kbin.social is also showing 404 for me at /sub. https://kbin.social/*/sub still seems to be working though.

Hello, thanks for reaching out. I wondered if the federation issue we've had was actually just a kbin issue, but it's a lot easier to see incoming messages than outgoing, and I just assumed it was feddit.de's fault when I saw all the spam. Unfortunately, I'm guessing I won't be able to do much to fix this since I'm not a kbin (or php) developer, and Ernest doesn't seem to be actively developing anything (including bug fixes) for kbin right now. I'll message you on Matrix for more details, just in case.

Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to fix this. Interstellar supports the kbin API, but your kbin server has not enabled the kbin API on their end. So you'll need to contact kbin.social's admin to see if they can enable support.

Thanks :)

Thanks, I actually did mention that at the bottom of the post, but I probably should have made it more obvious.

Thanks for the kind words.

The top and bottom toolbars are taking a lot of screen space, even though I am using a huge phone. Can you consider changing some buttons into menus, or shrinking the size of the buttons?

Just to clarify, you mean the sections with the sub, mod, fav, and all tabs on the top, and the feed, explore, profile, and settings buttons on the bottom? I've already thought about how to make the top portion customizable, so hiding the sub, mod, fav, and all tabs could be an option to put in the settings. As for the bottom portion, I feel that it's necessary to keep, especially considering many mobile apps have their global navigation in the same spot. It is possible, though, that we could make it so it hides on scroll, or maybe have a button that toggles its visibility.

Can you provide an option for showing the instances of posts and users?

You can already see the instance of a user or magazine. If you click the little "@" button next to a user or magazine name, it will display the host (the button's not there, the user or magazine is on the same instance as you). Additionally, if you actually click on the user or magazine name (not the "@" button), it will pull up a detailed user/magazine profile, of which, near the top, is listed the full user/magazine reference name (with the instance), like https://lemmy.world/c/fediverse or @randomusername. If you meant always show the instance of a user/magazine (instead of replacing it with an "@" button), I've also thought of adding that as an option in the settings.

Can you provide an option to disable swipe left/right gestures?

If you're referring to the swipe gestures on the screens with tabs, that actually comes by default with the framework, but I can see if there's an easy way to disable it.

Thanks for the feedback; I'll see what I can do.

All of these (except tab swipe disable) are now options in the latest update! Let me know if you'd like anything else added.

Also this comment will be reported as well.

I literally just finished doing the same thing for my own foss app (and I also used Flutter). Right now I'm waiting for my production review. To get people added to your closed test, you have to either collect a list of email address, or create a google group they can join. If you use a google group, that will be a bit easier for testers to join since people can click the group link, and then the test link, instead of waiting for you to add their email.

If you can't initially get all the testers you need, I would recommend making a post on the AndroidClosedTesting reddit; I found them really helpful to get the last few testers I needed.

The server upgrade is complete, with only 20 minutes of downtime! Hopefully, now we won't experience resource issues any time soon.

Looks interesting. Would kbin support be added at some point?
