Pretty minor Echo update just released. Much improved error handling and fixes a rare crash. Still more work to do on error handling, but making progress there.

Aiming for the next update to include some major new features.

Full release notes:

  • Improves error handling
  • Fixes rare crash when opening Account Settings
  • Minor design fixes
 

Super excited to announce the release of Echo v1.2. You can find the complete release notes below.

  • Hide Post support.
  • GIF image viewing support.
  • Images now open within an in-app image viewer.
  • Fixes an issue where Open in Echo Action Extension wouldn't work on iOS 18.
  • Fixes an issue where sometimes Open in Echo Action Extension would open page multiple times.
  • Increases margins around content when viewing a post.
  • Increases margins around sidebar content when viewing Server Information.
  • Not showing more menu icon on replying to comment when replying to a comment.
  • Adds project URL links to license details page.
  • Fixes an issue where symbol wouldn't show up next to Server Information button in more menu on Login and Sign Up pages.
  • Adds server version to Server Information page.
  • Now display's error message when trying to login to account that hasn't had the sign up application approved yet.
  • Shows alert describing next steps when submitting sign up application.
  • Adds Privacy Policy & Terms and Conditions links to Settings page.
 

Is there a way to determine if a user sign-up application is pending solely based on the server instance URL and the username?

It looks like even when the application is pending the profile page is created and is live. So that doesn’t really help me determine that.

Thanks so much! 🎉 Native is the only way to go imo 😝. I’ll make a PR this weekend.

Might also have some comments on the Lemmy API eventually, but I’ll save those for a later date haha.

Thanks for all you do for Lemmy.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable and constructive feedback. I truly appreciate it. Some of these ideas are actually already on the roadmap which is why I’m considering making some of those creation features free.

Stay tuned to this community for updates!

Check back in 24 hours or so. If it still isn't available, please let me know.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support. As mentioned, this is only the beginning. Lots more improvements coming 🎉. And if you ever have feedback, suggestions, ideas, problems, etc. be sure to let me know!

This is probably going to change in the near future. A lot more functionality is being added to Echo+, and so a lot of this stuff will probably change soon. A lot of users however choose to only read content from platforms such as Lemmy. So the base app (free) focuses on reaching to reach what the maximum amount of users do on these platforms.

I truly appreciate your feedback tho. It's something I really do take to heart, and will continue to think about and assess. Any updates will be posted at !echo@eventfrontier.com.

Is there a way to get a list of users subscribed to a given Lemmy community? Trying to do some Lemmy wide data analysis using that information.

Or alternatively, is there a way to get a list of communities a given user is subscribed to?

 

Overview

Echo for Lemmy needs to connect to a Lemmy server to function. These servers are Lemmy servers that are responsible for hosting your account, content, and more. Think of your server similar to your email provider (ex. Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, etc.).

Some servers are private meaning that you must get manual approval from the server admins in order to join. Other servers are fully public and you can join without any approval.

What to look for when choosing a server?

When choosing a server, you should consider the following:

  • Reliability: You want to choose a server that is reliable and has a good uptime. This will ensure that you can access your account and content whenever you need to. Server admins are under no obligation to keep their servers online, so it's important to choose a server that is reliable.
  • Moderation: Each server has its own rules and guidelines when it comes to content moderation. Some servers are more strict, while others are more lenient. Make sure to read the server's rules before joining to ensure that you are comfortable with them, and that they align with what you are looking for.
  • Privacy Policy: Each server has its own privacy policy that outlines how your data is collected, stored, and used. Make sure to read the privacy policy before joining to ensure that you are comfortable with how your data will be handled.
  • Language: While not required, it is recommended to choose a server primarily in your preferred language. This will make it easier to communicate with server admins in the event that you need to contact them.

Due to the decentralized nature of Lemmy, you will be able to interact with users and communities from other servers. Similar to how you can send an email from Gmail to Yahoo, you can interact with users from different servers on Lemmy.

How do I join a server?

In Echo, you can join a server by entering the server's URL into the search bar, or scrolling through the list to find the server you are looking for. If the server is public, you will see a "Sign Up" button that you can click to create an account on that server after tapping on the server. If the server is private, you will not see a "Sign Up" button, and you will need to contact the server admins to request an invite.

If you already have an account on a Lemmy server, you can find the server's URL in the list of servers or search for it in the search bar. Once you find the server, enter your login credentials to access your account.

How to create a server?

You can also host your own Lemmy server. This requires technical knowledge and resources to set up and maintain the server. If you are interested in hosting your own server, you can find more information on the Lemmy documentation.
