Build 2023.07.31.17.18
I’m going to be improving this in the coming days as it looks like the conversion from UIImage -> SDAnimatedImage is blocking the UI thread currently.
I’ll push that to a separate queue, show a loading indicator on the ImageViewer and add a badge to show that it’s a GIF.
But… at least I’m not crashing Springboard any more 🙈
Full height image preview seems to have stopped working in latest build. I’m seeing clipped images even with the option toggled on. Worked fine in previous build. This post is one example:
Blocking communities doesn’t work.
I also wanted to test if I can block users, but no menu shows when I press the three dots in the top right in user profiles (the settings button on my profile works).
Edit: also, there’s a visual glitch when scrolling to the top of a profile: https://streamable.com/j10p8g
I'm having problems with the communities tab in the most recent release. Entries are sometimes getting duplicated or showing out of order, and I'm experiencing stuttering and slow loading. The app is slow to respond if I try to navigate away from the communities tab- sometimes taking several clicks or seconds to respond- while responsiveness in other tabs is normal. The battery usage has also been noticeably higher than before. I'm on an iPhone 11 pro, 16.5.1.
That’s really weird!! I’ve not experienced this myself. I know it’s a pain but would you mind deleting the app and reinstalling?
Sure, I tried deleting and reinstalling and was not able to reproduce the duplication issue, though the slow loading/page jumping around/lack of responsiveness is still present.
Out of curiosity I tried subscribing to a new community and the bug reappeared, though not as bad this time:
I tried reinstalling again and the bug still persisted. I then unsubscribed from a community bringing my subscription count to 200 and that seems to have resolved the duplicate entries for now.
I’ll subscribe to a tonne of communities on my test account and see if I can replicate this.
Fwiw I tried this experiment again on my lemm.ee account to make sure it wasn’t instance-specific:
Some links have way too long of a preview. Is there a way to cut it off? This is on the feed.
Bug Report:
I have the theme set to “automatic” but the app doesn’t switch from light mode or to dark mode unless it’s forced closed and re-opened. Most other apps seem to switch as soon as you open them, even if they haven’t been force closed and closed by iOS.
Image uploads are broken: JSON Parse error: Unexpected token: <
Bean: 2023.8.1.1.14 iOS: 16.5.1 (c)
I was able to make an image post, but it definitely wasn’t as smooth as usual. I had to reload the app to see my post.
Will you consider building Lemmy search into the app? https://www.search-lemmy.com/ I feel like this could be a really useful tool
The sounds used for up/downvotes aren’t all that pleasant, if I’m being honest. Maybe it’s the volume, maybe it’s something else.
It seems none of the links at Trending Communities are working for me. Do you know if it’s an issue with how they do their links, or something that can be adjusted on Bean?
They come back with “Unmatched Route.”
Quite impressed so far :) Some feedback:
In terms of colours, maybe a darker blue akin to iOS’ default would be nice
Coming in a build later today
