It's a shame..I preferred it over many, but too many issues, no more updates and no support.

I guess it's been finished for a while? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

What alternatives are people using (other than voyager)

I'm not as familiar with CommonMark vs Markdown, but haven't been able to get a tilda character to display in the app. I verified it was successfully passed into the raw data, yet despite trying several typical escape techniques to preserve it (backslash, backticks) or its html entity reference (~) it either gets removed or not translated.

If this isn't an app issue I'd very much appreciate some debug advice for my brain.

The list of Lemmy apps that now support Piefed has been growing quite quickly lately, now at 8! I personally would love to see this continue and I am curious if you have any interest in Raccoon supporting other backends for the threadiverse side of the Raccoon project. I remember seeing talk about if it would make sense to merge Raccoon for Lemmy and Raccoon for Friendica into one app, I guess a longer term goal is what exactly would you imagine Raccoon becoming in the long run.

I was looking for this community and just noticed that the latest post is 3 months ago. Is Raccoon no longer? I found it while I was having issues with another app a few months ago and I find it great. Recently I noticed that Raccoon doesn't appear as an option to open lemmy links when I click on them on my phone. Also, while I was looking for this community I noticed that the search function doesn't work. If Raccoon is no longer being maintained it would be a pity, because I prefer it over the other few that I have tried. I just find it more comfortable to use. Hopefully it's still going. 🤞

Loving most of the options for customisation but I can't find the setting for hyperlink colour, which feels odd being white (as least it is in dark mode). Call me a dinosaur but hyperlinks have always been blue to me and it feels jarring when it's not. Am i just blind, or does an option to change this not exist?

Before update on tapping a collapsed comment it would first collapse first into a single line and on second tap it would open to show child comments. (This itself is probably inconvenient and I feel it would be better if we go directly to expand on single tap)

Now I have to exclusively click on the small arrow to do that. Just tapping on the comment itself does not do anything.

Can we have two arrows, one for collapse and one for expand?

I'm getting Sync vibes, that some people shit talked, or something...

I'm not sure how (probably a pull request on github) but this page lists some Lemmy clients and I think Raccoon could be added there.

i can't share an image from my gallery app to raccoon to post to a community. is this a bug or not implemented yet?

While scrolling All it does not happen. It happens if I open any post or go into any community.

Is there a setting to prevent this?

Hello,

Where is the menu for adding filtered words? I had found the word filter before, but now I cannot. "Bans and Filters" looks like the right place, but I cannot add words.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the closed test program, we finally had the app accepted (again!) on Google Play. An "open testing" channel has been configured which now points to the last beta, but there are no more restrictions on who can participate in it.

Once I finish with the activities I'm working on – manly bug fixes for issues you have reported or small feature additions – I'll be releasing a candidate for the production track. Thanks to all those who helped and to all new translators, your contribution was really welcome and will surely improve everyone's experience.

I hope to see this project continuing to grow this year! #livefasteattrash #procyonproject

Aloha dev et all,

I try to be usefull giving Raccoon more active usetime as I see much potential here. Did couple if FR requests and currently wondering how to contribute more. Experiencing some crashes and lag on opening external links now and then. Would be enough for the moment to leave crash reporting enabled or would be more a good idea?

I've decided version 1.14.0 is ready, despite the lack of feedback, maybe holidays didn't help with this respect.

Changelog:

• feat: implement user tags (as requested here);
• feat: restrict local user search on current instance (request on Matrix);
• feat: custom sort for user posts and comments (as requested here);
• fix: prevent crash while switching account (reported on Matrix);
• fix: explore result and listing type bottom sheet titles (discussed on Matrix);
• fix: window insets and bar colors (verbally reported by a friend);
• fix: default theme color (reported here);
• enhancement: improve accessibility;
• chore: update dependencies;
• chore: update l10n (thanks to all new translators, you've been included in the acknowledgements);
• chore: add more unit tests.

I remind everyone, if you want to help to see the app on Google Play again, that we need at least 12 testers and now there are only 5, even asking to complete strangers on the forbidden R* site.

Here are the steps to participate:

• join this group with the same account you'll be using on the Play store;
• become a tester using this invitation link;
• download the app from here.

Thanks to everyone as usual.

Happy New Year to everyone! To start the year in the best possible way, a new beta version of the app is available for testing!

Changelog:

• feat: restrict local user search to results on the current instance;
• chore: update acknowledgements (with new translators);
• chore: update dependencies.

For those of you who may have missed it, the new "user tagging" feature is available since beta01. For the 1.14.0 milestone, I'll be working on making it possible to select custom sort types for users posts and comments, similarly to what can already be done for communities.

As requested by some of you (@[email protected]), we set up the process to release on Google Play too. The app is now only available to closed testers, who can participate in the testing program using this link. Since this is only available to a closed list of users, please make sure you join the following group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play.

After the minimum number of testers have been enrolled for two weeks, we are going to be able to distribute it to the general public. For those of you who are getting the app from F-Droid, don't despair: the build job is stuck some versions behind but I've solved the issues so after these holidays I can ping them for updates and have it in-synch again.

p.s. This is also the first Wednesday of January, so we can use this post as the starter for the usual Q&A session. #livefasteattrash #procyonproject

Hope you are all on holiday and preparing for new year's eve… in the meantime I've been working on the new user tagging feature someone requested in a comment.

You can find an "User tags" item in the profile side menu to see the list of tags, add/edit them and see the list of tagged users.

By using the "⋮" button in the top app bar from a user detail, you'll be able to add one or more tags to that user which will be displayed next to their handle whenever that users appears in a timeline, post detail or search.

Hope you find it useful, just keep in mind that:

• these tags are a client-side extension so they are only stored in the device you are using and not saved remotely (if you have multiple devices or delete the app data) and they are only visible to you
• this is still an experimental feature, if you happen to find any bugs please report them here in the comments or on Matrix.

Have a nice continuation of the week and of your holidays!

Hi everyone, Raccoon Santa 🦝🎅 delivered a little bug report to me this morning, so I decided to release a new version with the hotfix.

There is not much included except:

• a fix for a crash when opening some screens (image detail, multi-community, multi-community editor, report list) due to dependency injection misconfiguration
• routine library updates.

What's more important, let me wish everyone happy holidays: have fun, relax and recharge for the new year! I would like to express my gratitude especially to all the subscribers of this community, all users and contributors (coders, testers, translators, etc.) of the Raccoon project, who have virtually walked side-by-side with me during this year. It has been a long journey with a lot of happenings but it was worth it, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

We created something new together, we met new people and learned a lot of things in the process. This is simply awesome.

❤️🦝🎄

#livefasteattrash whenever you can on Christmas and New Year's eve and as always #procyonproject

I am going to (finally) move again the localization of the app to Weblate, just like before the project changed ownership this summer.

Considering:

1. there is a number of messages for the free tier which is shared with the other app;
2. in order to be compatible with Weblate, resource files have to be converted (manually 😅);

I am planning to remove some of the least used languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Greek, Esperanto, Estonian, Hungarian, Croatian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian (both variants), Dutch, Romanian, Russian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Albanian, Serbian, Swedish, Toki Pona, Turkish… based on the fact that nobody ever reported translation errors (which are there).

Does anyone have any objection? I can add one or two more if you are using some of them (but you've been very silent indeed if you do). All the other languages which have not been mentioned in this list will be preserved.
