I think an option to hide blocked user’s comments would be useful in cases where replies to their comments are corrections or pushback that one may want to see and upvote.

Once you view a post, any comments should be marked as read so the next time you visit the post, only comments between then and now should be highlighted. Sometimes there may be a caching issue and if you find the highlighting is off, try refreshing the post. Usually the feature works fine for me and I find it useful so I have it on.

For comments, you can delete right from the context(three dots) menu but for posts, you have to edit the post and the option to delete will be in the top right. You can delete or leave it up, up to you.

Was that over your cache limit? I thought that was fixed and enforced. I’ve been keeping an eye on my cache size and it doesn’t even go over like 400MB. But I also turned off image and video preloading.

Tap as in single tap right? Also do you have swipe typing on? Last question, this is with Gboard?

Could you clarify on the issue? I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue, on 422, on either Heliboard or Gboard. What I’ve been doing is double tapping, or tapping and holding, a word and the highlighting seems to working fine. It seems to be at the point where I tap and start at the beginning of the world and end at the end.

The changelog for v1.0.422 mentions fixing and optimizing the caching system and if you’re still having th issue then let us know.

Yeah, it’s a current bug. The feature was working before and I think it’s an easy fix so it should be back to normal in the next update or two.~~

EDIT: Scratch that, it seems to be working fine. I’ll have to check this out in more detail.

EDIT2: Are you possibly trying to hide a sticky post? Because currently you can hide it but then it comes right when you refresh the feed.

EDIT 3: Ah, so if you hide any post, it will hide it but it doesn’t seem to be saved because once you refresh the feed, the post that should be hidden is back.

I’ve piggybacked reports by just adding a reply to my own posts so if you want to do that, I don’t think anyone would mind.

To add to the report, I’ve seen this with posts that have 100+(or maybe it was 150) comments. Smaller posts don’t seem to exhibit the problem for me. Sometimes tapping on view more, I get a message at the bottom that it can’t load the comments, but after a few seconds, the comments proceed to be loaded. Sometimes, message but no comments. Sometimes it’s an error exception about not being able to find the comments.

If you open the same post on your computer and then come back later, it would also be out of date until you manually refreshed the page. But when it comes to mobile apps, I think people are more used to content being more up to date.

Perhaps content, when grab, could be timestamped and when the focus is regained on the app, it could automatically refresh content that are say more than an hour old.

Until tweaks are implemented, users can manually update content info without having to clear the cache. It depends but sometimes just refreshing the post or feed will do. In some cases you do need reopen the app.

The user vote total setting is not on by default so if someone does not see any point or value in it, then they can just leave it off.

At least for me, I’m not predisposed to voting based on a user vote total. But I did recently read a post where someone mentioned they automatically downvote some posts without reading as a Reddit habit. So I can understand if some have reservations. But I don’t think that user is representative of a large swath of Lemmy users. And not everyone had the user vote total setting on.

That said, I do appreciate your input and reply. It was just an idea I had and if it’s not a good idea, well that’s fine.

v1.0.421 was released recently and the changelog mentions addressing this. It is a beta release so you won’t see it unless you’ve enrolled to receive such updates, which can be done from the app’s Google Play Store page.

It’s not open source. The dev said they were considering it sometime last year so I guess they changed their mind.

Wait, what? It’s just the sender and receiver’s instances that can read the message; it’s not just any server right?

Yeah, Android only. You could try requesting iOS development. I’m not sure how open the dev would be to that though.

Connect for Lemmy and Piefed. Started out with Jerboa and then Sync when it came out but have been using Connect ever since I found out it’s made in Canada.

Someone mentioned leaving and rejoining the beta helped them see an update.

Some posters have mentioned that clearing the app cache fixed the problem for them. The dev has also pushed two updates to try and resolve the issue. Let us know if you’re still seeing it on v1.0.417.

I’ve gotten in the habit of regularly exporting my settings in case there’s a problem. That way if I need to test resetting the app, I can do so without losing stuff. In Settings, tap on the three dots in the top right and then on Export Settings.

I’ve reset the app without thinking it through before so I can relate.

For reference, if there are others who don’t know how to clear the app data, here’s the steps for me on a Pixel 6 on Android 16. Some things may vary a bit depending on your device and Android version. I tap and hold on Connect and then tap on App Info in the popup menu. Tap on Storage & cache. Then tap on the clear cache button. Don’t tap on the clear storage button since you’ll lose some stuff.
