@rmbl Oh, I see that I was confused a bit about terminology. The "Group" notion in #ActivityPub is about a group of Actors (people etc.), but we are talking here about a named "Collection" of notes/activities. But actually GNU Social calls such collections "Groups" :-) I'm creating descriptions and comparisons of Groups/Lists notions in different types of social networks, supported by #AndStatus, here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/248#issuecomment-219826572
No, I don't use IRC. That way of communication is in another Universe for me :-)
@rmbl Sometimes I need the same, and I also feel that it is inconvenient to keep "unread" all notifications in order not to forget one of them. Recently I started implementation of Group/Lists support in #AndStatus. And I see that creation of some personal "ToDo" group and adding any note/ activity to that group could help in such cases. Unfortunately AFAIK only #ActivityPub supports such actions, meaning that such custom groups of notes could be automatically synced between User's devices or even shared... Moreover, each "Social network" in #AndStatus logically should have its own group... So it seems that I will start from some device-local groups (like tags...) that can be easily viewed... @fedilab
@roka As I remember, #AndStatus gets the limit from Mastodon's configuration... Please try to go to AndStatus Settings -> Accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Select your account and then Reverify credentials. Do you see updated toot length limit?
@colegota "Can't synchronize" for "Everything" Timeline is normal (for now...) meaning that there is no such timeline to sync. But we could interprete syncing "Everything" Timeline as "Sync all timelines"... Maybe this will be more natural?!
@baloouriza Currently #AndStatus uses Android's native way to handle the stack of activities thus allowing a user to move backwards just like in any other Android app. Changing this would surprise a user... I think that what you really want is that a Timeline in the stack would be automatically updated and re-positioned to the latest viewed position on its opening during the User's navigation "back" - currently a Tímeline from the backstack usually shows outdated information. ?! Please note that navigation to the Default Tímeline currently clears the whole activities stack thus allowing you to return to the beginning in one tap. I usually do this exactly to avoid long return using the Android stack. Just set the Default Tímeline properly...
@baloouriza #AndStatus has an option to show latest notes first in the Conversation view. Regarding timelines: how do you "Pull to refresh" at the bottom of the list? I didn't see any such Android app yet... @gdorn
@why Regarding saving images: this can be done using image viewer that has this feature. Another option: switch in Settings #AndStatus Storage to External storage - and all downloaded images become browsable by any viewer: they are stored as separate files in the "downloads" subfolder.
@why Thank you for the feedback! > "stop following this user" probably shouldn't be in the context menu Maybe. And what's about "Follow this user"? > and neither should 3 different reply options I don't know a better place for these reply options. > needing to menu>discard to stop the reply is unintuitive (put a garbage can icon at the top) Do you really Discard more often than Attach, Send and Save?! Discard simply doesn't fit into an action bar. I may move it before Search though, so it will become the fourth button and will be visible in a Portrait orientation. > different screen for typing replies, instead of cramming it into the bottom of the screen Note Editor takes the whole screen if your text is long. But it allows you to see a context while editing. > hiding attachments makes some images inaccessible That is 10 years ago option, needs rethinking now...
