We could also bring support but it's maybe a little too much for what is supposed to do?

@apps

What would be the use case for this?

Please first fix #nitter support before adding #LaTeX

@ASP
Nitter is fixed, you have to change the default instance.
Currently nitter.net throws a 403, they suggest to switch while they will enable back RSS feeds on their instance.

@apps

How can the default instance be changed?

@apps

Found it, went ahead and set "nitter.nl" as the default Twitter frontend domain, still not possible to create a list with public nitter timelines 🫤

I am using version 3.23.1

@ASP @apps

All instances (currently 6) with the update status 20.08.2023 or newer are working again.

3 has rss feed

@apps
You already support the LaTeX math environments.
For text formatting there is now markdown support, which is more readable than LaTeX without having rendering it.
Apart from mathstodon.xyz - in the Webinterface - I don't know where else math environments are supported.

Haven't tested it, but combining both would solve most issues, don't it?

Overall I think it would be too much.

PS: writing LaTeX on Android devices without a physical keyboard is not something I would like to do.

@apps

I use #latex daily but I doubt I would use it for social media posts. I'm very happy with the #latex math support already available. This is my main reason for using #Fedilab.

Thanks for the great work.

@apps
I think it would be very useful for users who follow accounts on servers that support it. This is my case, for instance. But I don't think it is a priority.

@apps
I have other unresolved issues with Fedilab.

1) For months I have been pushed to the top of new messages instead of starting at the bottom message. This had worked for quite some time before.

2) Also, I am missing the button to remotely retrieve a thread. Can't find the button in the settings anymore.

3) Always already when playing videos the bottom list with the 3 points 🔽⏺️⏹️ is above the timeline of the video, so I can almost never use it.

@rumo
1 - Could you describe the context?
2 - On a message> share>Open with another account
3 - We will fix that

@apps
1) Get new toots -> app scrolls up automatically. However, I would like to stay at the last place in timeline I read.

2) For the 2nd case I have attached a screenshot.
I am missing the button to retrieve the complete history of the toot.
This does not happen automatically, as I think it should? That's why I wish the button back.

3) Thank you very much. For all your work!
Love your app❣️

@rumo
If you have enabled remote conversations in settings it's done automatically that's why the button is not displayed.

@rumo
But there is a bug with the detailed message that is not displayed, we will check that.

@rumo
For the first point, have you disabled the "remember position" in settings?
Or what do you mean by "get new toots" ? Tap twice in the tab? If so, it's a normal behavior.

@apps
I have this problem now over half a year and yes, the setting is set.

I open Fedilab and the new posts will load and I jump automaticly to the top. I changed setting many times and reinstalled app. Always same result.

@apps
Settings in German. First 2 in Point "timeline"

@apps
ho ho now don't get crazy!~
I'd love it just as much as the next guy, but isn't LaTex a much bigger attack surface than MarkDown?

...Can you imagine being able to describe physics equations in your own chart server, though???
