[2025] Roadmap (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Will be tracking the roadmap by year going forwards.

Planned changes

  • Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established).
  • Setup wizard.
  • Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date)
  • Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user.
  • Revisit the "more options" menus. Some of them are getting too long.
  • Revisit how settings (specifically Settings search) is implemented

Specific user requests

  • Instead of showing a circle when votes are hidden, show nothing instead.
  • Take screenshot from post feed.
  • Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the "Search" screen somewhere.
  • Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow.
  • Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1)
  • Add screen to view all uploaded content
  • Add setting to show bottom bar on post screen
  • Add custom layout setting for inbox screen. Specifically to support a "full" layout.
  • Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search.
  • https://lemmy.world/post/27467193
  • add option to import communities from Reddit
  • add setting to separate recent communities, bookmarks and history by account.
  • add setting to set a max height (by px) for full content layouts.
  • https://lemmy.world/post/27608794
  • several users have brought up the "hide read" filter option. Will need to revisit the best way to do this again.
  • update Summit's website to state it's open source.
  • allow admin/mods to comment in locked posts.
  • comment headers are still cutting off for super long instance names or user names.
  • add a setting to match web for marking inbox items as read. Eg. only mark inbox item as read if reply or if check mark is pressed.
  • see if there is a way to check which comments were made since the last time you viewed a post and to highlight them somehow (apparently boost does this?). If this isn't possible, add an option to highlight new posts (maybe with an adjustable time range). 15m seems like a good amount of time.
  • Set the ‘hide read posts’ option as default on. So when I load the feed I don’t have to hit ellipses then hide read posts again. Make it persist even if I change sorting mode.
  • each post in the feed should have a ‘mark as read’ button I can tap easily, when hit post auto hides.
  • a button that scrolls down kind of like the scroll to next comment thread functionality, with the up and down buttons, BUT it scrolls the main feed screen by a page at a time.
  • maybe surface search within community in more places?
  • https://lemmy.world/post/29147076/16862280
  • https://lemmy.world/post/29147076/16965825
  • add url domain to compact layout (like web)
  • add FAB quick action to refresh the post feed.
  • add setting to download file to folder based on community: https://lemmy.world/comment/17081662
  • https://lemmy.world/comment/16965825
  • think about how to support sharing as a ULR and as a "mention".
  • share image URL via unproxied link. Details: https://lemmy.world/post/29634477
  • add search options to search by special feeds such as subscribed, local, or moderator view.
  • Inline embeds similar to Discord/Slack - https://lemmy.world/post/30227433
  • Sports Mode. It’s a toggle for viewing comments in a post that automatically refreshes every 15 seconds, which is really great for participating in live threads.
  • Add some way to search from within a community (auto-filter by community).
  • Add setting to disable recents in community selector.
  • Add a way to sort communities by number of times visited on the device: https://lemmy.world/comment/17413948

Version 1.67.4, code 276 (it would be nice if press-holding this in the settings would copy this info to the clipboard, by the way)

  1. See this comment
  2. Reply to it
  3. My comment appears with the rest of the top-level comments with no color banner spanning the left side, and not directly under the target comment
  4. Retry steps 2-3, twice, with no change
  5. Delete comments and finally refresh the whole thing and then see them get reorganized and receive color banners

Wut. This has never happened before.

Fixing application tab (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 1 day ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hi, I love the fact I can resolve reports and do [most] of my admin stuff from summit, but applications are impossible to do even is they're implemented.

The two problems are that I can't see the full text, and there's no rejection template (look at how tesseract does it for example)

Thank you!

The community got the required number of votes to force me to add PieFed support which is what this release will be focused on.

This has the potential to be a huge change. At the time of writing, I'm still doing exploration work so I'm not sure how long it will take. It could take a couple of days or a couple of weeks depending on what I find.

In the meantime, I did fix some bugs.

Changelog so far

  • Fix a bug where when you open a post, the spinner will appear to stutter for a moment.
  • Fix a bug where pulling to refresh on the post screen will cause all comments to refresh even if they have not changed.
  • Fix a bug where inline images will sometimes not load until the screen is refreshed.
  • Fix a bug where "Prev" button doesn't load the page if pressed on page 2 when Infinity mode is off.
  • Add support for PieFed.

Update

Wrapping up PieFed support. Current release ETA is tomorrow (July 15th, evening). The main known bug at the moment (that I will not address) is that certain fields on PieFed use HTML instead of Markdown. The fix isn't hard, it just requires the app to include some dependencies that will increase the app size. Once PieFed is more stable, I'll add support for HTML then but for the time being I will hold off on HTML support.

I'm not sure how feasible this would be technically, but I wanted to suggest a feature that could be really useful for community creators and moderators on Lemmy.

Would it be possible to add the ability for a user to transfer ownership (Head Mod role) of a Lemmy community directly within the Summit app, without needing to go to the Community Instance website?


Summit already lets users manage many aspects of their communities—such as editing the:

display name,

icon,

banner,

description,

NSFW/moderator-only settings,

and even deleting the community

—all in-app.


It would be incredibly helpful if ownership transfers could be handled the same way.

This feature could be especially useful for users who are overwhelmed, stepping back from moderating, or consolidating their mod duties across multiple instances—particularly those who primarily use the app and rarely access Lemmy via a browser.

I'm not sure how achievable or realistic this is, but I was wondering if Summit has ever considered potentially adding a visual indicator for Head Mods of Lemmy communities?


For example:

A small "H" or "HM" (for Head Mod) next to their username in their own community

A symbol, perhaps something similar to Reddit's Shield Icon for Redd Mods

A different name color, similar to how Lemmy Admins have red usernames—something to visually distinguish them from regular green mods

This would make it easier for users (and even other moderators) to identify who the Head Mod is, especially in communities with several regular moderators.

Some posts in communities I follow are quite long. I don't mind their presence, but they are not always relevant to me and result in unnecessary scrolling to pass essay-length posts.

An option to automatically collapse posts longer than, say, 10 lines would be a nice bonus feature to have.

Anyone else agree?

In non-infinite scroll mode, press Next to go to page 2, then use the system button/gesture or press the Prev button. The UI says you're now on page 1 but it still shows the posts from page 2 until you refresh. Strangely going from page 3 to 2 works fine.

Occurring in 1.66.5 and there previous release too (though not before).

If you scroll to near the bottom of the guidelines tab, it gives a close example.

I’m not sure how achievable or technically feasible this is, but I wanted to suggest a possible improvement to the way notifications are visually displayed in the Summit app for Lemmy.

Currently, Summit uses a single light pink notification indicator with a number bubble on the inbox tab to indicate all new notifications. While this works, it doesn’t differentiate between the types of alerts — such as replies, DMs, reports, or mentions.

Would it be possible to introduce different coloured notification badges based on the type of notification?

Or even just different symbols without the amount number?


For example:

Pink for standard reply/mention notifications (as it is now)

Blue for Direct Messages

Green for Reports (for mods)

Orange or Yellow for Admin-level alerts

Or even customizable color settings per user?


This could help users (especially mods and admins) quickly identify the nature of incoming notifications at a glance, and prioritize accordingly. It might also improve the overall UX by reducing the need to open the inbox tab just to see what kind of notification has come in.

Thanks for all the hard work you’ve been doing with Summit — it’s a fantastic app!

It's been a long time since Summit first supported creating post/comment in the app. Since then, Lemmy has added several new features to posts and comments. This update brings feature parity between Summit and Lemmy, adding support for things such as alt-text and custom thumbnails.

This update also continues to polish the user experience further. The aim is to make the app a treat to use.

This update adds another layer of caching for images. When navigating to a post with an image, the thumbnail will be used while the source image loads. This should result in a smoother, more magical experience.

I'm going to be generous and leave the PieFed post up for one more release but I will definitely reset it next release. If you want Summit to support PieFed please upvote this post: https://lemmy.world/post/31899935 .

Full changelog

  • Add a "detailed view" to the mod logs. Tapping a mod log event in the event list will open up a detailed view, showing full details of the mod log event.
  • Update add/edit post screen to support custom thumbnails, alt text and language.
  • Update add/edit comment screen to support specifying a language.
  • Improve performance on post feed and post screen.
  • Improve post viewing experience by showing the thumbnail image if it's available while the full image loads.
  • Slight optimization rendering the action buttons on posts in the post feed.
  • Change icon & splash background based on system theme (eg. light background for light theme, dark background for dark theme).
  • Changed person/community mention auto-complete to insert just the mention by default. Eg. previously tapping on the suggestion [email protected] would insert [@[email protected]](https://lemmy.world/u/idunnololz), after the change tapping it would insert @[email protected]. Add a long-press menu with the option to insert the full link.
  • Fix a bug where punctuation is included in the url. Eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/. is parsed as https://en.wikipedia.org/. instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/)
  • Fix a bug where sometimes the inbox screen doesn't auto-refresh when you open it.
  • Fix a bug where the cake icon will not correctly center in the line.

Update

Made some more improvements to how the app handles mentions. Hopefully this change will put a stop to all of the mention bugs. Doing a release as v1.66.1.

  • Improve how mentions are handled. This indirectly fixes various mention bugs.
  • Fix a crash when switching to an invalid instance on the guest account.

Update 2

Release v1.66.3 to fix a bug that prevents users from posting anything. (skipped v1.66.2 because I made a mistake).

Update 3

Found a few crashes introduced by this released. I did a quick fix for these and submitted it to the olaystore for release however the app was rejected due to some of the NSFW functionality. To resolve these issues I went along with how other apps typically handle these and require the user to sign in to see NSFW functions.

Apologies for anyone affected by these changes.

These changes are released as v1.66.5.

  • Fix a crash when using custom actions in the post feed.
  • Fix a rare crash that can occur when loading context in the inbox screens.
  • Require user to be signed in to see NSFW features.
