    Thank you so much! I did not expect such speedy answer and fixes!

    I can’t find out to jump to “all” or “local” posts of a specific instance.

    This is not currently supported. Once you are signed in, the app will use the current account’s instance for everything. I think a solution for this would be to have a special signed out account that can browse any instance but with no permission to perform any actions. I’ll add this to the user requests backlog.

    Ok. Yeah, makes sense that what would be hard to do if you currently expect only a single account at the same time. For me it would make sense to be able to switch to a dummy anonymous account, since I think that that (more or less) is the case when no account is logged in at all and you can still browse lemmy.world. (If I remember correctly that that was Summit but I have tried so many apps, I can’t tell.)

    Another issue I stumbled upon just before is at least a bit adjacent to this one. I followed a http link in a post to lemmy.world but your app recognized that and opened it like every other post. However I cannot interact/upvote with it because, obviously, it is on the wrong instance:

    Incompatible account instance
    
    There is a mismatch between the instance the account was created on (programming.dev) and the instance the action is taken on (lemmy.world).
    You can fix this by either signing in to an account on the instance lemmy.world or by loading this page from the lemmy.world instance.
    

    That makes sense. (The last “lemmy.world” in this text should be “programming.dev” in this case). But I cannot find out how to do that. In liftoff I would go to the context menu and select “view on other instance” and select my account on programming.dev and it would continue working. However, I cannot find something similar in summit and I am not sure (as a user) how to apply the suggestion in the popup (maybe I am stupid).

    Also, the handling of this case is not consistent. Trying to upvote triggers the message above. Trying to “Save” a comment/post results in:

    Unable to save post
    
    Client error. code: 401. Message: Attempted to call an auth'd endpoint with the wrong account. Account instance: programming.dev Api instance: lemmy.world.
    

    I think that the anonymous account would come in handy here too. In my imagination it would be cool, if the app could use a logged-in account for instances with logged-in in accounts (maybe for simplicity only one per instance?) and fall back to an anonymous account for instances without account. Trying to interact with stuff could trigger the instance/account selection and then open the post from the selected instance.

    (I know, simply said in a couple of sentences and then it’s weeks of work…)

    Up/downvotes are on the left, but comment count on the right. Would be cool, if there was an option to have them together.

    This is tough to design for. I played around with it for 5 minutes but couldn’t get anything that looks nice. Is there any particular reason you want them to be together? The reason they are separate is mostly for aesthetics. You can try compact view which does have them together if you want.

    Well, I think they belong together :D When scrolling through, I normally look at the votes and comments to judge how important or polarizing the topic is. I am on a 10" tablet (SM-T720) in landscape so both values are about 19 cm apart. All the content is on the left side, except for the comment count which is far off and alone on the right.

    But I can live with the compact view if that makes it easier for you.

    oh, it would be cool, if “save post” could be pulled out from the submenu beneath a post or comment.

    For performance reasons the “submenu” is difficult to change/customize at the moment. If you use “save post/comment” a lot I would recommend changing one of the gestures to that. I will add configuring the “submenu” as a user request.

    Thank you! Yeah, I pretty much never write comments but I do save. I have never liked using gestures so I won’t use them but looking for the button is not the end of the world. I mean I also do not save that much. Customization would be nice, though!

    Drafts are saved but I can’t find them. A menu in the composing-post would be cool.

    The next update will allow you to long tap any of the compose tool buttons to see a description. The drafts can be accessed by tapping on the icon button that looks like a page (2nd button from the left).

    Ohhhhh! Well, I would not have looked there for them. Probably only after I would have stumbled upon it by accident while writing the text. More logical for me was in the top-right menu, but there you can only “save”, not “load”.

    the community-popup (button on top left) has a weird “back”-history. A popup should be always first to close. Also it should be modal since you interact with everything in the background and can’t close it tapping outside.

    I couldn’t reproduce any issues here. Tapping back always dismissed the community-popup for me. If you find a way to reproduce it 100% please let me know.

    1. $ Start app
    2. $ Open community popup
    3. $ Open a post (on the list in the background; not in the popup)
    4. $ Press the back button
    5. App navigates back
    6. $ Press the back button
    7. App closes the community popup

    The most weird thing for me is that all outside the popup is interactable. Example Video (link self-destructs in a couple of days).

    Though, that might all be a “me” problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Thank you for all the stuff you fixed!

    Ok, thank you! You are indeed correct, that it is subscribed at some point in the future. It would be cool if there was some kind of feedback for the user that something is happening. In liftoff, the button would change to “pending” to indicate that the app forwarded the request but it was still processing. In summit I am not even sure if I hit the button.





  • Not sure if it is equal on all distros but on every one I have used it’s a readable string of muliple components. One of them is “usb” for a usb mass storage, so if it is the only one you have connected to your computer it is very obvious. For like sata disks it has the manufacturer and serial on it so you can match what drive it is you want to write to. Also, the name is pretty unique (on your sysytem at least, globally I don’t know), so even if you swap hardware around, you cannot write to the wrong storage if you got the right name. Like “sdb” can be reassigned, but the id is an id.
