And when I'm trying to zoom an image to look at details, this: the alt text pops up every 2 seconds, removing the zoom and hiding the image.

Maybe a swipe up or a click to display would be better.
Also, it's interesting how Twitter chose to make alt text displayable in timeline only (with the Alt icon) and not once the media open.
geekdolanHaving to load more every minute or so when reading several hours. Betting able to keep my place and load 6+ hours of toots at a time would hugely improve my use.

Just spotted it. Installed now for first time on android tablet. Could use width of the screen more effectively, I think.

Akeel Sabir@apps that you're not increasing the font size limit of 180 to a higher value. For someone with a low vision it's really hard to use the app. Sadly you're also not responding to this issue. I paid for the app, so i'd also like to use the app. So I hope you guys will now respond and help. I know for someone with a normal vision it looks like it's more than big enough but it isn't

Screen reader and accessibility issues. I'm personally happy with Fedilab, but can't recommend it because of that.

@RonniesaurusHex @apps exactly that. I have a low vision and already tried to get support regarding this. But it hasn't been fixed in all the updates in the past

It doesn't show me messages from my pixelfed.de account.
I am missing one timeline for all my accounts which I was used to from another program.

Cache handling. I either can clear all cache manually or have it cleared automatically at closing the app. Both options leave me with an empty cache. Would wish for a way to set limits, either Megabytes or, even better, number of posts to keep in cache.

The app keeps 7 days, we will build that feature to customize.

Did not know about the 7 days, thought it's forever or until being cleared.

Nothing is frustrating at the moment. But it would be really nice to have a reverse timeline, like I had in Plume, before Twitter killed it today.

Image manipulation and not having custom tabs for external links, I don't like getting out of the app when I click an article

@tallship Fixed. Sorry for the delay.
burndive@apps Video content takes extra time and steps to load, and it takes over the whole screen. The controls for video end up in the same place as my Android navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Don't get me wrong: I do NOT want auto-playing video, but I do wish it was a smoother, more integrated experience.

@apps How bad images behave when I try to zoom on them, by reverse pinching, and try to move them around. As soon as they hit the screen edge, they restore to their original size.
Mirko
moved to another castle
Tom@pablomoco Yeah, this! I've never seen zooming behavior like in Fedilab. After zooming, I should be able to pan around by dragging a finger around. Instead, I have to zoom out and back in somewhere else.

They used to flip upside down on zooming - that bug existed for many years until about 2021!

Have you an example of a toot not opening in the app? They must follow standard with @ for working.
What do you mean by parsing link previews?

Mark W. Gabby-Li π@apps Media viewers need some polish.
The video player doesn't show the playback time bar for long enough to actually do anything with it. I'd rather it just be a toggle on/off when you touch. Right now it appears for about half a second and goes away.
Also, it is very hard to pinch zoom images, they will normally just move around when you try to zoom.

focus point doesn't work.
it works as long as we stay on fedilab, but the image does not look the same on the website or on other applications.

Picture handling. When I zoom in and then pan around, it often zooms back out. Very frustrating.

That a like is not displayed immediately, especially with unstable internet connection. I often click multiple times, because of my assumption, that I must have missed the button. Afterwards the like button pressed state is sometimes correct, sometimes it's not.

This would be very nice if the app can load the next page of toot before I reach the last message in the timeline and have to wait the server response.

oh i thought of another couple things:
- I'd really love to have mastodon links in other apps open in fedilab! I realize that could be technically difficult, but if there's a way to do it I'd appreciate it a whole lot
- I wish I could have "search" not default to tags unless I use #. accounts is much more helpful as a default, and then search for message if it's a message link?

Only thing on my wish list is setting different themes for my two different accounts on here. Just as a clearer indication of who I am tooting as.

bgt lover@apps with the talkback screenreader, all the actions one can take on a particular item, in stead of having a popup on long press, or even actually use the accessibility actions API, to add contextual menus which can be accessed by talkback and other android screenreaders. While the way it is now might be easier to develop, this way of navigating is very inefficient, since one has to swipe three or more times just to get from the current message to the next, because one has to go over the action buttons one doesn't usually need to press most of the time.
Der Marek@apps Posts shown out of thread context. #Friendica user

@apps I want to have the timeline to always and directly show full context of a thread. I really don't like the Twitter / Mastodon Style to read text from unknown users and not knowing the context until I click on the message.
In fact I am not using fedilab for this particular reason even if very much appreciate the app and your efforts <3

Marek Bachmann@apps @marek Don't get me wrong there: It is not about seeing EVERYthing in the Thread (which is in fact not that simple) but to see the thread from my instance's perspective.
In other words: I just do not want to click on the message to see to whom it was a reply, but I want to see it root post directly with the reply beneath. :-)

@apps @marek Here, let me show you what I mean:
This is an exampled of a post what I call "text from unknown users and not knowing the context"
When I click on the message, things start to make sense:
Now I see that this person just replied to that root post, and then AND ONLY THEN, the message makes sense to me. :-)

Yes, it could be done when api will return a "in_reply_message" (object) instead of a "in_reply_id" (String).

Yes, but as I said, it's a limitation of the API.
The api only returns the reply id and not the reply object.
Such feature cannot be built as for each reply message, the app will have to fetch the message and display it. That would create excessive amount of calls with also jumps when inserted asynchronously.

@apps @marek Okay, thank you for clarification. I will point @developers to this discussion:

Perhaps we can work out a solution eventually.
All the best

Sure, if Friendica implements such feature, it will be implemented immediately with Fedilab.
