adjustable text size is coming in a future release. The comment sort selector is in the top-right of the comments screen. Also, per the post (and the release notes), messages and profile pages are not included in this release.

please keep in mind that this is an early beta and, as such, is not feature-complete.

'Systemic problems' at Minneapolis Police Dept. led to George Floyd's murder, Justice Department says (amp.cnn.com)

“MPD officers frequently use indiscriminate force, failing to distinguish between peaceful protesters and those committing crimes,” the report says. “For example, MPD officers regularly use 40 mm launchers – firearms that shoot impact projectiles, like rubber bullets – against protesters who are committing no crime or...

"Still, since the spring of 2020, hundreds of MPD officers have left the force, and the morale of the remaining officers is low," the report stated. "Policing, by its nature, can take a toll on the psychological and emotional health of officers, and the challenges of the last few years have only exacerbated that toll for some MPD officers."

Translation: “Being not-racist hurts cops’ fee fees, and many quit over fears that they might be held accountable for murdering black people, so, uh, we’re gonna keep doing that.“

How much of an impact is the protest really having on Reddit?

I read The Verge's latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don't really care and will probably just use the official app or don't really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be...

An impact? Huge. Will it actually change their minds? No.

But their reputation is damaged forever, and that matters to a lot of people.

Ooo, putting macOS and fedora anywhere near each other is bound to rustle some jimmies, lol

This app is much more stable and addresses several issues which caused a majority of crashes.

Sorry, kids! We’ve hit our 10k limit!

To be specific, that’s 20 new contributors. 7 or 8 are graphic and UX designers, and the rest are devs.

Yes and no. In this case, the delay is because we updated the version number (0.0.6 —> 0.0.7) instead of simply the build number (which we also bumped to 23). This is what triggered the review. Hopefully it will be a short process!

BrooklynMan,

This. Sorry for the unexpected delay!

BrooklynMan,
@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml avatar

yeah, we wanted to implement at least some of it in this update, but it wasn't ready yet. soon1

Our goal is to hit 1.0 by July 1 🤞

yeah, some lemmy instances are slammed and throwing SSL authentication errors, and this is the response. we're already working on creating more robust error handling and changing the UX for those errors. it's very annoying, but we can't control the lemmy instances and whether they're up or down. what we can control is how the app reacts when it experiences an error, so we're working on making it less annoying!

sorry (not sorry) that our test group maxed out so fast!

might be nice to have at some point is a search feature, or a way to quickly access communities that you follow

in the feed view, tap the top bar(where it says "subscribed/all/hot/etc")

it's a bit rudimentary now, but we're working on improving it!

this issue is being tracked. we're not sure what's causing it yet. thanks!

I sanitized all of my comments before I deleted them. They’re welcome to bring them back. it’s all just a protest message anyway. But for those who didn’t, this is really shitty.

@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml avatar

no profile to check-- i also deleted my account. but, like I said: I sanitized all of my comments first.

BrooklynMan,
@BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml avatar

they don't retain comment edit history. they literally don't possess this capability-- it's a GDPR requirement.

it's possible that some of your comments were missed when you tried to sanitize them. i ran into this issue myself and had to re-run the sanitization script a few times to get all of my comments.

Thank you for the reply! We'll make note of and monitor the post you linked. Also, we're glad you like the app!

this is now a known issue we're tracking and trying to identify. thanks!
