When scrolling through the feed it randomly happens to skip a bunch of entries. It suddenly jumps far down the feed for no apparent reason.

Some observations and possible cause thoughts:

• I believe it skips one load batch (20) of entries.
• Scrolling up those entries gets me back to where I was in the feed.
• I think it happens when the last entry of a previous load batch expands an attached media item.
• It's more apparent in media heavy feeds.
• It's independent of the scroll speed.

1.4.28

This release brings a few bugfixes and several quality of life improvements. Also, mods are now able to see the votes on submissions to their communities (if their instance is on 0.19.4 or above).

Bugfixes

• [Bug/Annoyance] When highlighting text in the markdown editor and using the toolbar buttons (e.g. highlight a word and click "bold"), the text area would annoyingly scroll to the bottom. No longer does it do that.
• [Bug] Default moderation template had a missing piece (community) and didn't really make sense.
• [Bug] Don't poll notifications from Notification system time handler if no active profile. The poll function didn't actually run, but no reason to call it if no profile
• [Bug] Usernames in direct message headers was improperly truncating

Minor Changes

• [Settings] Moved inbox/notification related settings to new section in /settings page.
• [Notifications] Notification poll interval is now configurable
• [Infrastructure] Removed unused settings key for notificaiton rate
• [Infrastructure] Can now specify section URL param on /settings page to open the specific panel (useful for linking to a settings section; yet to be implemented elsewhere)
• [Direct Messages] Updated the message header to be more email-like

Vote Viewer Now Available to Mods

If connected to an instance running API 0.19.4 or higher, the vote viewer is now available to mods for items in their communities. I had always planned for it to be, but I wasn't aware that had been implemented in the API already. Apparently it's been available to mods at the API-level since 0.19.4 (thanks @[email protected] for pointing that out).

For those unaware, the vote viewer is accessible from the Moderation Modal -> View Votes... button.

Posts

All User Defined Invidious/Piped Instances Available

The link menu / alternate source selector for YouTube-like videos now lists all user-defined Piped/Invidious instances instead of a single, static link to the currently-selected instance.

Community Profile Modals

Post Drafts Less Likely to be Accidentally Lost

When creating a post in the community profile modal, the "Return to Home" back arrow will now prompt you for confirmation if there is anything in the post form. Helps prevent accidental loss of post draft via mis-click.

Upload Cleanup

When clicking the "return to home" button from the "Create Post" panel, the resetForm function from the post form will be called which will take care of cleaning up any uploaded media that would otherwise be abandoned.

Markdown Editor

Added new buttons to the toolbar

• Insert User Link
• Insert Community Link
• Table
• Code Block
• Formatting Help

The "Insert User/Community Link" buttons will let you search for a user and/or community and insert links to them in the body at the current cursor position. The inserted links are in the @[email protected] / [email protected] format. Inline auto-complete is in the works but needs to bake a little longer.

The "Table" button will create a markdown table template.

The Code Block button is a menu which will let you select the lanaguage (or plaintext/other).

The Formatting Help button will load a modal with a markdown cheatsheet.

Toolbar Now Reflows

The markdown editor toolbar (with the formatting, emoji, image, etc) buttons will now reflow on mobile/small width screens rather than scroll horizontally.

Various Tweaks to Markdown Editor

1. Heading button is now a menu; can select headings 1 through 4
2. Fixed bug where highlighting text and using the toolbar buttons would always scroll it to the bottom
3. Numbered and bullet lists now give you three entries
4. On spoiler, code block, and lists, the cursor now goes to inside the block or in position for the first list item (respectively)
5. Highlighting text and clicking the "Link" button will now automatically put the text into the link label. For example, if you highlight the text "Home" and clicked link:

• Old behavior: Home -> [Label](url)Home
• New behavior: Home -> [Home](url) ---

This release brings bugfixes and a few small feature requests.

Bugfixes

• [Regression] The 'Filter Annoying CC Licenses on Comments' option wasn't working since the markdown pre-processor re-write.
• [Bug] Ensure post titles are not linkified. This includes both regular URLs in the title (typically flotsam from Mastodon) and unwanted mailto:[email protected] email links when the titles contain [email protected] or @[email protected].
• [Bug] Dynamically import separate CSS themes for HighlightJS depending on app theme. Makes code blocks easier to read since the default styling assumed light theme.
  • Known Quirk: Unfortunately, this is not reactive to changing the app theme without refreshing the page.

New Features

Misc

• Added "RemovePaywalls.com" as an option in the archive link selector

Inbox and Reports

Can now set an option to expand inbox and report items by default.

• Settings -> General -> Expand Inbox Items by Default
• Settings -> Moderation -> Expand Reports by Default

Can now configure how many inbox and report items are retrieved per page.

• Settings -> General -> Inbox Items Per Page
• Settings -> Moderation -> Report Items Per Page

Both have new sidebar buttons to expand/collapse all

Registration Applications

• Can now set an option to expand all registration applications by default. Settings -> Moderation -> Expand Applications by Default
• New sidebar button to expand/collapse all applications
