Unfortunately there’s an issue with turning it on. I was viewing this post and noticed that viewing it the first time is fine. When you reopen the post and try to scroll up from the bottom of the post, the app let’s you for a split second before seemingly preventing the scroll action. Turning off the setting lets you scroll fine on revisits with the caveat that you need to refresh to view comments.

I had that off and turning it on does fix it. Guess I’ll turn it on.

Can you add the gallery icon in the bottom right of the thumbnail for list view as well? It’s a useful indicator when the option is enabled but unavailable for list view it seems.

It’s still happening in 297.

This seems to still be a problem in v296. For edited posts, the edited post will not be shown after you submit the edit. Going back and refreshing the post will still not update view. You need to close Connect and reopen to view the post properly.

The other problem of posts not showing comments when you view them also remains. It seems limited to posts you’ve edited. So viewing posts you’ve made but haven’t edited is fine. This happens intermittently so if you don’t see it right away, just view another post and go back to your edited post. The problem does not go away even after reopening Connect.

Dev did just that. In v1.296 you can now specify the max cache size. I think 2GB is the default but you can totally up that yourself.

Yeah, still an issue in 296s unfortunately. Guess I’ll go back to card view until it’s resolved.

EDIT: The problem does go away if you turn off opening links in an external browser. Also, of it helps any, I use URLCheck for my external browser.

I’m sure the dev has the details of your issue on their tracker and works on it when they can. Unfortunately the problem seems rare and the cause unclear so it remains elusive for the time being.

Perhaps it’s time to check out one of the other Lemmy apps and maybe check back sometime in the future if you’re still looking for a daily driver.

I can’t read that in dark mode either. It’s all black after tapping on the white spoiler bar. Works fine in the browser.

No worries. But I did already imported the old settings file. It’s mostly user notes lost but those can be re-entered. Perhaps a convenient feature for the future could be regular automatic backup of settings.

The latest version is 1.0.275. I just tried saving a picture and it worked fine. That is a beta build so you will need to join the beta. This can be done from the Connect app page from the Play Store or App Store. Usually enrolling is a few minutes but sometimes you may not have the option to update for a couple of hours.

If I recall correctly it was working previously but is currently broken.

EDIT: Using the other context menu to block is working though.

I thought maybe it’s running a MediaTek chipset or something but no, it’s a Snapdragon. Then I was thinking maybe it’s an issue with Connect saving to an SD card but this device doesn’t have a slot. I don’t think it’s a hardware or OS problem either. Have you tried changing the download directory? If it’s not the normal Download folder, maybe try changing to that. If it is, try Documents or just the internal storage root.

Some have upvoted the post and presumably because they’ve also experienced something similar and if that’s the case, it would be helpful if additional perspective and information can be provided.

Maybe the dev might have further questions but yeah I’m not sure what it could be in this case.

I’m tried toggling a few settings but I’m not able to reproduce this issue. I’m on v1.0.275 and maybe it’s with an earlier version? Which version are you on?

kuro_neko@lemmy.ca is the dev. I’m just some rando on the internet.

The preview thing may be due to the “Should resolve Opengraph links” setting. I’m not sure if it’s off by default but if it is, turning it on may resolve some of the preview thumbnails.

Does enabling the “Force fullsized Thumbnails” setting resolve the issue?

This was an issue in a recent version. The current version is v1.0.275. If you don’t have an update option, there should be an option to join the beta on the Connect Play Store or App Store page. Usually it takes a few minutes but sometimes it can take a few hours to enroll.

Perhaps some combination of settings is behind this. What are your text option, post, and comment text sizes? It looks like 0.875, small, and small, but just to confirm. Also, you’ve tried forcing closing Connect and reopening?

If Connect is the only app you noticed this then it may not be the launcher. I’ve sometimes seen font size issues after adjusting the text option setting but that gets resolved after reopening Connect.

Does the issue occur every time or just sometimes? Also, are there other posts with this problem?
