Most of my time last update was spent on push notifications, takes a while to set up a dedicated server, APNS integration and all that stuff. With holidays and other work on my plate I havent had the time to work on Avelon all that much. Apollo was a full time project years in the making, hopefully Lemmy will grow to eventually support that kind of full time work
I’ve been through every setting page, triple checked I’m on the latest version, force closed the app, and restarted my phone but it seems like this has disappeared?...
It’s not shown unless you’ve enabled NSFW on your Lemmy account, and it acts as an app-only override in that case. Did it this way due to Apple guidelines which require you to enable these sorts of things through a third party
Hey, thanks for the heads up! Its only supposed to ask when you try to turn it on, but guess there’s an issue with the logic for when it should ask for permission. I’ll definitely get that sorted out before release.
Yeah, I think there’s a slight issue with TF tokens atm, but only happens in some situations it seems. Has worked for me for the last week or so, so probably just a minor thing. Looking into it!
Seems like I missed some details about how push notifications work in testflight, should be good now if you enable it and allow in system settings. Did you get this notification? If you didn’t, you might have to toggle it off and on again in the app!
Turned out the TF environment and dev environment arent compatible, so just had to switch that for all the notifications to come through! Not diagnostics atm, might be a good idea to add that tho. Some kind of metrics would also be pretty insightful…
Hi, yeah this is expected unfortunately. Basically since the App Store version doesn’t support notifications it doesn’t know to lower the badge count when you open a reply, but the badge is still increased by iOS when it receives a notification. Best solution atm is disabling the badge in settings until the update is out!
If you long press/tap the “…” button on comments/posts there’s an option to block users and communities. For posts you might have to open it first to block the user. Filtering bot posts is a cool idea, might add that
Yeah. I’m thinking I’ll probably do a separate page under “account” with a per-user chat, similar to most messaging apps. Mixing up everything in the inbox would get a bit messy I think
It’s pretty close to what I’m thinking, except I don’t want another step to see you inbox so I’ll place it under the account tab instead. PMs arent looked at nearly as often as replies, so I think it’s a good tradeoff
When scrolling down the normal view, some text is in gray and not white, so it’s hard to read. So it would be nice if we were able to change the text color 
Do you mean the upvote/comment labels and stuff like that? Titles should only be gray if the posts are read. Could perhaps add an accessibility setting that uses only pure white/pure black fonts, but I don’t think fully custom text colors would work very well with all the themes. It’d be pretty much impossible to ensure that the colors are legible on all kinds of backgrounds.
Hmm, IMO that’d get a bit cluttered and would be easy to hit accidentally. The quickest way to refresh right now is probably tapping the top and doing a quick pull-to-refresh.
Despite the setting for embedding videos into the feed being disabled, all YouTube links are actually embed links instead of regular ones. This is regardless of the underlying posts using regular YouTube links....
Thanks for all the info! You’re right, this is a result of the youtube embed feature. Even with the option disabled, the app still does some preprocessing to get embedded links so you don’t have to reload everything in case you turn it on. I’ll look into converting the links back if you open them directly in the browser
Thank you - this is pretty much the best bug report ever. Are you a dev by any chance? :p
Didn’t even know about the “pending” subscription type, I’m sure other lemmy app devs are also unaware. The lemmy api is not super well documented atm, so it requires a fair bit of poking around in the code to figure out how stuff works.
This seems to happen only if you hold the icon for a little while. It’s the default behavior for iOS (it enables you to swipe to select an option) so not sure it’s possible to avoid unfortunately.

Avelon 1.0.8 - push notifications, lots of fixes, performance improvements, and some nice-to-have features! (apps.apple.com)
Hi everyone!...
Unable to login to instance
Instance upgraded to Lemmy .19 Beta and now login through Avelon is broken.
Won’t stay logged in
Every time I open the app I have to re-enter my login information. This only started recently. Am I missing an option to stay logged in?
Pure black theme makes some of the text (ie number of upvotes, messages, community name etc) unreadable
As the title says, the shade of gray used for Pure Black theme makes most of the text using that shade borderline unreadable....
Push notifications - open beta!
Hi everyone,...
[Feature Request] Block accounts/bots
I’m either blind or this isn’t a feature of this app yet, but there doesn’t seem to be a feature yet to add an account to a block list....
[bug] No dm messages
Missed a dm that wasn’t displayed in the inbox. Stable
[Feature Request] Show Usernames in Feed
Thank you for Avelon!...
[Feature request] Ability to change color of headings and text.
When scrolling down the normal view, some text is in gray and not white, so it’s hard to read. So it would be nice if we were able to change the text color 
[Feature Request] add “reload/refresh” button for posts in top nav bar
Could a refresh button be added to top nav bar? I know it’s in the ellipse menu, but it would save a step. Maybe a pro option?...
[Bug] All YouTube links are embed links

[Bug] Context menu opens while scrolling (i.imgur.com)
I’ve noticed this bug for sometime. While scrolling sometimes the context menu registers a touch and opens when not intended.
