Thank you! Would it be possible to add a link to the context menu of a post to view it from the original instance? I (still) have federation issues like with this and other communities so at least being able to read posts and comments would be nice.

For some very weird reason it never crossed my mind, and I really do not know why, that I could invest in a huge healthcare corporation whose target it is to provide as little healthcare as possible. But your comment made me think about that that is possible to do.

Such a bummer :( I really do hope that something finally works out for you!

I am somewhat in a similar boat. I have like one to two friends left and also looking for a partner. I never go out and only stay at home.

I know that this is definitely not for everyone but rather for a small minority, but I found and joined the furry fandom. They are loving and welcoming and so put my hopes into them. There is a high chance that there is a local meetup in your area but I have been too shy to attend yet. Instead, I opted straight for a convention which I think is a better starting point for me because it is more anonymous. Note, that this is just a suggestion since the convention did not happen yet and I am looking forward to it patiently.

Did you recently update the app? On my tablet it now always crashes trying to open a post.

App is on 1.44.2

Not sure if that is the problem:

My EU bank never ever used my phone number to verify anything. They only used it to contact me on some occasions. 2FA is done through their app.

Oh, wow, thank you!

Now I just have to figure out how to donate because kofi just refuses to successfully process any donation I am trying to make.

What I also found is that the image viewer touch inputs break when returning to it from the lock screen.

• open image fullscreen (without controls visible?)
• lock device
• unlock device
• image viewer stops responding to inputs and can only be closed via system back

Notes: i am on a portrait tablet (sadly) but with rotation in landscape. Therefore, the lockscreen is in portrait and also for a split moment apps are also until the "forced" rotation kicks in. Maybe that helps it bugging it.

Edit: well, fuck, that forced rotation seems to be the problem... I mean it would be cool if if this shit would be configurable, because I fucking hate, how the lockscreen is always sideways... Ignore this bug if it is too shitty to find or fix.

Yeah, I know. There is already no space in landscape mode to display the comment. But on the other hand it is very shitty having to exit the composing completely to look up what the comment you are replying to references in its parent.

Maybe you find some way at some point. If not, then not, I guess.

Thank you!

Thank you! Would it be possible to:

• make it more obvious that there are no comments on a post? Like I find myself trying to refresh multiple times trying to get comments to load although there are none.
• show all comments in the comment chain when drafting a comment, not just the one the one that is targeted to be the "parent"?

Edit:

Not sure it was already addressed or if you know that this is a thing: sometimes, I open a post and immediately go to the comments. But then I find I am too deep in so I scroll back up to get to the top comment. But then it "loads" images in the post and of course the whole comment section moves the same amount to the bottom as the image is high. Probably horribly explained. Anyway, I can stay a as long in the comments as I want but getting the main post in the viewport triggers the layout recalc with the image now available that it did not have in the previous calculation, shifting everything.

In other (ape) words: when image in post slow, and comments fast, and scroll to comments; then comments move down fast when scrolling up to post.

Not sure if that was at least somehow understandable? It basically can only happen when the comments load fast but the server serving an image in the post takes a long time to even send the height info of the image. As far as I understand what the problem is. However, I am not sure what the solhtion would be. It just is annoying as hell when it hapens.

A "jump to comments" button would maybe be cool but I can't see how that could be implemented without being shitty.

To add a more technical explanation, the main point is about the expectation on how it behaves and not what it really does. To get windows to do something, you read the specification (interface) and make a call against it. Windows interprets your request and does what you wanted. You do not care how it works but just that it works. As a developer, you can also switch to the other side and make your own program that interprets these calls and translates, them for linux.

Legally (I am not a lawyer), the specification is a fair game. The spicy part is how it is done and copying that gets you in trouble.

Of course, this is also extremely simplified since linux and windows differ wildly in many regards. Also a "specification" is often incomplete or the implementaion bleeds into the real world use. This makes it not reliable to look at it alone and so, often the "original" implementation has to be observed on how it behaves.

As a more relatable example, think about websites. On the one hand, it does not matter which browser you use. It "just" has to display the page and act accordingly. On the other side, it does not matter what server sends you the page. It could be a pre-computed static page, served via a proxy server or dynamically generated by any of the different programming languages.

Edit: grammar
