MODERATORS
 

This update is aimed at implementing more features designed to make admins and moderator's jobs easier in Summit.

Changes so far:

  • Fix a bug where the title does not update in the post screen when the comment sort order is changed.
  • Add a new section in the search screen "Random communities". This section shows a random list of 10 communities that has at least one post.
  • Fixed a bug where instances are not displayed for users when they should be.
  • Add a setting to show/hide deleted posts.
  • Update community/inbox side panel UI a bit.
  • Add per-section unread counts to the inbox side panel.
  • Replace the image editing library the app uses with a different one that actually works.
  • Remove "cross-posted from:" text that is auto-inserted when cross-posting so that the behavior is consistent with current web.
  • Add page for new account applications.
  • Add support for approving/declining new account applications.
  • Add support for viewing a detailed list of votes for posts/comments (only available for mods).
  • Add option to view moderation actions by user to the post/comment/person menu.
  • Fix a bug where images do not load if on a private instance.
  • Fix a bug where back ticks can break text formatting.
  • Fix a bug where the navigation rail does not hide when the side panel is shown.
  • Fix a bug where double tapping send can cause an action to be performed twice.

Hey, for some reason i can't seem to be able to upload images anymore when I choose to edit them

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I audited the library I was using for cropping and it's just really not good. I'm switching to another library in the next update.

Nice work! One thing i feel that would be nice is a easier way to search in communities. Now i need to go to search and filter by community. Is it ppssible to search from the community page? I think that would feel better

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Added to roadmap.

With history disabled, communities still show up in "recent". Would be nice if they wouldnt. Thanks

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

This happens because these two things are tracked by different "histories". I'll add a roadmap item to disable recent communities as well.

Is it possible to add a tap to close images when opened with quick view? Right now you have to swipe or hit back to close them, and swipe doesn't work if you zoom in.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this is a bit weird because right now tap toggles the ui and I don't want to change this behavior. Can you think of another way you'd prefer to close images?

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A couple of apps I used in the past had the tap to close for images/videos, and a long hold for the UI.

If you don't wanna change it, not a big deal. It's just a muscle memory for me to tap to close, and completely a personal preference. The app rocks regardless.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh I see. Yeah I can add this to the roadmap.

I just switched to Summit as I am a mod and this seems to be the only app that sends notifications for reports. Really great job here.

~~I do have one request though. Can we "favorite" communities and have them shown under a separate header in the home/community panel?~~

~~Or at the minimum, I love the moderation sort filter to see posts from all moderated communities, but could we have a moderated community section on the side bar with all our communities listed underneath? It would make navigating to these communities much easier.~~

Thanks for a wonderful app!

Edit: just realized there is a menu to the left where the bookmarks are stored. I had no idea there was an overflow menu here. Perhaps you could add a tripple-line hamburger menu icon on the to left to indicate this. Very happy to see my request for bookmarks/favorites was added.

When sharing links to the app and reaching the post submittion screen, it would be nice to have recent communities appear in the community field when you tap it before you type anything. As a mod and frequent poster, this would streamline the posting process for me.

It is clear that in 2025 this is the best Lemmy app out there, hands down.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you for your feedback. I'll add the recent community suggestion to the roadmap.

Amazing! Thanks!
