Das #Fedilab Projekt braucht unsere Hilfe!
fedilab.app/
I've been working on Fedilab and few other open source projects since around 2017. It was a so good experience, having your feedback and your help. At the time I was financially comfortable and it helped me to spend time to develop useful software. But now, I am unfortunately facing some bad events in life. Each month started to be harder for me. I simply don't know how to ask you to help me financially. I have been accepting donations, but it has been to help the projects, not me personally.
With #Fedilab you can see profiles or conversations remotely with a simple tap. That means the app will use the public API of remote instances to get all data that might not be known by your instance.
This is really useful to get all messages especially for small instances.
⚠️If you made the choice to enable remote conversations and/or remote profiles by default in settings, it will bring edge effects with the coloring of action buttons such boost, fav, etc. (1/2)
This might not be limited to the Fedilab app.
Wer benutzt hier noch Fedilab ?
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass wenn ich mit der App einen Beitrag sterne, kommt das häufig nicht an, denn wenn ich z.B. später mit einem Browser am PC nachgucke ist da gar nix passiert.
- We started to fix bug reports for #Fedilab, we will also bring some enhancements that have been submitted.
- #Fediplan is on #Weblate (a request for Libre hosting has been submitted). The app should be available soon on #FDroid

Fediplan
Fediplan is being translated into 3 languages using Weblate. Join the translation or start translating your own project.Hosted Weblate
#Fediplan dev is over. We are submitting it to #Fdroid.
We included a way to edit your scheduled messages (kind of trick like delete and rewrite).
We also took care of adding accessibility labels on each action button.
We will see with #Weblate to open a translation project (codeberg.org/tom79/FediplanApp…)
Now, we are back to #Fedilab

En hora buena, llego el mensaje que mando la patronal guardado por #fediLab la primera noche que el @bitpickup estaba en el hospital para que el supiera cuando hay omnibus de regreso. Se lo mandaron la misma noche que llego cuando estuvo pensando de salir rajando despues de que le dieron el antidoto porque tenia la perra en el coche en la policlinica del pueblo y no solo que es rearisca, estaba por estar al sol encerrada por un par de dias. Sin agua, ni comida ni nada, por no decir .. lindo panorama.
For crash reports, we might add details about your settings. There is of course no personal information, but that will help us to understand some situations.
PS: Crash reports are filtered in a dedicated directory where emails are removed after a month.
If you didn't opt-in in #Fedilab, you are not concerned (and you can opt-out just by switching off).
Thank you for your contributions.

Release 3.32.2 - tom79/Fedilab
Added: - An outline around media Changed: - Make username, display name in nav drawer clickable - Gif media not animated by default - Disable by default the mention to the booster when replying.Codeberg.org
Now that #Fedilab 3.32.1 is available for everyone, we received several reports:
- Crashes and lags related to a library that we recently updated.
It is used to animate emojis. We will rollback this update as there are no critical issues with it.
For people having crashes without lags, it can be related while playing Gif automatically in your timelines. Could you please disable this feature and give us your feedback before and after? (More in the media description)
Thank you for your help.
To people that still do not receive push notifications with #Fedilab, please give a try to #SunUp

We recommend this app over NTFY because you won't be rate limited.
It is of course not limited to Fedilab and you can use it with any other apps.

The huge version of #Fedilab (3.31.1) was compiled by #FDroid. We are sorry for that, we thought to have made everything to avoid that (3.31.1 exists in a smaller release).
This important difference in size is due to the use of a library that allows to locally detect the language used in a message. We needed it for MinT translator that doesn't support auto detection.
We immediately removed this lib and we used the language attached to a message (though it is not perfect)
Really sorry for that
To Google Play users, now, we attach each time the #Fedilab apk for Google Play in release notes.
codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/rel…
This is exactly the same apk that we submit to Google (no signature issue). That simply allows you to get it faster without breaking updates.

Did you know that you can customize colors with #Fedilab ?
These colors can be set for light and dark mode independently.
Sometimes, just changing the color of links is enough to improve your UX.

Now we have a wiki for #Fedilab!
We are slowly migrating the existing (and not-so-complete) documentation to the new wiki 😀
If you would like to help by adding/maintaining a wiki page for a feature you like, DM us and we can create a wiki account for you 😀
Here's one of the pages we moved so far:

Hey @pixelfed,
Are the API endpoints used in the official #Pixelfed app documented somewhere or we missed something?
We try our best to provide good Pixelfed support in #Fedilab. It would be easier if API information are easily accessible. That would help other third-party apps too. There are some information available in beta-preview.pixelfed.io and docs.pixelfed.org, but it seems not complete

You might know that #Fedilab runs its own translation server (using #LibreTranslate).
But did you know that the app also supports two other translators?
- #Lingva: you won't need extra steps though you can change the default instance.
- #DeepL: A more powerful translator. It's a paid service but you can get 500,000 characters per month for free.
Everything is configurable in settings Have a look to media descriptions).
More about getting a free DeepL api key: support.deepl.com/hc/en-us/art…
Still no crash reports received for #Fedilab 3.30.1 (523).
- We fixed the issue with media descriptions not updated (when editing a message with several media).
- We are still investigating the issue with push notifications for some Google users where the app distributor is not saved in settings.
Would you be interested by a full step by step on how to use our #FDroid repo to get updates immediately?
It will cover all situations (when coming from FDroid or Google Play). Explain more about beta releases, backup data before switching etc.
We can even make this part translatable to reach more people.
- Yes, I am interested (57%, 106 votes)
- No, not interested (14%, 27 votes)
- I am already using it (28%, 53 votes)

The app growed with your help. Most in-app features that we have implemented thanks to your suggestions became available through the Mastodon API.
- Bookmarks, translations, scheduled messages, timed-mute, home muted for lists, etc.
So simply a big thank you for your support and make the app as it is🙏
To people using instances that support more features than Mastodon, could you tell us what missing features should be implemented?
PS: #Fedilab already supports some features such reactions or quotes (you have to enable extra-features in Settings).
#Fedilab 3.30.0 has been published in production.
Added:

Changed:

Fixes ⤵️
If you write messages in different languages, the long list of available languages might be boring to scroll.
To make things easier, just go in Settings > Compose and tap on "Languages in picker".
Then select languages you want to see when composing.
The reason, if it is set as a social Network app we have to provide a link to report child abuses.
While it is an important move from Google, it is impossible for us to link to such a report form. This part has to be managed by instances and Google will not understand when submitting the app to reviews.
If you want to translate #Fedilab in your language, you can contribute on #Weblate

For the context, when you want to add a user in a list, you have to follow the account first.
So that means, you will receive their messages in your Home timeline.
#Fedilab introduced a feature that allows to mute them only for Home (this is an in-app feature).
If you have a list, you can bulk mute users for Home. Otherwise it's possible from their profile.
#Fedilab 2.30.0-beta-1 has been published in beta channels (Google and #FDroid).
Added:
- Keep media proportions in timelines for #Pixelfed
- Add a like button in timelines for Pixelfed
Change:
- Give more space to focused message in conversation
Fixed:
- Not clickable URLs when Markdown is enabled
- Pixelfed timeline not displayed by default
