Und da es gestern so gut lief

Was für Apps nutzt ihr als Alternative für Mastodon für Android?

Gerade nutze ich Tusky. Wenn es Mona auch geben sollte, kann mir wer n Screenshot von der App machen? Im Playstore gibt es total viele

I switched from #Feeder to #ReadYou as my favorite #RSS #app. The user interface in "Read You" is much cleaner and more visually appealing. It feels more modern and intuitive, which makes browsing through articles more enjoyable. I also find the readability to be significantly better, the fonts, spacing, and layout make it easier on the eyes. Overall, it just offers a more pleasant and efficient reading experience.

You can find it on #Fdroid

Weiß jemand von meiner #followerpower ob die #AndroidApp #RadioDroid aus #Fdroid noch weiterentwickelt wird? Die letzte Version 0.86 stammt vom 05.10.2023. Wäre sehr schade, wenn die #App verwaist wäre. Die nutze ich fast täglich.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).

What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

Me acabo de enterar en plena migración a compose de mi app de rutas, que osmdroid ha sido descontinuado.
Es una pena porque era una libreria maravillosa para quitar a Google de en medio.
Conocéis alguna alternativa que tome el testigo?

Do you know any viable alternative to osmdroid for map building in Android?

Can anyone tell me the difference between Aves and Aves Libre? Both are available trough @fdroidorg and @accrescent, so it can't be that one is proprietary.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.

If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).

If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:

• feat: add per-user rate limits;
• feat: suggest hashtags while typing;
• feat: swipe navigation between posts;
• feat: exclude stop words from timelines;
• feat: add shortcuts to other instances ("guest mode");
• feat: open post detail as thread;
• feat: post translation;
• feat: followed hashtag indication;
• feat: show source protocol for posts;
• enhancement: support for embedded images.

This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.

Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash

I'm looking for #recommendations for #mp3 player apps for android, specifically for music.

I have multiple apps for playing audio, but they either won't play local files or it would be clunky to do so. Search engines give me sponsored listicles written by someone who hasn't even tried the app ("it has good reviews in the app store."). I'm not sure how we got to the worst timeline.

@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.

Its "latest and greatest" are:
- tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags);
- new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.

The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).

It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.

Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1-beta10 has been released and is available for testing in the Play store (or in Obtainium if you prefer installing directly from GitHub)!

Apart from the usual localization and dependency updates, this version contains several improvements for embedded images and, if you are using Friendica, you will also be able to insert embedded images within your post body (as opposed to regular attachments). This can benefit those who want to create larger posts with several illustrations.

Let me know what you think about it and, as always, #livefasteattrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!

Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated. @Fitik @petrescatraian @TamilNeram @Ricky-Tigg

To old users, I've added two new big features: swipe navigation which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail and the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there. Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.

Have a nice weekend and #livefasteattrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp We finally did it: we got access to the production channel on Google Play! A big and heartfelt "thank you" to all those who participated in the closed test program, without you this would have been impossible!

The latest beta has been promoted to the "open testing" track, so that now everyone can become a tester and install the latest beta, which is a preview of the next stable release.

I'll wait until I improve notification support, so probably there is another month or so to wait. Keep an eye on the issue tracker to know what I'm working on, just in case

To try the app, you can become a tester using this invitation link.

Your feedback is important, and now you'll have Google Play's reviews as an additional way to express your opinion. Let me know what you think and always #livefasteattrash

The #Pixelfed client #Pixelix is now available in the official F-Droid repository

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.daniebeler.pfpixelix/

We got some feedback about #Pixelix lately that login is not working on pixey.org and pixelfed.fr.

Turns out that this instances are returning some data as an array, while all the other #Pixelfed instances are returning it as a string.

We already fixed the problem and are shipping the fix with the next update. I will let you know when it's online.

This is not the first time we encountered such a phenomenon. Therefore it is all the more important that you are letting us know when you experience some bugs. We just cannot test all instances and are happy about any feedback. Thanks!
