Avelon App

Looks like full radio silence, and even the IAP links in the app have started to die. Looks like evgiz has moved on to other projects as well based on their twitter. I'll be over on Voyager.

I do hope @[email protected] is alright.

How’s this app nowadays? Still usable and in development?

Community seems not really alive unfortunately, saw the last post was from 2 months ago.

I still can’t log in for whatever reason It was my favorite Lemmy client until I suddenly could not log into my account anymore. I even was paying for a subscription.

The log in process is horrible. If you leave the app with any log in information in the fields, it removes them when returning.

Not to mention I can’t even sign in. Ridiculous.

Looking at the app on the App Store, it seems it hasn’t had any updates in over 4 months so I’m assuming it’s dead?

I accidentally blocked a community when viewing a post. Is there a way to undo this in the app or a way online?

So when I try gif scrubbing, it says I need to upgrade to Pro. Okay, but in settings there are only options for donating to the developer now, and there is no Pro upgrade anymore. So what’s going on here? Is the Pro option going away? If I donate, will I get Pro features? Does the interface just need to catch up with new monetization model? I’m confused.

Looks like every post from Reddit images and redgif are broken and don’t load any more

Im using on iphone 12 running on 17.3.1(latest version) and the apps version also latest on 1.0.8.

Having a feature to edit posts or comments after they are published within the app itself would be great for correcting mistakes or adding additional information.

I’m using the iPad app in my Vision Pro and I can log in, but all the feeds just error out

I switched over to the app last night and noticed that my subscription list is empty. The Home screen shows my subscription posts correctly but the actual list of them is never populated even after force closing the app and reopening.

In October, a new sorting mode was introduced: „scaled“

This allows sorting posts based on the size of the community in order to avoid the feed being dominated by large, active communities, and pushing smaller communities. This was one of the main blockers for me to move from Reddit, so I’m glad it’s finally implemented. Therefore, I would love to see this sort option be available in Avelon on supported instances.

Thanks!

This happens both on a feed as well as within a thread.

Happens both on my direct instance as well as on a random instance out there.

I go to scroll, and there is a nearly one-second pause before the screen jumps to where I have scrolled. If I start very slowly, there is no pause, but I am talking about an unreasonably slow start to the scroll.

Working with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, hardware limitations should not be in play here.

Working with the latest version of Avalon.

Curious if I am the only one.

I just started using this app today after wading through bug after bug with Voyager. Like many, Apollo was my go-to app for years and years, so it’s natural to gravitate to the one that looks exactly like it.

However, I consume this type of content mostly on my iPad, and often I’m using Stage Manager with an external KB and trackpad. Voyager in this mode barely works, so I’m just making a post here to say thanks for making this app feel great in this mode. 😎

The apps seems to crash every 30 minutes of scrolling. The whole phone is then laggy for a few minutes. It looks like there is a memory leak.

When I bring up an image by itself, I can do a long press on the image and get the app Safari drop-down interface (see attached), which gives me (along with other tools) the option to download the image to my camera roll or to copy the image for pasting elsewhere.

Unfortunately, the Avelon app blocks this action entirely.

If there is a workaround, it gives no indication as to what it is, forcing the user to thrash around and discover the box with the out/up arrow in the lower right.

If there is a way to whitelist this behaviour, there is also no way to inform the user on what setting they need to adjust.

At any rate, this is a noticeably frustrating suboptimal UI/UX, and should be addressed.

Hey there,

I would absolutely love if we could have settings apply and save on a per-account basis. I’m trying to be a responsible degenerate and keep my lewdness sectioned away in a separate account, but so often I’ll forget to change things back and I’ll have to hurriedly hide my phone when browsing my sfw account in public so that I don’t expose the neighborhood children to that weird-ass kink they just aren’t ready for yet.

This is one of the very few features I personally think is missing to make this a full 10/10 app, even though it’s still far and away my favorite as-is.

As a side note, I’m a frontend dev myself and would happily contribute to this project if I knew where to start. I’ve poked around in the source code a little but got lost in the structure and in the local setup instructions. If anyone can either point me to the relevant TS/JS/config (or similar) files, or help me understand the app layout and local build process, I’d be very much obliged and eager to contribute when I have downtime.

Have you given up on this project?

I think Avelon has become one of the best Lemmy apps for iOS, but there is one issue that is preventing me from buying into Pro and making it my default: inline video only for video and gifs.

This is such a huge drawback to otherwise great app; the native player has simple, intuitive and familiar controls; allowing users to switch to horizontal, mute, pause, rewind/forward, etc.

Is support for the native player disabled intentionally or is this something that is in the works?

Came across an issue with this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/9922111

When viewed in browser it’s a scene from Star Trek about beards, when viewed in Avelon though it’s a video of chinchilla’s dancing and waving their butts about.

Happens each time the post loads, in both the main feed and the post view itself.

With most instances updated to 19.0 and Avelon supporting it, when will we be able to use the new Scaled and Controversial sorting methods?

Hey all, I’ve been unable to log into the app with this lemmynsfw.com account for the past week or so. Every time I try, I get the following message:

!

I had issues with downvotes always erroring for about a week before that - not sure if it’s related. My other account works normally.

Anybody else having similar issues?

It’s been a months since 1.0.7 and the app still has bugs that need to be fixed. I’m hesitant to pay for the next month of pro without any progress. Meanwhile Voyager gets multiple updates per week…

When trying to add a new guest instance it opens the window to type it and it quickly disappears.

On a side note, what’s going on with the development? It’s the longest we’ve had without a new update and (at least for me) Avelon has become a little laggy, not to mention 0.19 is just a few days away.

Hope everything is okay with evgiz.

Instance upgraded to Lemmy .19 Beta and now login through Avelon is broken.
