Hey, thanks for mentioning this - I commented on a different post regarding cross-posts implementation that might be relevant: https://lemmy.world/comment/12719015

Thanks for the feature request - as others have mentioned, a workaround for this is to use your OS to limit app usage if your OS supports this. Also, it would be helpful if you could create a new feature request on GitHub so that we can track this easier. Thanks!

Just wanted to chime in here! I think the implementation of cross-posts is up for interpretation (and can definitely be changed if one is preferred over the other). Generally speaking, there are two types of implementations:

Cross-posts only copy over the title and link of the original post

• This is what Thunder currently does, unless it’s a text-only post (in which case, it copies over the text content of the original post since that’s the only relevant part of the post)
• The idea here is that we typically want to change the contents of the cross-post to be relevant to the community that we post to.

Cross-posts copy all content of the original post (title, link, body)

• This is what Lemmy UI does, but it injects “crossposted from” into the body of the post
• This can be useful if you want to post the same post across multiple-communities with the same body

From this discussion, I do think that it could be valuable to add an easier way to inject the original body of a post into a cross-post. If you would like this to be a feature, please create a new feature request on GitHub!

A side note on cross-posts:

I believe that Lemmy considers any posts with the same link as a cross-post. There’s no distinction (from the API) on which post was the “original” post, or whether a post was crossposted “from a community” vs “to a community”. This is also the reason why there is additional metadata for each “cross-post” in Thunder. The additional metadata allows you to figure out when a given post was created to find the “original” post.

If you’re curious about specific implementation detail, @micahmo@programming.dev might be able to answer them!

Thanks for the report, this is definitely a weird one. I’ve created a PR with a fix for this issue here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1572!

For some additional context: Thunder automatically performs encoding on URLs. However, in this specific scenario, the URL was partially encoded (the brackets were encoded, but the non-ASCII characters were left behind). This partial encoding caused Thunder to incorrectly encode the already encoded brackets (%28 and %29)

Hey! Sorry for the delay in response. It would be helpful if you could create a new GitHub issue on this so that we can track it better.

This happens since about three or four Thunder updates have passed. Before that it worked fine.

Have you tried clearing app data/cache for Thunder? That might help “reset” things and might resolve the issues you’re facing.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the delay in response.

Unfortunately, its quite difficult to implement local-only notifications because of how restricitve Android is with regards to background tasks. The notifications feature is heavily dependent on the specific OS version that you have (different manufacturers do different things to help with power saving, but as a result, breaks/restricts background tasks from running)

The only thing I can suggest is to turn off battery optimizations for Thunder. After that, disable and re-enable notifications in the settings. If you go to Settings -> Debug, you should also see an option to test out notifications to see if Thunder can trigger them.

If none of that works, please let me know (ideally on Matrix) and I can help troubleshoot further!

Thank you for the kind words!

That’s interesting - could you submit a new issue on GitHub for this? Thanks!

Thanks for mentioning this, there will be a fix out for this shortly! This is the related PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1536

Just circling back to this - there was a potential fix for this issue in this PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1524

This potential fix was released in v0.5.0 of Thunder. If possible, please let me know if you’re still encountering this issue on the latest version. Thanks!

I know this was posted a while ago, but I do have an update on this issue. This bug was only affecting instances running on 0.19.4 and higher that had image proxying enabled (e.g., lemm.ee)

Fortunately, this issue should now be resolved with v0.5.0 of Thunder! If you’re interested in the details, check out the following GitHub discussion: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1448

Just providing a quick update on this - v0.5.0 fixes one of the two issues mentioned in the markdown report (table alignment not being respected)

The other markdown issue is not yet released, but should be fairly easy to fix! (just need to take some time to make sure the fix doesn’t break anything else). If all looks good there, then this fix will be released as part of a nightly build soon!

Thanks for the instructions. I’ve updated my information on GitHub to now include Monero as a viable option for those who would prefer that.

Though it still lacks the mod actions

Are you referring to mod actions for comments? If so, that is something I’ll be working on next!

and reports don’t have the name of the reporter.

For this, it would be good if you could submit a new feature request on GitHub to make it easier to track.

Thanks! I haven’t yet received requests to accept Monero for donations. If its a relatively straight-forward process, I can definitely add that as an option.

Thanks! The default sort type options should now be located in Settings -> Account, since it syncs up with your Lemmy account.

As always, please mention if you encounter any issues when updating to this version as there have been a lot of under-the-hood changes. Thanks!

Just wanted to chime in here - I also think having a chat-style widget would also be best for private messages but would be difficult to implement without some workarounds (mainly due to the limitations of the API as you mentioned)!

But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages

From what I can see in the API, there is a creatorId field that can be specified to grab chats for a given user. This could potentially work by passing in your own account id to retrieve your sent messages (although, this would likely return back your sent messages aggregated across all users so it wouldn’t be ideal)

It would be a bit of a hack but we could call that API endpoint, and cache the results locally to be used in chats. This adds a layer of complexity since we would need to consider how to keep messages synced up (e.g., if a user edits a message elsewhere, it should be reflected here). There also doesn’t seem to be a way to get a specific private message by id, so that also complicates the issue further 😅

Hey there! As others have mentioned, there is currently no way to reply to private messages in Thunder. However, I have heard this feature request a few times, so I’ll try to increase its priority.

My priorities at this time is to add in additional comment moderator actions, so this will likely have to come after that is implemented. Hope that helps clear things up!

Thanks for cross-posting this here! It’s nice to see how the Markdown implementation compares against other apps. I’ll definitely use this as a reference for checking Markdown compatibility in the future!
