Mastodawn

Here's an audio test for those who want to see (and hear?) the new player.

@ivory perfect 👌

@ivory seems Ivory does not work well with #snac2
At least not when I used #snac2

@fd0 How long ago was this? No idea if it's any better, but it does work well with most ActivityPub services that align well with Mastodon. We've heard it works pretty well with GotoSocial, Misskey, and Pleroma. Officially, we only support Mastodon. It would be a daunting task to support others too.

@ivory That was until say 2 months ago. I moved to a Mastodon instance. Will try later again on my own #snac2 instance, which is still there

@fd0 Ah ok. well it wouldn't have improved in the past 2 months. We made big changes a year or 2 ago that greatly improved support for a lot of ActivityPub services that worked very similarly to Mastodon.

It completely locks up my app when I click it!

@lunchb0x_b What app and version number?

I’ve updated to the latest.

@lunchb0x_b 2.5? Try restarting the app and trying again?

I had no choice but to do that like five times because the app kept freezing. I’m lucky it even let me click on the comment icon. Even swiping to open the post froze it up.

@lunchb0x_b Can you try restarting your device? You are the first to report this issue and it sounds very weird. Is it only happening with that audio post?

Yeah, that’s all I’ve noticed so far. I’ll restart my phone and report back.

That fixed it! Thank you!

@lunchb0x_b So weird! But glad it was resolved. Must have been some system audio issue going on.

I’m still having issues with pics and videos not always loading though. Even my own do it, so it’s not a server issue.

@lunchb0x_b When you noticed that happening, we recommend checking your instance website at that time to see if the experience is similar. Next step would be to try the official Mastodon app or IceCubes to see if it's happening there. There's really no issues with loading media in Ivory (at least not at this time). If it was an issue in the code, we'd get many reports about it. It's usually something else going on. But we are always happy to try and help troubleshoot the issue as best as we can.

@ivory @lunchb0x_b I had some freezing after upgrading before trying audio, only trying disabling swipe gestures. Did a hard restart of the app and so far so good. Will report if not.

Ivory for iOS, version 2.5.

@ivory
**awesome**

@ivory This is a very nice update!

Though I want to mention a new issue I encountered: I can no longer perform a swipe from the leftmost edge of my screen to exit the post I’m currently viewing _IF_ I’m looking at its replies.

With this update, this now triggers a right swipe all the time (first the short type and then the long type).

@AltCode are you running 26.4?

@ivory nope, I’m on iOS 18.7

@AltCode ok weird. Someone else reported this, but can’t replicated it at all here. Will keep investigating.

Starxxon 15h ago

@ivory @AltCode I had to disable gestures to be able to swipe to go back. (I don't need them anyway).

But now there's a bug: if I accidentally swipe on a toot from the left on the main timeline (which does nothing as expected), when I tap the toot after it becomes gray and the whole app freezes. I'm on iOS 26.3 (iPhone 15 pro).

eurozerozero 14h ago

@ivory @Altcode I’m also on iOS 18.7 and having the same problem. Swiping to go back instead triggers the defined left-to-right swipe gesture (in my case Translate).

It doesn’t happen on the post I’m viewing the details of, but it happens on all other replies in the thread (earlier replies too).

Edit: and here’s a screen recording of it: (if I hold my finger on the edge of the screen for a moment before swiping - and not long enough to trigger a long press - I can get it to swipe back)

@eurozerozero we will work on fixing this. 🙂 can temporarily disable those specific gestures.

@AltCode Can you try restarting your device and then trying the same thing again? Any special system accessibility options turned on?

@ivory No, I don’t have accessibility options enabled. I’ll try restarting my device and let you know if that helps

@ivory No luck after a restart 😔

@AltCode okay. Do you have a thick case on your phone? Does it work better if you intentionally start the side from the very edge? Still hard to determine why this is happening. A temporary solution is to disable those gestures in the settings. We will continue to collect more data on this from more users.

Alex Ball 19h ago

@ivory thick case here, observing the same behaviour. If I’m careful, I can get the swipe-to-go-back to work from anywhere on the left edge of a post; otherwise, right at the boundary between two posts works with less care. It feels like the target area is a tad too small to start a go-back gesture.

@ivory I have a slim case.

> Does it work better if you intentionally start the slide from the very edge?

That’s actually how I normally I do it, and where I’m struggling most to get it to work.

After a few hours of trying though, I did eventually manage to do it again. I’ve attached a screenshot of where I feel like it works.

I will also add that I’m somehow having more luck getting it to work if I perform the swipe with my left thumb (I normally use my right thumb).

17h ago

@AltCode Seems like a bit of an edge case (no pun intended), as we've only received a couple reports of this so far, but definitely see this as a potential issue and will be looking into what we can do to improve this (as well as collect a bit more user data). Appreciate the details! 🙂

Misty 15h ago

@ivory @AltCode I was about to report the same issue (also on iOS 18.7); glad to see it’s on your radar! Let me know if I can provide any other info.

Garrett 10h ago

@ivory @AltCode I came here to see if anyone already reported this. I'm experiencing the same issue, 26.4 and no case on my iPhone Air.

Brendon Justin 3h ago

@[email protected] submitted a TestFlight report about this issue just yesterday too. I am on 26.4 I think. I ended up turning off the left swipe gestures and the issue went away. Now I just have a short- and a long-swipe right (from the right to the left) action.
