I am pressing them by accident when scrolling

My feed is often full of nothing but low quality spam from a single user - "bOt@zerobytes.monster" . It's obviously a bot, and it's ruining my experience. I know you can typically ban individual users from your feed on Connect, but its not working for this account. Can anyone help?

It's not a bad thing overall but I find it distracting when I'm scrolling down.

In my view it would be better if it appeared when coming back into the app but once scrolled down it didn't appear at ll again.

First thank you for all the hard work. This is a great app.

I love the new "saved folders" feature. Unfortunately the bottom pop-up for adding a saved post to a folder overlaps with the general nav buttons on my phone, so I have trouble using that pop-up.

Proposed solution: could there be an option for that pop-up to be in the middle of the screen, or the top, or some other place?

Thanks for reading, and again, thanks for all your effort.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: As the title asks: i usually open the app, then notice there has been no update for several hours since my last launch. But when i pull down, it refreshes with a long list of new articles, so it doesnt seem like a sudden influx of new posts. This happens across communities and servers. Is it a setting thing, or a bug?

Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

With article preview enabled, if you want to preview an article thumbnail from the feed, you have to tap into the post and then use the preview gesture there. Perhaps the article preview function can be activated with the title instead? This would also make the preview gesture more consistent across post types with a thumbnail.

Personally, every now and then I have to tap into a post and I'm used doing it from the feed. Of course, if changed, people used to the current flow may be annoyed and prefer the thumbnail. I'm guessing people that prefer card view would prefer the image activation as well.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Whenever I tap on the thumbnail for this post, it takes about 3 for the image to fully render and not be blurry. It seems like the image is not loading from cache and is redownloaded each time I tap on the thumbnail because it then takes another 3 seconds to render. The cache shows the image is less than a MB so I don't think it's the local webp conversion that's taking 3s. I think slrpnk.net has some server issues at the moment as it's not a noticeable issue with images hosted on other instances. But it may highlight a different Connect issue.

EDIT: And of course, right after the post, it's not doing the rendering issue anymore. I'll try to find another example and figure put the conditions for this.

EDIT2: Um, edits are not being reflected again? I made an edit and submitted it but after that was done, the post did not update with the edit in it. Had to manually refresh to see the update.

EDIT3: Okay, so if that first post does not exhibit the issue, any posts from a community on slrpnk.net, such as their meme one, can provide another sample. But it may depend on where you are and when you try this; maybe your proximity is no affected or the instance has resolved the issue by then.

I think the article preview would be more useful, at least to me, if it was inline with the comment preview and remained on-screen with a long tap. Reading and scrolling while having to hold the long tap is cumbersome. Granted, it's a preview feature, but I think it's a worthwhile feature to be able to easily read an article straight from a feed and then go back to the feed. Which is why I also like the comment preview.

For those reading and wondering about the mentioned features, it was introduced in v1.471, which is a beta so you would need to join that to use it.

EDIT: ~~Not sure why but this post only shows a sliver of the article for the preview. Loads fine in reader mode and other article previews seem to load up the full article.~~

Bug Report

Describe the issue:

I've reported this previously but it is still happening.

When I tap in the Body text to move the cursor it highlights from the previous position to the new one, rather than moving it. This can be intermittent.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a new post
2. Type some text
3. Tap back earlier on the text
4. It may highlight, it may move, it can be a bit random.

Bug Report

Describe the issue:

I've reported this previously but it is still happening.

When setting an alert on a community, the notifications for new posts are delayed. I'm generally getting a notification for the previous new post when another one is posted. When I go to the community I often have to manually refresh to see new posts (and then Connect will notify me of them).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Subscribe to !dailybunnies@lemmy.dbzer0.com
2. Tap the alarm bell to request new post alerts
3. Wait (that community has two posts a day so is quite easy to see the problem)
4. Observe that the alerts don't come through when expected

The Open option for comments seem to always open using the internal browser but I have it set to the external browser.

When viewing a post with crossposts and changing the sort method, it's only applied to the top post and not the crossposts.

Saved comments don't have an overflow menu. And for me, I can't assign them to a folder because long-tapping on the comment, what I'd normally use to show the context menu, will load up the post for the comment.

Saved folders and its content can be deleted with a selection without confirmation. On a mobile app, I think a confirmation for this option would be useful as a mistap can delete a number of bookmarks.

I notice upvoted(probably down as well) comments don't seem to update the vote count until the app is reopened. So you could upvote a comment, come back hours later, see the comments and updated vote count on other comments but see the same vote count on the interacted one.

An error message comes up when viewing a Piefed inbox message. At least for read messages for post reply.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Video playback seems to be broken and I noticed it starting in 463. The video tries to load but doesn't. It works fine in the browser.

Also, how do you add saved posts to folders? There's a + button now but that creates a post. Context menu for the posts and the page doesn't seem to have the option either.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: If I revisit a user note context and try to scroll, it just stutters back to a specific point in the post. This can also happen on initial visit but seems limited to posts that have cross-posts.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Updated to v457 and the thumbnails on feeds like All are now rather compressed. It's not an issue on card view and switching to my Piefed account, it's also not an issue there.

EDIT: Interesting, it seems to be an issue with just Lemmy.ca? Logged into my .world account and it was fine.

EDIT2: Screenshot. Clear cache didn't resolve it either.

Since the latest update I always need to select the default save folder in the settings manually and confirm permission. Otherwise my downloads from the app are not saved (even though I get a confirmation that a file was saved successfully).

If you up/downvote a post and then change your mind, the count is reflected but the up/downvote remains rather than being reset to show no action taken. This was the case previously so some recent change introduced this.

I'll piggyback another one. If a link on a post is long, perhaps a shorter character display limit should be added. Example.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: If I revisit a post, that has comments, a load more comments button appears and tapping on it doesn't seem to do anything.

Also, the dates for the last few changelogs are all the same. And I did notice the support the dev button was removed. Hopefully you won the lottery recently, hence the removal.

Recently (a few weeks ago?) if seemed like my settings for Connect were reset. Like, the default was suddenly cards, etc. Also I was used to sort by New by default, but now it always seems to switch to Active, causing me to miss posts.

I can't find the setting to set the default sorting order to New - where should I look for that option?

I noticed an account had a note with an asterisk on it. The note applies to this account as well so I thought if I edited the note and saved it with the same thing that it would get rid of the asterisk for that account. It did not.

I think in this situation, it should make a new note for that account; while leaving the asterisk on other accounts from other instances; so there would be two accounts from two instances with the note and asterisks for the rest.

Bug Report

Bug Report

Describe the issue: I was viewing All and went into a post and noticed all the comments had a Show comment button on all of them. Each also mentioned it was due to a block on the corresponding commenter's instance but that's not true in this case; it's due to the instance of the community that was blocked. I have the option to block comments turned off so even if I block the instances, the comments should be unhidden. So there's two issues with this one.

EDIT: Screenshot of the post on All; it's the bookmarked one. To clarify, I don't block blahaj.zone because I'm a bigot, you can go through my voting history and see I'm clearly left-wing. I just don't relate to a chunk of the posts and comms so it's blocked.

Anyways, if I had to guess I think the issue is sometimes the app shows you a cached All page that seems to ignore the instance blocks. Leaving the app open for at least an hour and then coning back to it may also be related to the cause of this; if the block seems to be adhered to at a glance.

Bug Report

Describe the issue: Whenever I upvote a comment it gets sent to the bottom of the page for some reason. This only started happening recently so a recent change in the last few(2/3 maybe 4/5?) versions seems to have introduced this.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Upvote a comment
