Same problem as the original post linked. In the comments someone gave the solution but deleted the comment. I've tried to copy-paste to see what it was, but it says Permanently Deleted. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've enjoyed using Connect but I've got no clue how it got this big.

Connect automatically hides every post I click on. It also, at least on my phone, often closes down and restarts when I switch apps or lock my phone which causes to me lose any comment I was in the middle of typing because, even with drafts ON, it would forever hide that post and there's no where for me to find it again. This has been the most frustrating app feature and nothing comes close to it.

Btw I tried to disable every 'hide post' option in settings, but Connect still hides every post I open once.

A history of visited or hidden posts will solve the issue.

I'd also like to thank the app devlopers for keeping the app light, fast, and ad-free at least for the time being.

Would be nice to have a user's instance displayed in the results on the user search page. I was glad to see the change for the feed and post page and it would be helpful to be able to distinguish who's who at a glance. Particularly when you're trying to find a specific user and there's multiple accounts across instances with the same nickname.

Is this a Connect issue or a Catbox issue?

When an inline video is present, Lemmy Connect doesn't display it - just a blank space.

Eg. This post, number 10: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/28135123

On the web interface it works, so it ought to work in Connect too.

Lemmy Connect attempts to add ?format=webp to the image URL when loading .gif image, this makes many Lemmy servers return an error. When opening the post in the web browser, without the extra addition to the image URL, the image loads correctly.

I'm upset that a meme I tried to remake with Unicode box drawing characters lines up terribly in apps: https://lemmy.ca/post/28490027 Shouldn't code blocks render in monospace?

On Lemmy's web frontend it's perfect:

On Connect it looks like this:

On Jerboa it's basically the same:

Eternity does use monospace but the box drawing characters seem to be too wide.

All I can find about it here is one post from a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/1492857

Hey, I saw the link to this community in my settings today and just wanted to say thanks for the app. I use it every day.

Like "don't preload images on cell network"

Hi there, I've got this issue that when I try to upload an image it just doesn't work. It doesn't give me any error messages, the image is simply not uploaded. I click upload and nothing happens. If it's a screenshot, sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. Connect doesn't give me any feedback if the image is uploading at all, or if the request was denied or ignored or whatever.

The issue seems to be worse when trying to upload an image in a comment. Has anybody else encountered this problem?

This seems to have surfaced when trying to open an Mbin magazine from Connect (via Lemmy of course), by tapping on them in the subs list (or searching/tapping).

If I search for !teletext@fedia.io or !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io they both give this error, so I think it's something to do with Mbin magazines. I haven't seen it happen on Lemmy communities.

Hopefully tapping those links will show the error - they do here.

Right now, youtube has its own preference option, for method of opening. Could we expand this to allow users to input domains and select an opening method for them?

Generally, I want to open videos in app and articles in browser. I don't know if there's a better way to achieve this than giving users an option per domain, with custom domain input, but I'm open to other methods.

I often want to copy some phrase from a post to search it on the web. Long-pressing post text minimizes this post into a single line, which is not very useful IMO, I would rather have text selection cursor like in a web browser.

Say I start typing a comment, then decide to not bother. Instinctively I delete what I had typed, then press back. The UI asks me for confirmation to leave even though the field is blank. It should just go without confirmation if the field is blank.

I suspect it does this because it has a draft saved, but the current contents of the text box should take priority over a draft.

EDIT: Can confirm the update just fixed this, thanks for the quick fix!

Since the last update, I can't back out of the Post screen using hardware or in-app back buttons. The only way to back out is to first type something then hit back, which triggers the Stay/Leave popup. Before picking either option it already backs out of and discards the post, then choosing Leave backs out one more screen. Picking Stay does nothing.

Starting yesterday, Connect hard crashes when you attempt to click on the Inbox and the same happens if you click on the notification bell showing that there are messages.

As of this morning, the Inbox sidebar label is coloured Red instead of Blue.

Connect Version 1.0.190 Android v13 with latest security patches

Just started today. Possibly related to the recent updates.

Swiping to back out still works, at least for images

v1.0.190

This morning, connect is empty. All view modes are blank like the screenshot. Randomly ONE post shows up if I refresh a LOT, but immediately disappears. I can read and view my profile, but any posts I try and load from there are empty too.

Edit: I appear to be able to scroll the blank space for quite some time.

Editedit: other clients do not appear to be affected.

I just recently got the 190 update pushed. It mentioned lots of fixes. One was image handling.

I have found that now exiting an image is a bit slow or glitchy. A single gesture to go back does not exit and instead it needs two. Tapping an image instead still closes it but there is a delay that wasnt there before.

I'm on a pixel 7pro with gesture navigation.

After editing a comment, UI fails to load the next page. Haven't tested if it's only in non-native instances.

Anyway, if I want to review an edit, I have to hit back twice, refresh, then scroll to find my comment again.

Most don't load for me. Just get a black screen. The ones I've checked were mp4s from imgur. Not sure if that accounts for all of them though.

Edit: I think it started after the most recent update. Edit 2: mp4s from catbox.moe also doesn't work. It shows a spinner at the bottom but never loads.

Looking at the blown-up thumbnails while waiting for the full-size images to load is pretty uncomfortable for my eyes... they search for detail that isn't there yet, and get strained. If there was an option to just see a spinning wheel or similar, I'd choose it in a heartbeat. Alternatively, displaying the image line by line as it loads (slow scan from top to bottom) would be even better, as it would allow me back out before loading the whole thing.

I may have missed it, but is there a way to see all of my subscriptions at once?
