I'm using Arctic on iOS. I can't remember offhand which md library it uses but will check if it's been tweaked. I guess the real fix should be with the connections site in what they copy when you click 'share'.

Edit: of course that makes no sense, or it would be broken for everyone. Guess it's the iOS clipboard or app mangling what's copied. It's still early here :/

Subscript and spoilers:

Funny you say that--I was convinced I got it right after 1 error too, and I had shuffled the last 8... Thought I must have imagined it...

If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.

Planes fly because aerodynamics.

Helicopters fly because money.

Any type of glue is fine. Just stay away from the cardboard derivatives.

It's still 'legal' in England to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow if you're standing on the York city wall. That doesn't mean it happens that often.

This is what I see in search. Does search hide subscribed communities?

Edit: And, if I switch to Subscribed, I also don't see it:

But if I go to my profile, it's there:

Edit 2: Oh dear. I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the blocked communities list, and found a single entry in the blocked instances settings. Guess which it was :/. Apologies for the noise—I do not remember doing that, probably a mis-click at some point.

Interesting that I was still able to post there...

If I unsubscribe, I'm not sure how I'd subscribe again, since I can't find the community on feddit.uk.

Do you see it through search?

[–] dave@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

No, it's not in my blocked list.

If you touch & hold for the popup on a comment, you can upvote, downvote, save, etc. But it doesn't show the changes until you navigate away and back again.

 
  1. Tap and hold account button in bottom bar
  2. Tap currently active account
  3. Swipe main feed from left to access feeds list

The app now shows Feeds at the top, the main feed on the view and freezes.

I guess tapping the current account should dismiss the accounts popup?

 

When opening a post from the main feed and then using the Community menu, the Subscribe entry has the wrong icon, and also doesn’t ‘update’ until you close the post and reopen it (ie it doesn’t show as a toggle, even though it does appear to function as a toggle.

Loving the new link preview position option :)

Is there space for a couple of media tweaks?

  1. Images, once zoomed in, have this unfortunate feature where moving them by a few pixels brings up the controls layer, and then it’s hard to get rid of—single click zooms back to full image (which is great for quick dismiss). Maybe the controls could be completely disabled if the zoom is anything but ‘fit to screen’ or whatever that default state is known as?
  2. Videos when rotated often fail to scale properly to the new aspect, getting progressively more and more zoomed.
  3. Tapping a video in the feed to show it full screen leaves the playback controls visible, then another tap brings up the share / dismiss controls over the top, and then finally a third tap leaves just the video. This feels like it could be smoother—again maybe start with no controls visible?
  4. Dismissing a video should probably pause playback, as it can be hard to hit the tiny pause button back in the feed.
 

When using Large post view, posts with a url show that url including thumbnail below the post content. But when opened, the link is above the content. I’d prefer it to be below, so that the 2 look similar—I find it a bit of a visual glitch that the order jumps. Is there a way to do that (couldn’t see one), or could it easily be added?

 

Seems like the default post sort is periodically switching back to Scaled. I’ve have Remember post sort set but after some time (maybe app restart?) and often when switching feeds from All to Loval, etc, it’s back to scaled. Is that a known problem?

 

Would it be possible / desirable to set the community automatically when viewing a specific community and then tapping Submit Post? Seems like that would be to most convenient and could still be changed if needed.

 

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what this is supposed to do, but I thought the ‘Sidebar’ menu item used to show information about the community you were viewing. But it seems to show instance info now. Is that right?

 

I’ve been using Arch for just over a year on my older Dell laptop, and have been regularly running sudo pacman -Syu but not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?

 

I saw this comment which included a link to a crosspost in a different community. When I open that link, I see the post and the top of the view has the community name with menu. But I seem to be able to do everything (subscribe, favourite, block, read the sidebar) except just ‘open’ the community to see other posts. Am I missing the right place to click / menu entry?

 

Don’t know if this is from the most recent update but I just saw this post and it doesn’t show the image in the feed—just a grey placeholder box. Opening the post shows the image.
