We could also bring #LaTex support but it's maybe a little too much for what #Fedilab is supposed to do?

Ah well that's a very niche. I'd rather go for usability features

apps,
@apps@toot.fedilab.app avatar

@hikingdude
Sure, what would you like to see fixed or added to the app?

@apps
I submitted some suggestions (at least I hope they are understandable) https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues?type=all&sort=&state=open&labels=&milestone=0&project=0&assignee=0&poster=98241

One thing I wonder: I think fedilab is the only app where I hit an upload button and I have to choose what type of media I want to upload. In all other apps, this is done transparent for the user. What's the reason for this?

@hikingdude
It allows you to directly target the directory.

hikingdude,
@hikingdude@mastodon.social avatar

@apps
Ahh now I get it. Thanks for explaining. Nevertheless I personally find it strange as all my other apps behave in a different way.
But.. Just my opinion 😉

@hikingdude@mastodon.social avatar

@apps
But to be honest, this one really bothers me https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues/876

Fedilab sollte noch offene Baustellen schließen, die Übersetzungsfunktion ist oft ohne Funktion. Auch passiert es das nicht immer alle Tröts in der Home-TL abgerufen werden. Bitte erst solche Dinge reparieren bevor neues kommt.

@apps I'd prefer some more "pain relief", e.g. an option to suppress display of an author's posts #2 to #n of a thread (as if the respective thread author had set their posts #2 to #n to "unlisted").

@katzenberger
In your home feed you can hide replies. Long press the tab for that.

katzenberger,
@katzenberger@social.tchncs.de avatar

@apps Well, if I had done that, I would have missed this reply by you 😂

What I mean is: replies of people to their own posts, as often used for threads (usually marked like "1/5", "2/5", ... "5/5"). I'd like to suppress "2/5" to "5/5", since I'd read these anyway if I was interested in the thread.

Having all posts of a lengthy thread that is of no interest to me clutter my timelines is a recurring pain for me.

@apps

It's wonderful that you have that functionality - I would love to be able to turn off replies to self separately if that is possible. Is there a way to do that?

apps,
@apps@toot.fedilab.app avatar

@bel_lion
No, it's not possible.

rumo,

@apps
I have other unresolved issues with Fedilab.

  1. For months I have been pushed to the top of new messages instead of starting at the bottom message. This had worked for quite some time before.

  2. Also, I am missing the button to remotely retrieve a thread. Can't find the button in the settings anymore.

  3. Always already when playing videos the bottom list with the 3 points 🔽⏺️⏹️ is above the timeline of the video, so I can almost never use it.

@rumo
1 - Could you describe the context?
2 - On a message> share>Open with another account
3 - We will fix that

rumo,

@apps

  1. Get new toots -> app scrolls up automatically. However, I would like to stay at the last place in timeline I read.

  2. For the 2nd case I have attached a screenshot.
    I am missing the button to retrieve the complete history of the toot.
    This does not happen automatically, as I think it should? That's why I wish the button back.

  3. Thank you very much. For all your work!
    Love your app❣️

@rumo
If you have enabled remote conversations in settings it's done automatically that's why the button is not displayed.

apps,
@apps@toot.fedilab.app avatar

@rumo
But there is a bug with the detailed message that is not displayed, we will check that.

apps,
@apps@toot.fedilab.app avatar

@rumo
For the first point, have you disabled the "remember position" in settings?
Or what do you mean by "get new toots" ? Tap twice in the tab? If so, it's a normal behavior.

rumo,

@apps
I have this problem now over half a year and yes, the setting is set.

I open Fedilab and the new posts will load and I jump automaticly to the top. I changed setting many times and reinstalled app. Always same result.

nunesgh,

@apps
I think it would be very useful for users who follow accounts on servers that support it. This is my case, for instance. But I don't think it is a priority.

tip,
@tip@mastodon.online avatar

@apps

I use #latex daily but I doubt I would use it for social media posts. I'm very happy with the #latex math support already available. This is my main reason for using #Fedilab.

Thanks for the great work.

Progenitus,

@apps
You already support the LaTeX math environments.
For text formatting there is now markdown support, which is more readable than LaTeX without having rendering it.
Apart from mathstodon.xyz - in the Webinterface - I don't know where else math environments are supported.

Haven't tested it, but combining both would solve most issues, don't it?

Overall I think it would be too much.

PS: writing LaTeX on Android devices without a physical keyboard is not something I would like to do.

ASP,
@ASP@masto.ai avatar

@apps

What would be the use case for this?

Please first fix #nitter support before adding #LaTeX

apps,
@apps@toot.fedilab.app avatar

@ASP
Nitter is fixed, you have to change the default instance.
Currently nitter.net throws a 403, they suggest to switch while they will enable back RSS feeds on their instance.

ASP,
@ASP@masto.ai avatar

@apps

How can the default instance be changed?

ASP,
@ASP@masto.ai avatar

@apps

Found it, went ahead and set "nitter.nl" as the default Twitter frontend domain, still not possible to create a list with public nitter timelines 🫤

I am using version 3.23.1

@ASP @apps

All instances (currently 6) with the update status 20.08.2023 or newer are working again.

3 has rss feed
