the more you get, the less you are.
My pleasure! I did not plan on such a long list of changes, I got a little carried away. I had a list of issues I had noticed over the last couple of months, and I was just planning to address those with this update. After such a long break from the project, I wasn’t in a huge rush to release this update. That gave me the time to work on bigger features like Mac support, and embedded content.
To be fair, that feature list was completed before the surgery. I just had surgery on Monday. I figure if I’m going to be mostly bed bound for the next month, I could put that to some use and work on Arctic.
I definitely burnt myself out towards the beginning of summer, that’s what started my taking a break from development. Then between work, summer heat, and my injury, it took me a while to get back into the groove.
Sorry, it was late when I replied and I didn’t notice exactly what you were referring to. I got sidetracked by the post not showing for you.
This is about the link preview in the post not being blurred. This is not exactly a bug. The issue with blurring content in comments is that there is no way to mark a comment or a link as NSFW on Lemmy. What I could do is add an option to blur all links and images in comments on NSFW posts. To be honest, I hadn’t really thought of this scenario before.
I did some work on this issue last night. I improved the logging a bit so that the error message actually shows the failure reason provided by lemmy rather than just the generic network error.
As for the issue, I can’t seem to track down why that would have happened. I’m on lemmy.world as well, and I have no issue uploading images. I ran some tests today, and I was able to upload some large images. There are some dimension restrictions as well of (10,000 x 10,1000) and (40,000px).
Do you happen to be using a VPN? I know lemmy.world had disabled uploads when using a VPN to help with illegal content being uploaded. If not, then there must be some issue I’m not noticing / experiencing and I’ll have to look into it further.
I did take a long break from Arctic development over the summer and I’m just getting back into it over the last couple of weeks. I’m excited to be back at it, and thankfully the surgery is not too much of an interruption so I can use some of my time off to push out some updates.
That’s possible, it could have just as easily been due to the maintenance I was on the notification server the last few days. I had the server offline several times during maintenance. I believe it is working as expected now.
No worries about the late response, hope you’re feeling better!
Sorry, I noticed this post a little late. I usually get notifications for new posts here, but I believe I was doing maintenance on the notification server when you posted this.
Anyway, it looks like you figured this out already. I would love to include an option to toggle this account setting in Arctic, however it goes against the AppStore regulations. I’m allowed to have a toggle for client side filtering and blurring, but not for changing the account setting. I’ll see about adding a status message in settings to notify users if NSFW content is disabled on their account.
Could you elaborate on the issue you are having with message notifications? I updated the notification server, so it is possible I broke something without noticing. I am actually using a separate server for internal testing of notifications, so there may be an issue with the production server that I am not aware of.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into this and roll out a hotfix as soon as I can. Looks like we are both on the same instance, so it should be quite easy to debug the issue.
I had surgery today, so the update may take a couple of days. I’m not yet sure how the medication is going to affect my ability to focus.
I need to go through this update and do some more testing. I rushed the release a little more than I had hoped so I could try and get the update out before the TestFlight build expired, so I didn’t test it as well as I usually do.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know about this, I’ll let you know as soon as I roll out the next build.
