Just submitted to App Review and set to automatically release. Hopefully won't be too long!

  • Fixed missing icons on older versions of iOS.
  • Fixed long press for account picker not working when tab labels were turned off.
  • Reverted automatic link detection for the time being due to some issues with the regex.

When I tap an inbox message, it’s supposed to take me to that spot in the conversation. Unfortunately, I’m always taken to the wrong spot, so I need to scroll around a to find the right spot. In short threads that’s not really a problem, but in longer ones it’s becoming a serious issue.

Nearly all the other apps also have the same bug, so you’re not alone with this one.

Yeah this is a tough problem to solve due to the way Lemmy handles comments but hopefully I can work on it a little more to improve it.

All comments are delivered from the API in a single list with a path property. This property is formatted like 0.123.727.828.277 which is where in the thread the post is shown.

Sometimes, not all posts are even shown if this is too far down the stack.

What I think I’ll probably end up doing is creating a single comment view like Reddit did and have this show the context. I can then have a button to view it all comments.

Yeah, I’ve noticed it must be a tough nut to crack, since so many apps suffer from it. During my tests, I’ve found that only Voyager, Liftoff, Avelon and Lemmios have found a way to solve it, and they all resorted to showing only a part of the whole thread. I guess the path property just doesn’t work very well once the thread becomes long enough.

After the Reddit APIcalypse Lemmy was flooded with new users and now many conversations definitely are long enough that this is becoming an issue.
