New iOS app release is waiting for Apple review! It adds a community timeline and fixes sign-up errors not being shown and servers being listed in the wrong order during onboarding.

@Gargron Community timeline is a huge addition!

Said F.

@gargron falls du Beta Tester für die iOS Version brauchst stehe ich gerne zur Verfügung 😀

@Gargron is there also a community feature request/bug report interface/repo for the app?

I’d love if my notifications didn’t show up with the entire full-size post for each notification. They’re just SO BIG 😅

  Eugen Rochko

@b_cavello Yes! Everything we do can be found through github.com/mastodon. That is a common complaint, I'll bump it up with the designers.

@Gargron ah! I didn’t realize it was all in one spot. How handy. Thank you so much!

  Bix Frankonis

@Gargron @b_cavello Kind of related: I do love the iOS app’s approach to CWs (the big, bold, centered text) and I do see the argument for keeping the post size intact (I assume to give an indication of post length) but it really does take up a lot of room if you’re trying to scroll past a CW’d thread that’s several posts long. (Unrelated dislike: the app insists on switching my posts to followers-only.)

  Eugen Rochko

@bix @b_cavello Hi, that's probably because your account is set to require follower approval. That sets your default posting visibility to followers-only.

  Bix Frankonis

@Gargron But it doesn’t happen that way in the web interface. I have my settings to default public posts and that’s always what the posting form is set to when I go to post.

@Gargron create an auto translate button and an option to show more "touts" from accounts front other instances that we follow worldwide, in Android app . Thanks

@Gargron great news, thanks for all the hard work🎉🥳🎊🍾

@Gargron

Hooray for the local timeline, thanks for adding that!

Lafontaine La Fontaine

@Gargron Thank you for your work. Is there any way to support you? I'm new here and would really like to know, technical, marketing or simple monitary? :catjam:

Jason Friedrich

@Gargron will it by any chance also support pinned messages? I realized more by accident that it doesn’t seem to display them in profiles

  Eugen Rochko

@jason There are many secondary features that are still to be added. We've prioritized the big ones at the start. Great domain by the way!

  Jason Friedrich

@Gargron Thank you, I stumbled upon it by accident 😄. I did not know the ba.it domain before. Thanks for the clarification regarding the app, good to hear that it is "known" and not a bug, just a feature that hasn't made the cut yet. By the way, I just realized that my "explore -> news" tab empty. I am not sure how this tab is filled with data, can you point me to some documentation about it? I was not very successful so far in finding something about that section. Thanks in advance 😁

  Jason Friedrich

@Gargron Also, thank you so much for your hard work on managing the storm on mastodon.social. Must be challenging at the moment, but great job managing all this and also explaining it to people. Kudos!

@Gargron Yay, that is a lovely addition!

@Gargron federated when
Even would be cool if toots would appear in an hour or 30 minutes so moderators can do their work

@Gargron sounds awesome! I’ve been using the iOS app a lot. This may be more of a personal preference thing but I’ve found that the “pull to refresh” feels a bit, stiff? Like I have to pull down farther than I think I do to trigger it. I realize that probably goes down at the bottom of the triage list if anything, just wanted it to be said.

@Gargron pinging @steinloa. Community (local) timeline is coming to the official Mastodon app. :)

volkama

@Gargron is it normal that language filters don't work? I still see toots in other languages in public timelines.

Bluewall

@Gargron May be a stupid question but what is « community » exactly ? How does it select what it shows ? :) Thanks !

  Eugen Rochko

@Bluewall It is most recent posts from people who are also using your Mastodon server

  Bluewall

@Gargron maybe theres something I don’t understand but I’m on mastodon.online and I see month old post at the top ?

  Eugen Rochko

@Bluewall That's strange, I cannot reproduce this. Do you have any language filters set up?

  Bluewall

@Gargron Okay so I'm very sorry, I have NO idea why I had that checked. Thank you ! and sorry....

@Gargron If we’re talking about v1.4.0 then I just received the updated app. 👍

@Gargron Sounds good, looking forward to trying the update. Joined a couple of days ago and it’s a great place 😀

M. J. Wolfe

@Gargron do you have a TestFlight version or a beta program that I could join as I’d love to help but since I can’t help with the project by submitting code - I could help by been a beta tester and testing the app and submitting bug reports.

@gargron i feel like "instance timeline" makes more sense than "community timeline"

like, the whole point is building a community, is it not ?

  Eugen Rochko

@violet I'm not sure how A follows from B here. It sounds like your last paragraph is in favour of naming it community timeline. (Also, "instance" is an outdated term. We've been using "server" for years now)

  violet :violet_cybrespace:

@gargron i meant that "community timeline" doesn't sell the idea that it's the server that you signed up on because community could also refer to mastodon or the fediverse as a whole

i feel like "instance timeline" or "server timeline" make that more clear

Andra

@Gargron got it already this morning 🤩👌🏼

Leonie :pb:​ :22breadinv: :vf:

@Gargron tfw google approves apps faster than apple
