I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online.
And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful.
Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.

remotelove OP ,

Being turned into a development manager doesn't sound like fun, TBH. Over the years, I have watched quite a few projects suffer because of developer drama and that would suck.

Sometimes, open source just isn't the answer and it's why I am trying to start a discussion around that. Maybe if a super senior android dev were to volunteer, that could be an option? I dunno.

Fake4000 , (edited ) in [Request] Fork an open source version of Connect (suggestions and discussion welcomed)

I agree. Connect is a great app but it's closed source nature makes me step back in using it.

If it was open source I can see myself switching to it.

ramble81 , in "Failed to retrieve Redgif video" error

Just checking you’re not in a state that passed one of those draconian porn verification laws? Redgifs is following suit with whichever states PornHub is blocking. Try launching the lemmy page in your browser directly and see what you get too.

Please_Do_Not OP ,

Good call, hadn't even thought of that as a possibility!But nope (thankfully!), in a sane, blue, porn-friendly state, and looks like everything works for me in my browser.

threelonmusketeers ,

Any NSFW settings within the app which might be blocking them?

Please_Do_Not OP ,

Nope, I can see all NSFW posts that aren't linked to redgifs and maybe 25% of redgifs links load correctly, but 75% stay loading until the "Exception: failed to retrieve..." pops up as a banner at the bottom of my screen.

SkyezOpen ,

Try opening external, then deleting the "api" at the front of the link.

Please_Do_Not OP ,

Opening external works; the bug is that the gifs don't load in the app

threelonmusketeers , in Feature Request: Option to change image download location

Related but slightly more ambitious request. It would also be cool if we could also change the app install location to external storage (micro SD card).

SkyezOpen , in [email protected]

Try hitting the communities tab at the top. Search shows posts first by default.

No, it's not that, even if I subscribe and tap on the community on the left it displays wrong.

I think it may be showing "all", which means it's the same or similar bug as the post before mine.

SkyezOpen ,

Oh I see now. That's weird. Can't reproduce it on my end so maybe a federation fuck up?

i_am_not_a_robot OP ,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

It works on the web interface!

SkyezOpen ,

Sounds like an Oops with the app then. Check settings, maybe reinstall?

If I switch to an account on a different instance it works!?

cheeseburger , in [Bug] Strange pinning issue? A pinned post from another instance in All on .ca
@cheeseburger@lemmy.ca avatar

I ended up hiding the post this morning. I assumed it had to do with the 0.94 upgrade of lemmy.ca, but its a good idea to post here too. I've been wondering if anything in 0.94 would require an update to Connect.

In recent days, I've experienced the same on Thunder. So I'd guess it's not a bug not with Connect but with Lemmy.

remotelove OP ,

I made a comment about this on that specific post and others responded that they are seeing the same problem. (I should of asked for client details as well in hindsight.) So yeah, likely a Lemmy thing like you say.

I'll leave this post up as a note to the dev, just in case.

threelonmusketeers , in Feature request: Warn when leaving App to open a link

Slightly off topic, but I've found the YouTube mobile website viewed in Firefox to be superior to the YouTube app.

tired_lemming , in Feature request: Warn when leaving App to open a link

I would love it too. I've accidentally clicked to an article instead of scrolling down too many times.

theskyisfalling , in Feature request: Warn when leaving App to open a link

I would also love this feature!

Veritrax , in Bug? Clicking on comments in my inbox

By design, you'll see your comment and then the reply below it that you clicked on in the inbox. You only see that one conversation thread, so you won't see other replies to your comment. You need to hit the "view full post" button to see everything.

JeeBaiChow OP ,

Something's wrong with mine then. I don't even see your comment after clicking on it, in the inbox. I do see the replies to yours, though. I have to click 'view full post', then scroll down to see the context.

Veritrax ,

Hmmm, yeah that's weird. You should see your own and the reply. Couldn't hurt to update/reinstall. I'm on version 1.0.177 if that helps.

JeeBaiChow OP ,

Thanks. Update fixed it!

remotelove OP , (edited ) in [Bug] /c/new is listed under other communities. NSFW tiles blurred but not hidden. (lemmy.ca / 0.19.4)
morbidcactus , in [Bug] /c/new is listed under other communities. NSFW tiles blurred but not hidden. (lemmy.ca / 0.19.4)

Yeah noted this with a few other .world communities too. As far as I can tell it's only doing it with lemmy.world communities for me

SkyezOpen OP , in Catbox full size images not loading

Eyy, seems fixed today after some maintenance yesterday. Thanks dev(s?).

RampageDon ,

is this fixed for you? Images still won't load for me and I feel like I am seeing more and more catbox files

SkyezOpen OP ,

It's hit and miss.
