RE: toot.fedilab.app/@apps/1169814…

There are three ways to get #Fedilab beta releases:

- The beta channel on Google Play, by opting in from the app description
- #FDroid through our custom repo fdroid.fedilab.app
- The APK attached to the release notes

PS: all these APKs are signed by me. If you have an F-Droid version, you first need to export your data in settings, remove the app (due to the signature mismatch), install, then import your previous data from the login page. Everything will be restored immediately.

#Fedilab 3.43.0-beta-1 has been published in the dev channel. This release now targets Android 16, which is why I'm releasing it as a beta first.

To beta testers: could you check that you don't have any layout issues with this version? Thanks!

@HurricaneWeasel joined the #Fedilab account at @apps. You might already know him, he's the same person managing issues on #Codeberg.
His help with the account will be really valuable to me. The idea is to better handle issues reported on the #Fediverse and in our repo.
When we post, we'll try as much as possible to sign our messages. So, welcome Marco and thank you!

Hi Fedilab,
@apps
I have stopped using the app, coz of one reason. Until that's solved, I couldn't use the app 😭.

When there's some notifications, it goes to read just coz I navigated to the tab. So hard.
So please either mark as read only when I explicitly click a button or mark give each notification a mark as read button.

I'll soon publish a beta release of #Fedilab with several fixes:

- IPv4 fallback when IPv6 fails (mostly over WiFi, with an infinite loader)
- Cache improvements (faster loads even with a heavy cache)
- Memory leak fixes

The target version will also be Android 16, which removed the edge-to-edge opt-out that Fedilab used.


Recent reports I received for #Fedilab were mostly about OOM (out of memory) bugs.
I re-enabled LeakCanary to track them down and fixed four leaks that kept the app holding onto memory while navigating between activities.
People who never kill the app may have run into those crashes. The next release should be more stable.


Thank you very much for your effort! #fedilab ist my daily driver. even If I regularily try alternatives, fedilab for me is still the best Mastodon client.


And for the fedinauts using Fedilab as client: Fedilab can be configured to use Offline Translator for postings.

#HolosDiscover now lets you filter trends (posts, tags and links) by language. It also displays trending accounts related to those results.

What's your opinion about bringing HolosDiscover inside #Fedilab?

  • Yes, it would be useful (43%, 45 votes)
  • No, keep it for Holos Social (12%, 13 votes)

I've started improving #Fedilab, especially some old annoying bugs, such as issues with certain instances not working over WiFi, or the app being slow to load timelines due to too much cache.
I recently got some reports, but most of them are missing the attachment (crash report). That's my fault: the ACRA lib is outdated. After that, I'll start fixing the issues reported on Codeberg.

Hi,
is it possible to add an RSS feed to the FediLab App?
It would be really useful to me!!
Thanks!

Personally I applaud any FOSS developer willing to ask for financial help to make their projects better. FOSS should be community development, not martyrdom.

It's not a lot, but I just set up an anonymous monthly payment through Liberapay to put my money where my mouth is.

Thank you for all your amazing work on Fedilab (which I use daily) and HoloSocial (which I hope to use soon). Thankyou too for having the courage to ask, so I remember to help how I've meant to for far too long. What I'm paying doesn't nearly cover the value you provide me, but hopefully this encourages others to chip in and help, too. ❤️

Recently I told you about the offline translator available on #FDroid.
f-droid.org/packages/dev.david…
Currently, translating opens the translator app. The idea is to keep everything inside #Fedilab: the translated text comes straight back into the post, so you never leave the app. You do not even notice it used another app in the background. It is already done in #HolosSocial, and I will add it to Fedilab.


I think the idea itself is a good one. It should be possible to switch the function on or off as required.

#Fedilab #MoonDream


That's a great app with very good translations.

Another well running and integrated is Translate You:

f-droid.org/packages/com.bnyro…

#Fedilab #HolosSocial #Android #FDroid #OfflineTranslator


don't we have this already with @altbot ? The used model differs, but apart from that it reads very similar.

#Fedilab #MoonDream


#Fedilab and #HolosSocial allow using the offline translator for #Android, and the app is available on #FDroid.
I would like to encourage every F-Droid user to use it and enable it in Fedilab.

f-droid.org/packages/dev.david…

I will improve both apps to capture the translation and go back, because their app allows it.

#OfflineTranslator



An idea for #Fedilab: a feature to generate a description for your photos to help accessibility. You post an image, and a suggested alt text comes back for you to review and edit before publishing. It would run on a self-hosted open source vision model (#MoonDream: github.com/vikhyat/moondream) on my own server, in a closed loop with no cloud, no third-party service and no image stored. Would this be useful to you?

If you are a polyglot, #Fedilab introduces a feature for you: detect the language before posting. A pop-up lets you quickly change the language before posting to the #Fediverse.
You can easily enable this feature in the settings.


#Fedilab now lets you set a custom colour for DMs in your timelines, making them easier to spot. Just search for DM in settings to find it.


#Fedilab 3.42.1 is available.

You can now translate profile bios, set a custom background colour for direct messages, and view poll results without voting.
It also brings several improvements and fixes.
