on Video zoom issues · c/arctic · 2 pts · 1y

I'm able to reproduce the issue with this video. I'll look into it. It seems to only affect HLS streams with variable resolution. So it is likely not updating the zoom properly since the aspect ratio doesn't change, but the size does.

A toggle would not be necessary for this one, I was planning to just add an action the the long press action menu on PeerTube links. By default, tapping the link would open it in the browser.

Eventually I'd like to support PeerTube link embedding in comments as well, but I've got a few things that are more pressing at the moment.

I'm not sure I've seen anyone that uses Lemmy Explorer as intensively as you do, so all your feedback has been great. I can definitely add a sort by date feature, as I believe that is included in the API. I'll skim through the api and see if there are any other filters I can include in addition to this while I'm at it.

This is mostly out of my control. The NSFW filter is not exactly as it seems. Any community or instance that allows NSFW posts is considered a NSFW subject by Lemmy Explorer. This means that even a casual community could be marked NSFW if it allows mature content of any kind. It would be nice if there was some more refined way of filtering this, but as it stands, there is not any API that detects NSFW by content rather than setting.

This is one that I tried my best to find a good balance for. Lemmy doesn't support marking a post as a text, media, link post. So, if a posts primary url is not a media link, the media will not be displayed in the feed. However, if the primary url is a media link, and the post body contains media URLs, then it will be displayed as a gallery.

Arctic used to render all posts with media as the primary URL, or media URLs in the post body as media posts, however there were a lot of instances where this was undesirable, so I changed it. I'm hoping in the future, Lemmy will support tagging image groups as gallery's, and post types, eg: text, image, link, etc. in the mean time Arctic just tries to make a best guess. That said, I am going to look into rendering posts such as the one you linked as image posts, in the case that the entire body of the post is a media URL.

I hope that clarifies this instance, but I'm definitely open to feedback on this behavior.

This is something I haven't seen before. I'm curious if this may have been an issue with the API considering your account was so new.

In case this is not an issue with the api, would you mind opening the profile tab, and then going to Settings -> About -> Arctic Logs. There should be an entry that shows the raw api request including the username sent with the request. It's possible that the username is malformed in some way which would cause this issue.

The log entry I am looking for should look something like this:

[2025-03-02 01:13:49 +0000] [info] [lemmy] [performRequestWithCheckedResponse(_:)] LemmyAPI request: https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user?auth=_private_&limit=20&page=1&saved_only=false&sort=New&username=CreatureSurvive@lemmy.world

I'm in the process of rewriting the notification server for Arctic. I added backend support for muting replies yesterday, I still have some work to do before it's ready to use, but it should hopefully be within the next week.

The server rewrite will allow muting posts, or individual comment threads.

This one is not really possible via the API. It is odd that there is no notification of any kind for content removal. The most I could do here is like you said, send a notification when one of your posts or comments is moderated.

I'm in the process of rewriting the notification server, so I'll look into adding moderation notifications while I'm at it. Hopefully at some point Lemmy will handle removed content better than its current system.

I was a day late, but this is fixed now. There is still an issue when changing the font size where it may not fully apply throughout the app until it is relaunched. I'm looking into this, and I'll probably have it fixed in the next release.

This is a good point, I don't do a lot of posting so any feedback like this is invaluable. I spent some time rewriting the layout for the post composer the other day (not redesigning, just updating the layout code) and I noticed a few ways I want to improve it. I'm going to start working on a redesigned post composer here soon. I'll incorporate something like this in the UI.
