In this release:

  • New way to browse posts. Just click on an image in the feed. I’m calling this the light box feed. ALSO you can zoom into photos from this view.
  • User tagging
  • Lots of bug fixes

Lightbox feed

  • Zoom into photos!
  • Yes you can use vim h/j/k/l to navigate. Finally a sophisticated way to browse Lemmy
  • As of right now, this feed makes it slightly more difficult to engage with the comments.
    • If you click the comment button (to the left of the voting buttons) you can see the full posts
    • Eventually I’m going to make it so you can swipe up when browsing via the light box feed to view comments

User tagging

  • As of right now there is no way to backup or export your tagged users. I’m planning on adding a way to export data from the app

Upcoming

  • It’s not looking too promising, but I’m experimenting with MBin support
  • F-Droid!

Log in issue: (not sure where to post this, sorry if wrong place). I can’t log in on blorp app for ios (18.6.1). Phone and app are updated. Deleted blorp, reinstalled, still can’t log in. Turned off phone (about 5 minutes) then reinstalled blorp and tried to log in again and nothing, no error message just lemmy.zip. I was able to log in briefly yesterday after creating piefed account but tried to log in today and nothing.

Could you post some screenshots? Either here, private message, or matrix? When you click login, do you see a list of instances or just Lemmy.zip? What instance are you trying to login to.

Generally it’s better to provide more detail than less. Describe exactly what you see, and the more screenshots the better. Pictures really are worth 1000 words when it comes to debugging.

Reinstalled blorp, took lots of screenshots but unable to send to you because of new account and low reputation. Gonna figure out what matrix is. Thanks so much for being patient. I’m still trying to figure out my way around here.

No, I think it actually takes more patience from the person reporting the bug, because it usually requires some back and forth communication. Matrix is more of your standard messaging app. If you’re able to join, I’m @moseschrute:matrix.org. Either message me directly or join this room https://matrix.to/#/#blorp:matrix.org.

It’s done/sent coming from Chrys Anthem. Thanks for walking me through matrix and not making me choose between the red or blue pill.
