Big: make the app handle links pointing to popular instances. For example, the apps Jerboa and Summit can be registered as handlers for the URLs of many instances.
I've noticed that when someone posts a link to a community (e.g. boardgames@feddit.de) it tries to take me to a user instead of a community, telling me that the user can't be found.
Have just installed it and so far I really like it. I set a screen name on my account but in Connect the account name is still showing instead. It's not a huge priority but it would be good to see screen names implemented at some point.
Does Connect only display 10 communities under “subscribed” in the left-hand menu? There are a LOT of subscribed communities missing from mine. (Also, I believe that only communities from my home instance are showing up, but not 100% sure of that.
Does Connect understand subscriptions to Kbin magazines that one subscribes to thru Lemmy? I don’t think it recognizes my Kbin magazine subs, but I may be wrong.
Either way, this strikes me as an improvement over Jerboa, so I will be using it. Thanks for your hard work on this!
Currently it’s 10 (just the default limit on the API call I was making), the next release will fix that (pagination and caching the list)
As long as the instance you’re using returns Kbin magazines when I query the subscribed communities it should work. I’m not sure how closely linked they are.
Right on, all of that makes sense. The issue with #2 is that when I went to Kbin mags via Lemmy, the upper-right menu continued to give a “Subscribe” option (instead of “Unsubscribe” for my subbed Lemmy communities). But I think that might have happened when I’d visit some Lemmy subs as well. Either way, it’s early days, and this is a great new Fediverse app that I plan to use a ton. Thanks again!
