    Turned out the TF environment and dev environment arent compatible, so just had to switch that for all the notifications to come through! Not diagnostics atm, might be a good idea to add that tho. Some kind of metrics would also be pretty insightful..

    Seems like I missed some details about how push notifications work in testflight, should be good now if you enable it and allow in system settings. Did you get this notification? If you didn't, you might have to toggle it off and on again in the app!







  • Thanks for all the info! You're right, this is a result of the youtube embed feature. Even with the option disabled, the app still does some preprocessing to get embedded links so you don't have to reload everything in case you turn it on. I'll look into converting the links back if you open them directly in the browser




  • IMO the most important thing by far is making the core app experience as solid as possible. Things like post feeds, comment sections, posting, sharing, image viewers, inboxes, replying, editing, text selection, user profiles, swipe gestures, searching, font settings, sorting options, display options, hiding read posts and everything else you'd expect takes a lot of time to develop, maintain and polish. The vast majority of my development time is spent on improvements, bug fixes and new features for everyone, and I really do care a lot about creating a great experience that can help improving Lemmy overall. Offering some more niche nice-to-have features on top of that is a good way to support everything else.

    I'm not going to add a higher tier - as I briefly mentioned in an earlier comment my goal is rather the opposite. If Lemmy keeps growing, Avelon Pro could at some point make sense as a $5-or-something one-time upgrade. Unfortunately that's just not the case right now.






  • Looks like discuss.online is using Lemmy v19 RC2 (which is still in beta) so if there are breaking changes there, that could be why. I've already added support for v19, but that support was based on RC 1.

    You could try to remove and add the account again if you haven't tried that yet, but if it still fails I'd recommend using a stable v18 instance for now. I'll take a look at adding better error messages to the login screeen to make it a bit easier to find out what's happening.





  • Good idea! I'll look at adding a free trial or other demo functionality.

    Community groups let you add any number og communities (from any instance) into a named group that appears with your subscriptions on the "posts" tab. When you open it the feed works the same as usual, but will contain a mix of posts from the selected communities. The mix is designed to be even, so if one of the communities is much smaller you'll still see posts from that one too. You can sort as usual, but the mix will try to remain even as long as there are enough posts to pick from.

    What was the issue with Bean's implementation?
