external browser issues

Youtube links refuse to open in external browser, they always open on YouTube app, even though that's turned off and the app Is set to use external browser. I want my ad blocking please.

Wide images in the post body cause the text to shift off screen

This post for example.

https://lemmy.ca/post/45288272

It is readable for a moment, but then the image slides to the left and the text slides with it, causing the first part of every line to be off screen and unreadable

Upvotes not showing in profile

When I use boost for lemmy my upvotes are not displayed correctly. In the last days I upvoted many posts, but only one is showing in the account -> upvoted tab. If I upvote a post, and scroll later back to them they are still upvoted even after restarting the app later, but the tab does not contain them. Waiting a day or anytime frame to give it time to sync does also nothing.What can I do to see my upvotes again?

When there's a comment tagging me it won't fire a notification in the "Mention" tab and comment won't appear in the main inbox tab at all

When someone makes a comment or post that has my username tagged in it, it'll show in the "Mentions" tab if I manually go to it, but will not fire a notification or even show a red dot unread counter on the tab.

Moreover, if it was a comment that would have ended up in my main inbox anyways (E.g. as a direct reply to my post or to a comment of mine) it won't show in the main inbox at all

I assume it might be intentional to not show messages in the main inbox if it's showing in the mention tab, but without the Mention tab firing notifications that's rather...problematic lol

app crashes every time I download an image

Phone: Pixel 7 Pro

Latest android

Latest app version

Ever since the latest update, whenever I open an image post and go to download the image, the app crashes. This only happens to images, videos do not crash.

I don't get a warning or anything, it just exits the post and resets back to the main page with the default view.

If it helps, I also use cards 2.0 as my view.

This happened after repeatedly testing in order to make a good report:

seeing an issue where links can take a really long time to open

Basically the title. I click a link and it takes forever to open. Doesn't matter the type of link. If I click a link multiple times then eventually N pages open all at once

Long usernames overlap with other UI elements

For example

https://lemmy.ca/comment/13566145

Since the fediverse doesn't have a distinct username length limit, it might help to put a max length and then ellipsis it

LongUsername@LongInstanceNam... 135 β‹… 2w β‹… (2w)

Fixing post/comment rendering issues in Boost for Lemmy

A user did a test of all the Lemmy apps and frontends, and created a list of issues for each of the apps. The full post is here, which has information on expected behaviour and what is missing:

Can't download gifs/videos anymore

For a week or so I haven't been able to download videos, neither gifs nor webp (haven't tested other formats yet).

Pressing the download button only grabs one still frame.

If I open it in browser I can download fine. This also worked a couple of weeks ago.

Edit: The video in this post of a cat exploring a tube gets saved like this first frame photo of the lighting through the tube.

Clicking replies from your inbox that lead to a deep comment thread break the context lines

This occurred after clicking a reply I received from the inbox tab and clicking the "1 more reply" button.

This doesn't seem to occur with a direct link, but nonetheless this comment can be found at: https://aussie.zone/comment/9118680

Screen recording:

NB: Lemmy.world is having ongoing federation delays (and has been for several months). Neither upvotes or replies from lemmy.world are being received by my instance for around 1-2 weeks. I promise I'm not just ignoring any responses

Does anyone else have problems with .mp4 videos?

Boost fails to open .mp4 for me. When I browse "All" there usually is some mp4 content, especially from ... well ... nsfw instances. Theese almost always fail and I see just black screen. Firefox on mobile opens it without a problem and so does Sync For Lemmy. Do you have this issue or is it just me? F.e. can you open this link?

I see this:

I don't know if this is caused by instance or by Boost but as I said, Sync doesn't have this problem. And I like Boost more

Clicking a link to a lemmy community on a card doesn't work

When someone links to a community if you open the post and then follow the link it works fine. If you're browsing with cards and try to follow the link from the card without opening the actual post it attempts to open the link in a browser which fails because the link is not the full URL. It would be nice if clicking the link would take me to that community on that instance, which is what it does when you open the post and click the link

"Show x more replies" while viewing a comment with parent comments hidden displays additional replies with full context markers (see photo)

I couldn't find a great way to describe what I'm seeing. But if you're deep in a comment thread, or viewing a reply to your comment, and have parent comments collapsed, if there are additional comments, choosing to show them adds the number of context indicators (the little lines on the left) that it would have were the parents not hidden.

The comment from FlyingSquid was the comment hidden by "show 1 more reply".

Hey,

I realised that I am not seeing any new saved posts/comments for feddit.de and a random list of comments I didn't acutally save for my lemmy.world account.

It works fine on the web interfaces.

Comment number doesn't show on collapsed last comment

Until I trigger the collapse mechanism, the last comment in a post doesn't have the number of subcomments when it hides subcomments by default. See the below pictures for an example with a specific post, but I've noticed this on every post I've seen recently.

If I reload by pulling down, it again hides the comment number.

Without the comment number after loading the post:
