While cathartic in the moment, product insurance means the alcohol would be of less value just sitting on the shelves.

Don’t waste your energy on ruining the American economy. Americans can do that much better. Spend your energy and money on Canada instead.

If you want to join, it’s pretty simple. On the Play Store page for the app, if you scroll down, there should be a section about joining the beta. Nowadays I think it’s fairly stable and you shouldn’t run into many issues. But it will eventually be rolled out in the stable version so you could just wait.

The dev released v1.0.475 and the changelog does mention that the feed now refreshes when you return to the app. Along with a few other improvements, I think the issue you raised should be addressed. I’ve been waiting for this change as well. I think it is a beta release though so you do need to become a beta-tester to get the update.

For article posts that have a thumbnail, sometimes I just want to view the thumbnail. With the article preview option enabled, I would have to tap into the post and then tap and hold on the thumbnail there. I can’t just use the regular tap and hold to preview from the feed because of the article preview feature, which I like enabled.

If the trigger for the feature was changed to tap and hold on the post title instead of the thumbnail, I can use the preview gesture to view an article or thumbnail from the feed and tap and hold on the title to open reader preview of the article.

Just an idea, and if nothing changes, I can just go into the post to preview article thumbnails.

If you check(tap on the link) your Default save location setting, is a folder specified? I’m on v1.468 and it doesn’t ask me for a folder when I download an image. Also, is the issue for image posts or more specific, like images in comments or something?

I’ve seen the issue of notifications about a previous post from a couple of updated back but haven’t noticed it recently. Although I currently don’t have any alerts set and I think it’s an issue with alerts for communities. But for me, If memory serves, when I made a new post, shortly afterwards, I would get a notification for the post I made previously.

I’m getting a 403, invalid statusCode error whenever I tap on a piefed.social hosted image. The thumbnail is loaded fine and viewable. I think this was introduced recently and was not the case previously. I’m on 458.

Also, when you tap on a thumbnail and then tap on the overflow menu, the menu that pops up shows the comments for the post? Not sure if that’s intended behavior since previously this provided media info for the image.

I think on the list view it looks out of place. When you’re viewing the post, I don’t think it needs to be shortened there. And on card view, it’s probably fine as well.

I was testing this out with a different user, because I can’t remember the original account this was about, but I was trying to remove the note for that specific account and this doesn’t seem possible? If I don’t check the box then nothing happens. If I do check the box and delete the note then it’s just deleted and no longer propagating. I think making the option an exception rather than the current revision of the existing global note may be better?

In case you didn’t already know, to change the feed, from the main menu on the left, tap on the three dots for Frontpage to change it to the default. Connect calls your Subscribed feed Frontpage.

Yeah, a few thing changed to possibly chalk it up to mis-taps or something; does seem like something caused it.

In Settings, if you go into Post Customization, the Default sort for Posts, at the top, is for your feed. A bit further down, the Sticky sort per community setting can also be set for specific communities and overrides the upper setting. That second setting does come up if you search “sort” but the first doesn’t. Some of the settings seem to be unlabelled and does not come up in search.

Regarding the reset of your settings, that does seem odd. If other people have experienced this as well, hopefully they’ll chime in with their experience. I’ve had this happen way back but haven’t noticed this recently.

v1.428 was released yesterday and the changelog mentioned changing it so blocks take affect immediately and not having the cache showing blocked stuff until the app refreshes. I think it’s a beta build so you will need to join the beta, which can be done from the Connect app page on the Play Store.

Appreciate the email on this. I don’t think I got an email from Piefed.social either. Heck I don’t remember getting any from Lemmy.ca for Lemmy downtime. But perhaps they haven’t ran into a similar situation.

Actually I think I ran into it just now and the text field became empty. However, because I have save draft enabled, I just backed out and went to reply again and what I typed up was restored. I’ll have to pay attention to what happened just before that may be triggering this.

I remember that issue now. Not sure I’ve ran into it myself.

Perhaps, but if you could provide more details on the sorting and Piefed issues, it may be something other users are having as well.

Could you expand on what you mean by the sticky selector? Also on New sorting for Connect. I have my default sort as New and it seems to work fine for communities, including Connect. As well as the Piefed issues.

Not sure but I think users are automatically switched over to the current database system in recent updates so I would suggest updating to the latest version. I’m on v1.0.394. If you’re on a recent version and the stuttering persists, can you reply with the bug report info? You can get that by copying it by going into Settings, tapping the three dots in the top right, and then on bug report.

I don’t think development is done on the older database system so that’s probably why you’re seeing issues. I would recommend people switch over as it’ll worsen over time. Presumably at some point the dev may switch all the remaining clients over in an future update.

Could you expand on the issue? Is it performance issues you’re seeing with scrolling feeds like All or a community? Or perhaps scrolling comments and seeing the scroll stutter back and forth?

Also, it may be help in identifying the problem by knowing which settings you’re using, as well as the version you’re on. If you’re on a recent version, you should be able to fill your post with those information by editing your post; there should be a prompt near the top. If you’re not seeing that, you can edit in the info by going into Settings, tapping on the three dots in the top right, and then report bug.
