When an attached image is loaded, then if the loading fails the app should check if it's using proxying (domain belongs to posters'/forums' instance or user's instance & contains redirect format URL pointing to another domain) and give you a button to press to retry, which would suggest bypassing the proxy and requesting the original image directly

Motivation: I keep seeing broken image embeds and can't be bothered to view source and try the redirect section in my browser after rewriting it to a proper link for every failed image load

Let the app do that for me

Is there a way to have clickable action buttons in compact mode. I know you can long press the post and you get the action buttons but that has the vote actions all the way on the left which is hard to press with your thumb.

The way some other app does it is that it gives a button that expands a bar under to access the action buttons.

New install instantly broken

I newly installled this app to browse Lemmy Posts without any account anonymously. After I subscribed to 50+ communities, I found out that my feed for those is greyed out. Furthermore the list of subscriptions is a total mess because only a few of them are actually clickable, some redirect me to a community I never subscribed to and every community is listed there at least three times.
Any ideas what I can do? I'd heavily appreciate a solution that doesn't involve me needing to resubscribe to every channel.
Using GrapheneOS/routed through Tor. Shouldn't affect it in my opinion.

Seems to be new with v0.7.1.

I'm new to the app but noticed in 0.6.1 that despite changing my language to en_GB as soon as I leave settings and go back in, it reverts back to the US English setting. I went to your site and saw the link for translations and noted that the English (United Kingdom) had 0 translations. I signed up for an account and completed the language translation to 100% and so waited for a new release. Now that 0.7.1 is out the same issue occurs. Has the transition not been imported or am I hitting a bug?

Thanks for the great app!

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.7.1 is finally here! This release primarily focuses on improving Thunder’s core architecture in preparation for upcoming API changes. As a result, there aren’t too many new features this time around. The work is still ongoing and will take a bit more time to complete, but doing so will lay the foundation for Thunder to more easily support future API versions and platforms.

As always, if you experience any issues or have suggestions or feedback, feel free to share them with the Thunder community or on GitHub.

For those using Google Play or the App Store, it may take a couple of days to receive the update as it's being rolled out.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

Are there any plans for supporting piefed, another federated platform "close" to Lemmy? Just saw another client (Interstellar) being able to connect to Lemmy, mbin and piefed instances, wondered if its on the Thunder roadmap?

When using the Gboard keyboard in thunder, every time I go back to the main page the Gboard keyboard pops back up. Has anyone figured out how to use Gboard without this happening?

Note 20 ultra android 13. one ui 5.1

Couldn't find this in the search here so not 100% it has been suggested before:

Can we have an new option to group communities into one feed? This was called a multireddit back on reddit, allows more granularity for feeds.

This is even more useful here on Lemmy, e.g. there are 3 separate communities on different servers about the same or very similar topics. A multicommunity of these 3 would simply merge their feeds into one. Then you won't need to check them individually for new posts anymore, just check the muticommunity.

Not sure how you would solve posting to a multicommunity, maybe needs an extra selection to which actual community this should be posted to.

I think there is already a Lemmy app that has implemented this, don't remember which one...

I'm routinely running into an issue where if I haven't used the app in a while (a few hours), it hangs trying to connect. I then force restart and it's fine.

I was running onto this on the play store version but I'm on 0.7.0-1 now and still seeing it regularly.

Known issue? Or any suggestions on how to debug?

Images in NSFW communities are not treated the same as images individually marked as NSFW, and after a Lemmy update images in NSFW communities cannot be individually tagged as NSFW I hear.

I tap the star icon to save a post or comment, but how do I view those saved posts?

I can't find anywhere in the app to view these

Hello, just trying to figure out how to make a single message as read - at present all I see is the “Mark All Read” in the upper right hand corner, but I’d like to mark them off one at a time. Thanks!

I've been encountering an increasing number of links which "may not available on your instance", even for posts which I know are available on my instance.

Here is a absurdly silly example where I used a remote link to one of my own posts. It can't be unavailable on my instance, because I made the post! :)

I figured it out. I have the community blocked. Lemmy is dumb sometimes. Why it will happily show me the post via a direct link, but not any of the comments is beyond me! Not even that comment I specifically requested. Makes no sense. It should show both the post and comments, or neither, and not this in-between, confusing state.

I wish I could say this was the first time this exact issue has happened to me.

Original post:

I'm using 0.7.0-1, and I clicked a post that had this link and Thunder said there were no comments, yet the website itself shows several.

The link is to a specific comment.

Incidentally, after submitting this post, I tapped the eyeball to view it and nothing happened.

I wanted to bring to your attention a feature from Voyager for Lemmy that could be a valuable addition to Thunder.

Voyager has a "Migrate Subreddits" tool designed SPECIFICALLY for Reddit users transitioning to Lemmy.

This tool streamlines the migration process by helping users easily find communities on Lemmy that are similar to the subreddits they've subscribed to on Reddit.

The process in Voyager is straightforward:

1. Users log in to their Reddit account and access their subscription list via the "multireddit of your subscriptions" link available in the sidebar.
2. They copy the link and paste it into Voyager, allowing the tool to automatically search for corresponding communities on Lemmy.

This feature significantly lowers the friction for users migrating to a new platform by minimizing the effort required to find and rebuild their communities.

Has Thunder ever considered incorporating a similar "Migrate Communities" feature?

It could be an excellent addition to assist new users transitioning from Reddit, making it easier for them to rediscover and reconnect with the communities they care about most.

Such a feature could also enhance Thunder's onboarding process and attract a growing audience of users exploring alternative platforms.

If this is something Thunder could implement, it might be worth exploring further.

EDIT:

The way that it works is: when you enter the Multireddit link, it will show up like this:

And if you then tap on the link that you just added, you will get this:

And then, if you tap on one of them, depending on whether or not there is a Lemmy community alternative to the subreddit: you will either get this:

This:

Or this:

Hi all - I'm a several-times-a-day Thunder user and really enjoy the app. It's steadily evolving and improving which is awesome to see and I really appreciate the efforts of the dev team.

One thing that I think is missing is the ability to send and respond to DM's. Is that accurate (or am I just incompetent) and if so, is there an accepted alternative for handling DM's?

Posting a screenshot of the interface when I'm typing a comment reply as an example. I have large thumbs and I have to scale the keyboard up pretty high to be able to type. Thunder has what I would call a lot of wasted space in comment reply mode. The button bar could be hidden (it's not something I really use) and either the header text could be shrunk or omitted entirely. Just making the header scroll rather than being fixed could work as well. This would probably be a good use case for floating action buttons. There's basically only two things I care about when typing a comment reply: seeing the text I'm typing, and referencing the text I'm replying to. Would love some options that allow me to maximize the space used.

Seems to occur until app is restarted. If I use search, then to back to my home feed, open a post and then swipe to go back my keyboard still pops up.

1. Post a comment
2. Begin editing that comment
3. Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

1. Go here https://lemmy.today/comment/14903795
2. Hold your finger over any of that comment's links
3. Copy the link

Expected behavior: the share panel should close

Current behavior: it doesn't, which sometimes confuses me into thinking I didn't actually tap the button

If it's in the same line as the username, it gets overrun by the domain (for those of us who like to see user domains).
