 @ivory Since it’s a new major release, I have to ask: Does it handle non-numeric status IDs? @daniel No. We aren't going to tackle that until we are done with all the major features/improvements that affect all users. That will be a huge undertaking. @grork @ivory Short version: It doesn’t affect Mastodon itself, but other server implementations (one ex. being all the Misskey forks) provide a Mastodon-compatible API that uses alphanumeric status IDs, which is the main reason why Ivory doesn’t work with non-Mastodon servers. The Mastodon spec states that status IDs are not guaranteed to be numeric, they just are in practice: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/Status/#id  @ivory @daniel Would love to see this as well! Hoping for support for @gotosocial in the future.  @weston They do not at the moment. We wanted to make sure there aren't any issues with it first as well as hear customer feedback overall. Still, I understand development takes time. Thinking I should include the Apple platform in the list name to avoid issues when synchronization does get implemented… @ivory the fact that only, and exclusively, works with Mastodon servers limits the usage spectrum. Many other servers implement, and adhere to, Mastodon’s APIs. @cinekie I don't think so at this time. Eventually we want to have language filters in our timeline filters and that’s probably the route you'd be able to take to accomplish this in the future.  @ivory Awesome job as always! Continues to be the favourite Mastodon client for @jsbilsbrough and me. I though sometimes say “have you seen my Ivory post?” Or “Just posted our Ivory”. @ivory one thing I notice is the new share sheet doesn’t seem to autocomplete mentions anymore. Is that coming back? I often tag friends when using the share sheet. I also noticed a weird thing going on with spelling suggestions popping up above and outside the text entry field. @jay It could come back in the future. We wanted to get a solid base out and hear feedback from users. Thanks for that bug. Will look into it. @ivory love the mobile app but was very close to deleting this when I saw no option or mention of multi-column support. Figured I *must* have gotten that wrong so went back and searched and found there is a disabled option in the 'View' menu to add a column (I'd already searched through Settings for it), so I guess that just requires a subscription? TBH I'm still apprehensive about subscribing without trying that first. Seems strange that you'd hide that away. Just fyi, I suppose :-). @michaelflanagan There's only support for columns on the iPad and it's a single column. iPadOS has the ability to run multiple instances of an app side by side which works. There's no multi-column support on iOS as phones are way too small for that and we don't support landscape mode in Ivory. @ivory oh, I see. Maybe I'm confusing iPad/iOS/MacOS apps then. It was the MacOS app I was referring to (I already use and like the iOS app very much, no need for multi-column there). Is there not multi-column on the MacOS app? The option to add a column seems to be there (greyed-out) in the View menu but I don't see mention of it anywhere else. I'm only guessing that it's a subscriber only feature. @michaelflanagan Ah yes. On Mac you can set up to 6 columns per window and yes it's disabled when not subscribed. If you haven't already, we highly recommend going through the trial period. If that's available to you, subscribe, and then immediately go into your subscription settings and unsubscribe. That way you won't forget later. You'll get to use the app completely during the trial period and it will just expire after 7 days. Weird question but do you mind me asking what is Ivory? What does it do? Is it available on play store? @ivory Do filters (muting) work with hashtag lists? They don't seem to for me on a quick check. I have a user muted and they appear in a hashtag list, same for a muted hashtag (I see exclude hashtags in the hashtag list dialog). My test case is following the #NYGiants and #Giants but not the #SFGiants in the #MLB. @hmelman They may not. Will make note to look into this. Also don't have an answer yet if it's something overlooked on the server side of things or if we need to somehow implement it on our end. Thanks!  @ivory hi! Really nice update! Was wondering 2 things: Thanks! @jglypt Mastodon limitation. But eventually we want to add language filters to our Timeline filters which then you could apply to a list. @jglypt 4 is the limit. Not our limit, but Mastodon's. They will most likely get iCloud sync in the future. @jglypt Yes it's an extremely hard feature to find on the website. You need to be in the advanced interface and even then there's a process which is very confusing. @ivory well, the share sheet is now better for adding ALT that the post UI in the app 😍 Can we hope a box like that, to add ALT text to attachment as fast as in the share sheet? @Timekeeper We will address that when we redesign the compose view completely. @ivory Definitely both on 2, but I can't see any option on the Mac for altering the icons below the posts. @ivory On iOS you can change the icons below the post window, Home Faves, etc. I was hoping you could do the same on the Mac. @tekguru Oh no. We didn't make any changes to how that stuff works yet. But our primary navigation bar is going to get a completely overhaul in one of the next few updates and you'll be able to configure them all on Mac and iOS.   @ivory is there a help page available for how the hashtag list works? I can’t figure out how to add a hashtag to a list (am using the TestFlight 2.0). @ivory Hashtag lists are 👌🏼 Great job I wish there was an option to set all replies as unlisted (I always forget that) @ivory Congrats on the launch! My main timeline looks much leaner now that hashtag lists are here! @vaempyr Honestly it's a bit too similar to the one we already have. But who knows. Maybe someday.  @ivory Thank you! A suggestion: it would be nice to be able to set a different accent color for each account.  @ivory I read through the replies and I didn't see anyone else ask this (so, it is likely just me). Is the primary purpose of a hashtag list so that I can unfollow tags and clean up my home feed? Do they sync across devices? (It doesn't appear they do.) Thank you! @cdevroe Yup. Following a hashtag is to see them in your main timeline. Creating hashtag lists are for unique hashtag timelines that don't clutter your home feed. They don't sync yet, but probably will in the future. |
