What would expect for the next releases?

PS: use the GPS icon to see all replies

@apps
I would love to see a count of how many posts I have to get to the top of my timeline.

@apps
* Different header in posts from home and post from hashtags followed.
* better thread support

@karlggestd @apps I strongly want to encourage the implementation of a visual cue for posts from hashtags followed 🙏🏾

@karlggestd
@apps Regarding better thread support - I think it would be neat if parent posts could be collapsed by long-pressing them, enabling you to skip their children and jump straight to their next sibling.

This is something that Sync for Lemmy (formerly Sync for Reddit) supports, and I always thought it was a handy feature.

@apps
Make the fetch more messages button way clearer and allow me to make it a different colour. I hate scrolling then find that I'm in yesterday. I want to see way more than 40 messages in the mornings when I first look at the app.

@jodiem
You can up to double the 40 toots limit per load by going to the bottom of the Timelines settings.
@apps

@jodiem
You can enable auto fetch in settings

@apps oh I have that. I still seem to be jumping back to yesterday and older quite often.

@jodiem @apps
Ditto. I've found it works better if I don't use cache and ALSO scroll down from the top (which isn't my preferred digestion method, but desperate times call for desperate measures as they say). Then it will pull in posts as I scroll where as if I scroll up from yesterday, I miss chunks of time (even with auto-fetch turned on).

@grayson
Yes I found that annoyingness yesterday and just could not get back to "now"
@apps

@jodiem @grayson
Does it happen when switching between accounts?

@apps @jodiem
Thank you.

I actually don't switch accounts and can replicate it, but maybe it's one and the same as the referenced issue. I'm happy to wait and see first, and revisit it if that doesn't.
@apps well, I have the new version from the play store, left my phone connected to wifi overnight, and I have a 9 hour gap with scrolling up.

I wonder if my problem is more related to how the fetch occurs and limits surrounding that. If I get to the gap, scroll up to the next post, exit the app and remove it from memory (swipe up on the change app screen), then reenter, it will pull the gap but i have to scroll down.

Any thoughts?

@grayson
It seems to be an old bug that is coming back. You don't see the button to fetch messages?

@apps
Screenshot?

(For reference just in case, this is all related to Home timeline scrolling)

@apps
When viewing a profile, I can open the avatar picture.
I would like to do that for the banner/header image too, which is often unfortunately cropped.

@apps
I would like the mute all hashtags in this toot forever option to be on the post rather than on each hashtag

@apps
Honestly for me the thing I want most is stability. If you do nothing but bug fixes for the next release I'll be satisfied.

@mux2000
Did you test 3.27.0? It's the main goal of this release.

@apps
I did not, but was very happy to hear that in one of your previous posts. I'm eagerly waiting on it.

@apps
I would expect working notifications with ntfy.
I still don't get any notifications from latest Fedilab in DivestOS 18.1 (Android 13).

@apps it would be awesome if peoples' pronouns were listed next to their names in the timeline like megalodon does

@apps
I had swapped over to megalodon when fedilab was broken and you implementing this brought me back :3 ty!

one other thing I miss is being able to see alt text from the main timeline (see first two screenshots - the second is after I tapped "alt"), and it being more clear when something doesn't have alt text so I don't accidentally boost it

@apps An easier way to follow people from other instances directly from their instance profile without having to go back and search for them

@cadence
Bookmarked. It should work as you described without going back and searching for them

@apps My apologies, I was tired yesterday 😅 fedilab does work fine for me, no problem. You can ignore my suggestion

@apps
Are background timeline loading fixes in the new betas/release? On 3.26.0 I'm still having to clear the cache and reload everything pretty much daily.

@apps

Being able to repost with one click (the option to do so) would be nice. Now that I've said that I'll look for the feature again. Maybe it's there and I missed it.

@kdvncm
You can disable confirmation dialog in settings

@apps
Currently there is an option to change the font size. I would like to see the ability to change the font type and addition of a couple of open source fonts in the App.

@apps

More reliable notifications! Sometimes notifications don't appear to fetch until I manually refresh the notification screen

@apps some more bug fixes and UI improvements

- easier to reach bookmarks
- show "Display media" when on cellular, instead of "not on wifi". Android can use Ethernet for example (see screenshot), which typically has no data limits.
- show "Display media" only when media has not been loaded already. When I load my timeline and switch from wifi to cellular, the already loaded images disappear needlessly. I only want to avoid loading more media over data-limited networks.

@apps

- when switching back from cellular to wifi, the "Display media" button remains but the image is being displayed (see screenshot).
- indicate type and size of media with "Display media" button. I might want to load a 100kb image over data-limited cellular network, but avoid loading a 50mb video.

@apps

- maybe Android bug: sometimes when writing a post, I don't have a bubble under the cursor. I need that bubble (see screenshot) to paste text or simply reposition the cursor. Workaround: tap on a red underlined text to open and then close the spellchecker dropdown.
- nice to have: when writing a post, ability to split the post on cursor position.

@apps

- have a "Disable Markdown" option per post, maybe in the three dots menu.

@apps sometimes, the progress bar does not progress on videos. I think it happens to pause the progress updates when you tap the video, in order to wee the media description mas.to/@pekkatahkola/111767613

@apps
It seems the 'Attach an image when sharing a URL' option, in the 'Compose' settings, is not doing anything when enabled.

@nunesgh
We will check. It should fetch ogg:image in header

@apps
If I quickly do at least two of boosting, bookmarking, or favoriting a toot, I receive an error message that something went wrong, even though the actions are saved by the server as expected.

@apps
I really miss a way of seeing bookmarked toots.

@apps
Thank you for letting me know! I have been using other apps together with Fedilab just because of bookmarks.

But I should agree with another reply that asks for an easier way of getting to bookmarks. It is not intuitive to look for it under an Interactions menu. In fact, I think I have never opened that menu, so maybe it's a naming issue?

@nunesgh

Agree with the last point - I found the Bookmarks there only because I decided to check everywhere. And was wondering what it has to do with interactions...

@apps

@apps
My followers get a little mark on/by their avatar

@apps

When going on a picture it goes to full screen.
In that full screen mode, in order to resize/ zoom it I have to put the fingers OUTSIDE the picture.
It should also be possible to zoom in when touching somewhere in the picture

@apps
Markdown citation should work.

> Cite

Gender Star inside words should be ignored.

Lehrer*innen und Schüler*innen.

@apps
Still don't see that icon on my client lol. Can't remember when I saw it last

@foxy
You might have enabled remote conversations so it's not displayed
