Memmy - An iOS client for Lemmy @lemmy.ml gkd @lemmy.ml 2y ago

App Store Update Released 🥳 - Please Update Your Account if on Lemmy.world - Working on better fix now - Push notifications online, fixing some issues there too

App store version is up.

If you are on Lemmy.world, you need to update your JWT token. Sorry, this was not intuitive and there is no proper error message. This is my fault and we seriously just never got around to this.

Please go to "Manage Accounts" and then tap your Lemmy.world account. Hit "Edit Account", enter your password, then hit save. You should be back up and running.

What's with the Memmy release notes on the App Store? I think you meant to say, "Various bug fixes and improvements" 😜
- Noooooooo, more details is good!
  
  “We’ve squashed some bugs….”
- Ugh no
I’m on lemmy world and I’ve had to re-save my credentials 3 times today. I’m ok with that, but curious if I should expect this to keep happening, or if I should report this somewhere.
- This has nothing to do with Memmy, but was a result of them invalidating JWTs because of the incdient that happened last night. Regardless, I will make it more intuitive now and just re-authenticate you.
  
  I understand it wasn’t a Memmy thing - I’m wondering if they’ve invalidated the JWTs every few hours today?
- Same here. The fix only seems to last a few minutes before everything breaks and I need to re-save my credentials all over again.
  
  Yep. Same here. Seems to be working better now. 🤞Not sure if they fixed the server, or if the updated client is working around it.
Good work! Things are feeling very snappy and smooth. If the following items can be implemented, I think Memmy will be my default Lemmy app!

Push notifications

Custom swipe actions

Direct messages

Subscriber count on communities search

I’m sure all these have been requested already though so I’m just waiting patiently for now :)
- We already have push notifications :)
  
  The other things are all on the todo list.
  
  Just a heads up, I get stuck with this little loading wheel until I force quit the app when I try to enable notifications.
Awww I really liked the old app icon. Can we get a retro option? :D

Thanks for the update though, loving it so far!
- Me too
- I love the new icon!
  
  Yeah the new icon did kinda grow on me over the day. It however feels a bit more ‘generic’ and the old one really stood out. It also felt kinda old-school which I liked.
Anyone else still getting an error when downvoting?
- You have to re-login
Thanks for this post!

I am really enjoying the update so far.

I have been having an issue where when I go to traverse, none of my subreddits are listed, and the subscribed feed is filled with random groups I’m not subscribed to.

Updating the JWT token like you recommend fixes it, but FWIW, I have had to do it more than once since the update.
- Hey can you tell me: If you force quit the app now, and open it back up. Do you have to sign in again?
  
  Yeah it looks like I needed to sign in again for my subscriptions to appear after force quitting
  
  Presuming you are looking for others to confirm, but I can still repro on demand.
- Let me see why you had to do it more than once. Really weird.
  
  Looks like you might have figured it out below in your discussion with RustedSwitch! Thanks for the quick response.
Would it be possible to add the original app icon back in as an option?
Should those of us in TestFlight keep using that version or should we start migrating to the app store app, @gkd@lemmy.ml? I'm not sure how long having us there continues to benefit the team with continued development.
- My understanding is that the test flight will always be available to test out updates prior to release. I believe right now both versions are the same.
Yessss, I can finally load all the other comments when viewing my own comments!
Content -> default sort will not update to “new” when I select “new” for some reason.

Nearly all my preferences reset with the update.
I think I found a bug. If you force close Memmy you have to re-enter your password on your account to see saved posts and post comments. I’ve been able to consistently reproduce the behavior.
- Test…
- Test comment…
Updating account doesn’t fix anything. Unable to post, comment, upvote or downvote. Says “Not logged in” despite being able to see my inbox and all subscribed communities.
- Have you tried a reinstall? We have fixed these issues in the upcoming build but a reinstall should fix it for now.
  
  Yes. This was after a full reinstall.
This update is so damn good oh my god BLESS YOU GKD
The bug to set NEW as the default sort option for posts in the config menu is still alive
I can’t seem to fix my account login. I retype my password, but it then complains about the username - but I can’t edit that and I’m not sure how to remove the account.

Any suggestions?
- The easiest way is a reinstall (I literally just added the logout button now but won't be on the App Store for about a day).
  
  Else, you can add the account again in settings, then delete it. It will delete both accounts and you can sign in.
  
  Thanks - just managed to sort it. I was logging in with my email before, but I noticed it was now asking for the username.
  
  All sorted!
  
  I’ve tried this too - but I get the same error when trying to login.
I don’t see it mentioned in the release notes, but I can confirm Memmy now downloads images to share them directly instead of sending a link.

Fuck yeah, thank you!
Does 2FA not work with Memmy? When trying to log in the screen advances past my username and password after entering it, but then I receive a pop-up error saying I have to enter my token with no place to actually enter it, and I’m just returned back to the join or login screen.

EDIT: Seems to be working now and I’m receiving the token field.
- This happening to me right now also, do you know how you got it to work?
  
  I didn’t actually change anything. I just went back to it later on to try one more time, and the field popped up for me. Maybe it’s related to some of these ongoing authentication issues that have been happening on lemmy.world.
bring back the old icon (at least as variant for the icon), otherwise great update !
Tried to delete my account because I didn’t know I could just retype my password.
darn, looks like I can’t click on Post links anymore now
- What do you mean?
  
  This one for example, can you click the links in the post, the ones that are in the list?

  Did you manage to replicate the issue?
Idk if this warrants its own post, but is anyone else getting a language_not_allowed error when making a post? I can’t tell if it’s an error with my titles or if it’s just a quirk with the app.
Since the update I’m seeing NSFW posts even though I have to toggle set to “don’t show” the “blur” toggle seems to be working at least.
Thanks for your hard work!
I’ve just started using Memmy and it’s a great app. But I can’t figure out how to pin posts on the community I mod.
Push notifications working again yay thank you! Got to say I love the new icon and the app feels amazingly smooth, I hope you know how much we all appreciate your work ❤️
Ah! Thanks for this. I tried everything except this! :)
Can't post comment in fountain pen community, get "language not allowed" error, is it memmy, communities or instances fault?
Receiving a weird error when signing into a 2nd instance account
- Use the username for the instance rather than the email.
- Using multiple accounts fine here
woohoo I can collapse post text now!

one minor thing, I think all my settings got reverted back to defaults?
Thanks mate, donated a few coffees to you 🙂
Love the update! Especially the “hide read messages” button!
