Hi, I’m working on the next release and there’s a lot of changes so rather than just release it straight away I’d like your help! Hopefully this way those that don’t want the newest features can enjoy a more stable experience and those that want to play with new features can do so as well.

Here is the link to join:

edit: I won’t post the release notes until it fully releases in a couple days or so so as to not spoil anything :)

    Unfortunately Connect’s settings aren’t transferred and applied to this version. That’s part and parcel with betas I guess. Eventually, it would be nice to have have a settings import/export feature. This would be useful in a variety of ways, particularly for those testing. If you decide to add it, I can understand if it takes some time; at your convenience.

    Holy shit I’m unreasonably excited for this!

    Looks like the update got rid of most of my settings, including my instance block list.

    Servers appear to functional again so I could test (I’m on v79)… Good stuff!

    Here’s my feedback…

    • EDIT FROM WEB: When editing longer comments, only part of the message gets loaded into the markdown editor
    • Sorting button at the top of post lists does not work. You’re stuck on whatever sorting is defined in settings
    • If “Always show comment bar” is enabled, tapping a comment hides the comment bar and it won’t come back
    • Navigation drawer setting should probably be a choice between bottom & left. Currently you can disable both. Seems that would be bad.
    • Would be nice if you could dismiss the bottom drawer by swiping down (EDIT: It appears that this works sometimes, but not always)
    • When you’re on your “home” page and left menu is disabled, there’s a non-functional back arrow displayed

        One more thing I just ran into…

        When you’re on your Profile page, the center Map button menu populates as if you aren’t logged in (missing all of your subs, your Inbox, etc)…

    The divider line is back again between cards. Intentional?

      Should now be fixed on the latest beta! Only fullwidth view has the dividers now.

        Looks good… unfortunately the servers are having a bad time tonight, so can’t really test…

    Liking the bottom bar. The Home button does seem somewhat inconsistent, though.

    I would expect it to open the default feed no matter where you are in the app. And if you’re already in the default feed, I’d expect it to scroll to the top.

    Currently, it either sends you to the default feed, reloads the current page (e.g. when viewing a specific post), opens the “map” menu (e.g. Profile view), or does nothing (e.g. in the Inbox, possibly others).

    Also, the center “Map” button menu can sometimes be dismissed by swiping down, and sometimes you have to use the Android “back” gesture.

      I’ve adjusted the home button behaviour on the latest release and it should be more consistent now. (Goes to whichever page is default).

        Bottom navigation buttons seems to be working appropriately on latest beta (79). 👍

    It appears post titles run off the screen on profile view now, with no linebreak.

    On that note, I love the new comment select view! I don’t like that it collapses on its own when I upvote though, I feel like it should stay open?

    Regardless, thanks for your hard work Kuro! Connect is getting way better every update.

      Thanks for the feedback! This has been now fixed on the latest beta (1.0.78)

    Liking it still! Good work!is there a way to swipe an image away in any direction, like Liftoff’s implementation? I think other 3PA Reddit apps did it like that as well.

    This is the BEST lemmy app!

    Some wish list items I have:

    • for card posting display, please have an option for fixed width so super long pictures are text post don’t take up the whole screen.
    • Please save the setting I set when selecting sort by options (ie active, top, top six hours etc) I’m having to always change the setting each time it reloads.

    Amazing app!!!

      I’m having the same problem with all communities. It’s says 'Empty because all posts are being filtered". I’ve checked my filters and they’re definitely that restrictive.

      The only way I can get the Connect to load any threads is by opening them from either my comment history or saved posts.

    It seems it always uses active for listing and doesn’t change when you select a different sort
