My app crashes immediately upon opening, after the splash screen but before loading any posts. I’ve tried restarting my phone. Haven’t tried clearing the app’s cache because I don’t want to relogin and also I shouldn’t be on lemmy during work anyway lol.
Running Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra with Android 13 and One UI 5.1. I have sync ultra.
Edit: Clearing data worked until I restored my settings.
Just pushed beta 92 that fixes the crash.
Works now, thanks!
I tried clearing the cache and that didn’t work. Also it looks like I’m still logged in so I guess idk what the cache stores lol
Clearing the app data didn’t work either. It allowed me to launch the app and browse anonymously. I was even able to log in and browse, but when I restored my settings from the cloud backup the app crashed and now it’s back to crashing upon open.
Side note: the restore purchases button on the setup screen did not work, but the button in the “Get Ultra” page did.
Clearing cache logs you out?
No, but clearing data does
That’s what I thought, thanks

Seems like I cannot open comments anymore.
If you switch to the “slides” view mode that should stop the crash. I’ve already submitted a patch to Google, just waiting their approval.
Top stuff! Thanks, I would never even have thought to do that.
Blocked communities are not blocked #425
How does Sync have anything to do with Blocks? I read issue #425. The initial report says “Open the community. Click the block button. Community is now in the list of blocked communities.”
That block button has always been a server-side block recorded on the instance itself, right? So I’m assuming the submitter means they checked the list of blocks on their instance’s website.
And then you replied that you fixed it. How is this possible?
I mistakenly understood this as the filter issue. Reopened.

That issue hasn’t been fixed yet but it’s been logged so will be looked at:

Ugh, this update is so good. This app is so good. Even if Lemmy continues to lose users and content, I love opening this app because of how good it feels to navigate through it.
It’s not the user loss that is the concern, it’s the actual contributors that matter the most. As long as they stick around, it’s all good.
So don’t stop contributing folks!

I’m going to keep building it with the faith that this is going somewhere. It’s been really fun working on this.
Lots of refactoring + fixes this release.
I’ve been working hard on localising the app in Spanish + German but that just missed this release, hoping to get that in the next release for sure.
Again beta 50 to 91 mainly due to lots and lots of internal releases!
Cheers, Lj
that’s awesome, but what’s the eta for the next public release?
I haven’t even started on it yet lol
Again beta 50 to 91 mainly due to lots and lots of internal releases!
I thought I was going crazy, how could I miss so many versions lol.
I have no update version yet showing in the PlayStore… so I guess it is a matter of time?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same here, I don’t have the update available yet. I just assume it’s still making its way through the tubes.
Hopefully it won’t take long, this app keeps showing how premium the Lemmy experience can be on mobile 🤘🏻
Sadly, the app crashes for me 1–2 seconds after opening it. I’m no longer able to use it. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3
Submitted a fix to Google, should be live soon.
Thanks! Updated and working now.
You are awesome! It’s crazy to have such a great app for something like lemmy, really not something you expect or at all take for granted. It’s so cool that you managed to keep it so similar to the reddit version, it’s very nice to feel at home with it after using it for reddit for years.

Is there a fix planned for the old sorting for comments not working on some/all Lemmy instances ? Or is entirely a Lemmy issue
On posts or user profiles?
On posts
Does it work if you try on this post?
No there is a 403 error
Looks like that for some reason Lemmy world does not allow to sort by old on comments
Odd, I was able to. I’m not on Lemmy world but the post is.
Added “overview” as a new default section for profiles
This is great and long awaited, however it also means months of muscle memory down the drain again 😂

Anyone else having issues with redgifs
…issues?
I think I found the problem. If it’s a jpg on redgifs it doesn’t know what to do with it, it’s expecting a video.
Got a link?
NSFW? This is LJs job. He’s done for.

Just noticed a glitch with spoilers I think
If you use the spoiler tag on a comment and then click on the spoiler to un-hide it, clicking edit will remove the spoiler tag code for the stuff that was originally marked. The " >! ! < " disappears in the editing page is what I mean.
But if you never un-hide it, you can click edit on your comment and it will show the ">! !< " still there.
