appear in the community field when you tap it before you type anything. As a mod and frequent poster, this would streamline the posting process for me.
It is clear that in 2025 this is the best Lemmy app out there, hands down.
Thank you for your feedback. I'll add the recent community suggestion to the roadmap.
Amazing! Thanks!
