@lemmy.caHi, it's been a while since I've done one of these so this will be changes between 150 and 171. I've been focused on resolving image and performance issues mainly in this time but I also added a couple new things too. Youtube links now open in-app (configurable in settings), there's an option to remove special characters from display names which also changes bubble letters into plain letters, search results are now sortable, and mentions now show up correctly in the inbox.
Thank you everyone for all of the support and suggestions, please keep them coming and we'll continue to make Connect the best app for browsing Lemmy!

When an inline video is present, Lemmy Connect doesn't display it - just a blank space.
Eg. This post, number 10: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/28135123
On the web interface it works, so it ought to work in Connect too.
Hey, connect Caches several gigabytes of data and occasionally crashes because of that. i don't think thats how it should be. Though i might report it.
Lemmy Connect attempts to add ?format=webp
to the image URL when loading .gif image, this makes many Lemmy servers return an error.
When opening the post in the web browser, without the extra addition to the image URL, the image loads correctly.

I'm upset that a meme I tried to remake with Unicode box drawing characters lines up terribly in apps: https://lemmy.ca/post/28490027 Shouldn't code blocks render in monospace?
On Lemmy's web frontend it's perfect:
On Connect it looks like this:
On Jerboa it's basically the same:
Eternity does use monospace but the box drawing characters seem to be too wide.
All I can find about it here is one post from a year ago: https://lemmy.ca/post/1492857
Hey, I saw the link to this community in my settings today and just wanted to say thanks for the app. I use it every day.
Like "don't preload images on cell network"
Hi there, I've got this issue that when I try to upload an image it just doesn't work. It doesn't give me any error messages, the image is simply not uploaded. I click upload and nothing happens. If it's a screenshot, sometimes it'll work, sometimes it won't. Connect doesn't give me any feedback if the image is uploading at all, or if the request was denied or ignored or whatever.
The issue seems to be worse when trying to upload an image in a comment. Has anybody else encountered this problem?
This seems to have surfaced when trying to open an Mbin magazine from Connect (via Lemmy of course), by tapping on them in the subs list (or searching/tapping).
If I search for !teletext@fedia.io or !FloatingIsFun@fedia.io they both give this error, so I think it's something to do with Mbin magazines. I haven't seen it happen on Lemmy communities.
Hopefully tapping those links will show the error - they do here.
Right now, youtube has its own preference option, for method of opening. Could we expand this to allow users to input domains and select an opening method for them?
Generally, I want to open videos in app and articles in browser. I don't know if there's a better way to achieve this than giving users an option per domain, with custom domain input, but I'm open to other methods.
