This release adds a new option when a community link is long clicked: Local community stats. It shows you useful information about a community. Personally I'm using this new feature to help me decide whether to block a community is worth blocking or not.

This release also fixes a lot of bugs. If I wasn't able to get to your bug fix in this release it will be fixed in a patch update.

Full changelog

• Add a screen to see local stats in more detail.
• Add local community stats screen.
• Add a special case for searching for a person/community handle in the search screen. Searching for a specific person/community handle will now find direct matches if it exists. Eg. searching [email protected] will yield both the person [email protected] and the community [email protected] in the search results.
• Fix an issue with loops not loading in app.
• Fix a bug where changing the sort order does not work for multi-communities.
• Fix a bug where the "go to" action button does nothing on comments in the search results screen.
• Fix a bug where "mark post as read on scroll" will mark all posts on screen as read if the user switches to another screen. (The correct behavior is that posts should only be marked as read if the user scrolls it off screen)
• Fix a bug where unread notifications are never shown and unread count not updating.

Update

I am doing a minor release with many QoL changes and bug fixes. They will be released as v1.84.2 (there were some regressions in v1.84.1, so skipping 1.84.1).

• Add a setting to control whether the failed actions badge is shown or not.
• Add more ways to delete drafts.
• Add "scroll to top" as a quick action option on the post feed screen.
• Improve comments loading performance.
• Better support display names on the current account.
• Fix some deadlocks on the post screen.
• Fix an issue where switching accounts on the person screen can cause the wrong person's data to be shown.
• Fix a bug where registration applications don't load on Lemmy.
• Fix an issue where some conversation messages do not load.
• Fix an issue where downloading larger video files can error.

Planned changes

• Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
• Setup wizard.
• Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
• Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
• Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.

Specific user requests

• Take screenshot from post feed.
• Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
• Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
• Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
• Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.

If I put together a multicommunity and each of them has pinned posts there's a lot to scroll through until I get to the sorted feed. Would it be possible to make it so the pins are ignored in multicommunities and just follow the regular sorting?

This might have been an issue in an earlier version, I haven't checked this for a long time.

If I go to my saved/bookmarked stuff, I can see saved posts just fine but going to the comments tab it show no content.

If I log in to another client or the website, it is all there though, so just an issue displaying that.

I am on piefed server, so maybe something to do with a Piefed update? Just a hunch.

Hey!

I'd like to have Summit open all supported links on my phone, but for that I would have to manually tick all urls.

Is there a way to enable all in a single click?

Firstly, thank you so much for creating such a great app! I use it on a daily basis and I'm very grateful it exists.

I use two different accounts, and sometimes I accidentally post from the wrong account. Most screens have the account profile image, so it's clear which account I am using. However this is not on the create post screen, could it be displayed on that screen?

Hi there!

Would it be possible to display cross posts on different instances as a single post?

I just found an article on four of my subscriptions and I wanted to read all the comments so I had find them one by one.

Also it seems to be a problem with lemmy in general, that conversations and likes gets very segmented this way. Would be nice if there would be a way to aggregate.

When pressing a link to a post from piefed the link seems to be interpreted as two. Here is an example of such a link: https://piefed.social/c/[email protected]/p/2288589/heizkraftwerk-west-frankfurt-steigt-aus-der-kohle-aus-was-das-fur-die-versorgung-bedeut

The first half links to ![email protected], while the second half links to /c/[email protected]/p/2288589/heizkraftwerk-west-frankfurt-steigt-aus-der-kohle-aus-was-das-fur-die-versorgung-bedeut which doesn't work, or probably only on piefed.social

Thank you for the app and all the hard work! It is actually almost perfect, so feature rich, customisable and good looking.

Only thing missing for me is the function to add a note to users existing on both Lemmy and PieFed.

There are user tags, but I think they are local only. (?)

I think if its an option it would be best to merge those features.

Is there an option I missed to automatically have a "BOT" tag for bot users?
If not it would be nice to have, especially for community your not familiar with.

Do I have a habit of starting to write a comment, then go "nevermind why am I bothering". Or I started saying something that I decoded is dumb and aborted (you're all welcome). Well at this point I have hundreds.

I can't find a way to delete them other then 1 by 1 and hitting confirmation each time. Am I missing something?

I thought about backup and delete storage or uninstall, but the DB backup that has settings in it also backs up drafts... I tried toggling save drafts off and on but that only applies to new drafts.

I guess I'd rather just not have drafts than have a forever growing pile but something like a setting to delete after X time would be a great feature. But in the short term, delete all seems like it would be relatively straightforward to implement?

Hola!

A new fork of piefed called PyLova had started adding quality of life featured, notably multiple images in a post.

Notably, we started around here to implement the changes for it. https://codeberg.org/quokkau/PyLova/commit/c3da93ee2bcb963c79c8c036821b78716b7c20e1

I was wondering if this could get in a (would be nice) type list for eventually supporting it.

Not a priority yet, but wanted to potential get it on your radar. We're looking to try getting other fedi software to mingle with this so hopefully it becomes widespread.

Still love the work you do. Thank you for working on this

The same message thread shows in other Boost

when i try to upload an image it either says something like "error code 400 unknown" (very brief) or something like "timed out connecting to our server" or some shii

i use proton vpn btw

I have always show link below post disabled but in post and comments view for post the link is always shown below.

In settings, based on the example, when toggling this setting no link should be displayed below and I guess tapping directly on image should open the link?

Is there something I don't understand or is it a known bug? I couldn't find any post about it! If it is really a bug then it's strange that no one would have reported it before.

For comments you can set fab quick action to go to top but for posts list it's not something that's possible. It would be nice if it was an option. Actually all actions should be available for quick actions imho but being able to go back quiclly to top is the one I would really love! 😅

It would also be nice if there was a setting to only press for quick action and long press for menu. In this mode fab button should use quick action icon instead of "..."

Anyway thanks for Summit. It's really a great lemmy app!

Feddit.org has implemented custom emojis and while they are correctly shown if somebody else uses them, it doesn't work if I try to send them with summit.

So I would like to ask if it's possible to implement the emojis. If not, I also understand it, as it could become a lot of extra work if more instances would start using custom emojis.

Thanks for this app!

Thanks for building such a great app - it's my favorite way to interface with Lemmy!

Is there any way to customize or turn off notifications for failed actions, like failed comments, upvotes, etc? I don't really care if these actions fail, and I'd like to avoid having to go all the way over to the tab to delete them if possible. I tried searching for the answer before posting but couldn't find anything.

Thanks again for all you do!

When opening the Lemmy-Web-Settings menu the display-name field contains the username rather than the display-name. After closing this menu it then appears as though the display-name has been changed to the username, which is according to the Lemmy-ui not actually the case.
