Just discovered the Lemmur app and at first glance, looks very promising. Opening up the app, nothing loads. Ok, maybe i need to log in. Tried in log into my account under lemmy.ml and it just spins

Headed over to their github page, and its been over a year since the last release, v0.8.0 that supports v0.15.0. Seeing that most, if not all, instances are pass this version, is there any plans on updating this app?

When I click on an instance, it never loads. It just keeps buffering. Is this happening with anyone else?

In GitHub repository last commit is from August, last release is 0.8.0, but in Google Play and F-Droid, new version is available to download, but with integrated browser issue. I can't fix this issue by myself and also, old version 0.8.0 from January is outdated and I cannot login to my account. Isn't lemmur open source no more?

The app was recently updated in F-droid!

Neither of the devs have commented in months and no updates in the github for a while either. Has it been abandoned?

It's just me?

I am surprised that this issue exists at all - but can it really be that with Lemmy it is not possible to search or join communities from other instances except for lemmy.ml!? I'd like to enter something like [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])

Hi, I noticed that the TestFlight link in the sidebar is not accepting new testers. Is it possible to become a tester still? I will provide feedback and report bugs if desired.

As the title says, is it possible to choose to open the Lemmy links (for example https://lemmy.ml/postXYZ) directly in the Lemmur app instead of in browser?

Pressing the 'home/house' button should go scroll back to the top. If one scrolls down a long way it one needs to scroll back to the top manually, which is just a waste of time. Instead one could douple tab the home button.

I tried to log in on the Lemmur app, but it just wouldn't proceed (infinite loading). Lately I had similar problem with the Element app - when I joined some groups it just endlessly loaded and wouldn't join them unless I restarted the app

Does anyone know how to fix it?

This release includes support for lemmy v0.15.0 and lemmur is finally translation-ready!

Lemmy devs are kindly hosting lemmur translation strings on their Weblate instance. Feel free to contribute strings there, we regularly sync string changes with Weblate.

We wanted to make sure that all the efforts that went into translating Lemmy do not go to waste and thus we ported to our Weblate as many translations as we could (~130 strings).

We use flutter's native file format for translations: ARB, which itself uses the ICU message syntax. In most cases you will be able to deduce the syntax based on the source string. Here are 3 important examples:

1. Placeholders

Hello there {name}! - placeholders are put in a pair of braces, it will be later replaced with an appropriate value.

2. Plurals

You have {amount} new {amount, plural, =0{messages} =1{message} =2{messages} few{messages} many{messages} other{message}} - plurals are checked against their quantifier and provide 6 possible forms to choose from. In English this example does not make much sense, since we could just provide the =1{message} and other{messages} case. other case always has to be specified, it acts as a fallback.

3. Selects

I will take a {distance_name, select, close{bus} far{train} veryFar{plane}}. - selects allow for arbitrary matching against some predefined cases. All cases should be the same as in the source string.

Is there any way to do so ? If not, do you think it could be a good feature ? Would it be difficult to implement ?

I think it could be great to avoid bringing up something that was already discussed, and if so, help to find and participate in the discussion around that aspect of the topic !

make custom font option and more themes

I am not sure this is the best place for a feature request but a discussion before the actual feature request is most welcome.

On mobile, lemmure has a card display design. This is nice to show images and other details. However, some people like me want a compact mode a bit like redreader for reddit. Short strips or list of posts and we gat the full detail when we click on the post.

This is useful to see more content on screen at once while allowing some quick gestures like swipe left or right to upvode or downvote.

I just discovered lemmy and created an account on the web (because lemmur send me there). I can obviously login to lemmy.ml but not on lemmur. Is that a bug?

Edit: My account is appearantly "Mordor" and not "mordor" - even though I signed up as "mordor". Web client handles this but not lemmy.

Whenever I open lemmur since android 12 it notifies me that lemmur pasted from my clipboard without my express permission. That is sketchy. Idk how I feel about using this with that in mind.

Thanks for lemmur deves for making such an awesome app for Lemmy on android. I am grateful of you for this and more.

The story:

here I am scrolling this awesome app foss and fedi. Then I realize that I might have some replies, messages, or some Lemmy in app notification yet my natural instinct is to look at the bell icon for some sign of change. Am I conditioned in weird way to expect this "feature".

The request:

kindly add some icon change signal to softly alert the app user that they have a notification in waiting.

P.s. : I mute system notification for reasons and peace of mind. I don't mind alerts when I am using the app coz the app has my full attention.

I've copied my password from bitwarden, I can log in with it on a browser, but the lemmur app just keeps telling my my password is incorrect

I'm using android 11

• Fixed a bug where making a comment selectable would not always result in making the comment selectable
• Full post will now open no matter where you press on the post card
• Fixed overflows in various places
