What features did you miss the most when you switched from #Fedilab 2 to 3?
You can also talk about improvements 😀

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •Thanks.
As for downloading media, any downloaded media can be opened through the notification, but not through the gallery or any other application. Clicking through the notification, and then clicking share, produces a toast that says "Unsupported file"
For each file, this fixes itself a few minutes after the file is downloaded. From the limited research I did, it looks like there is a separate call that tells Android to scan the specific file path for media.
Otherwise, it's necessary to wait the few minutes, or use an app like play.google.com/store/apps/det…

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •not sure if it has been fixed/added yet (3.2 is not available yet for me on F-Droid), but what I miss the most is inline links, such as the 'on F-Droid' one earlier, working properly. 😀
I also miss a compact timeline option; at least I think I recall there being an option before that would spread the messages out over the entire width, rather than align it to the right of the posters' avatars.
Lacking media descriptions has been made a lot clearer though, which I like. 😀
The split in top and bottom bar in theory is a nice one, but I'm not quite sure I will ever get used to it. 😀

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •I miss that I can not arrange the timelines like I want anymore, because other instances timeliness are now separated.
I can't add Pixelfed.de account, because it results in error page of invalid login page after entering account details.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •BTW I still have the timeline bug, where I need to scroll through already read toots each time. I thought it was an issue on my end, but I switched phone, Android version and even OS but the bug remains the same. It works on 2.39.0

I miss:
- cross-account new toot botton
- export/import logged account
Also, you should suggest to disable battery optimization on Fedilab and ntfy for notifications to work on f-droid version, imho

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •I just tried this out, and it works! 😀
One issue I noticed with it is that I can't see the relative time of a post, so instead of showing me this post was published 4h ago it shows me the exact date and time. Relative time is important for me so I hope this can be fixed. The post privacy indicator also moves to the bottom, and posts take up more vertical space, but these are small issues. Despite these little things here and there, it overall works pretty great 🙂

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •i really like the new layout especially the "thread lines" on the left!
missing the old media handling:
cycling through 3 zoom levels via double tapping.
seeing only the media under an users media tab.
suggestion:
some simple "go to top" button to skip to the top of the timeline.

in reply to Fedilab Apps • • •Missing the things which are the only thing I use Fedilab for (so I’m still using the old version):
* ability to open links to Fediverse posts/accounts from other apps in Fedilab
* opening posts/accounts in a webbrowser inside Fedilab (so I can look at and load in missing posts without needing to have an external browser configured for that)
