While I'm sure there will be a lot of false starts with this tech and it will take a while to iron out the kinks, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. This will probably be similar to the switch from small, limited world maps in games to expansive open-worlds. It's going to be a massive boost to immersion and will probably lead to some hilarious bugs/unexpected behaviours. Can't wait!

I've been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don't understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It's really unfortunate that it's mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

For a second I was worried this was a phallic thing, thanks for clarifying

They're actually harmless and keep your yard free of invasive species (like humans).

Is that not typical?

@Display Name@lemmy.ml is right, confirmed via their official FAQs: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp

When sending and receiving Signal, iMessage and WhatsApp messages, Beeper's web service acts as a relay. For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.

I see a lot of posts like this where the title is truncated. Clicking on the title in an app/browser just seems to take you to the link, so I have no idea what the full title actually says.

This appears to be a bug, unless I'm missing something?

Some links don't seem to open within the internal WebView, and only work when opened with the external browser. This seems to happen to all hacker news links.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if the feature is working correctly, but blocking the instance on the shown post blocks mastodon.uno instead of feddit.it which is what I would expect.

It would be helpful if the block options in the menu showed the name of what they were going to block, as I've often accidentally blocked the user's instance instead of the community's instance in a post. It's difficult to know at a glance what the different parts of a post's categories are (user@instance/community@instance, etc).

Also, blocking an instance means comments from users of that instance are blocked too, which is not desirable. I think the point of blocking an instance is only to block posts from communities on that instance.

Thanks!

Connect seems to be linking to the wrong thread in a crosspost like in the linked thread. It's pointing to "What Ever Happened To Victoria’s Secret Karen??" instead of the Watch party group.

they’re replacing “Lemmy.world/c/965504” with “Lemmy.ca/c/965504”, which is a totally different post, despite sharing the same number.

Each post is only valid within its own server.

That is one thing that I hope goes away soon.

It's almost always cultural appreciation, not appropriation! Please try my culture's foods, wear our clothes and watch our movies. Ask me about how I lived, what parts of my culture signify and where they came from. This is how we bridge cultural gaps, not by isolating and gatekeeping!

I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. - M K Gandhi

It seems like we can't leave a comment on some posts which require a language to be selected. I'm not sure if this is a community setting or something.

I can't select a language while posting, so the comment doesn't go through .

If you'd like, you can edit the title :) that's one of lemmy's cool features.

ProtonVPN. It's an organization built around principles of privacy, so I use them a lot and support them as much as I can. I have their VPN on a docker container with gluetun.

Some posts seem to not load a preview, and clicking on them shows doesn't load their content in the internal WebView:

Opening in the external browser loads them correctly. Here's an example of an affected post: https://lemmy.ca/post/1137443

I'm not sure, but I think this is theImgur redirect breaking things. Would it be possible to handle this more gracefully?

Edit: fixed example link

The profile seems to be missing my submitted posts? Latest Connect version.

Thanks!

Edit: seems to be an issue with the API, not Connect, but leaving this post here for visibility

/c/all is now predictably cluttered with porn from the lemmynsfw instance. Can we get a block instance option in the instance page, instead of having to block each individual instance?

As a related request, would you be open to a feature like a "blocked share list" that somebody can import? You could use it to maintain and share a list of onlyfans accounts if you don't want to see them, for instance.

Thanks for all your work!

Text links to external sites are a bit bare right now. It would be great if we could dhow a short snippet of the content or some sort of preview for links to know more before clicking on them. I'm not sure if this can be done without an additional request?

Thanks!

It would be awesome if you could change feeds from All/Local/Subscribed in the title bar, as well as navigate to or search your subscribed communities as well, similarly to how some Reddit apps had it.

Thanks!

I keep seeing posts without upvotes/downvotes in my feed that I am sure I've voted. It's possible that I voted them on a different client on my phone.

I would think that this persists across clients/pages, is this not the case?
