New app update out on the App Store, now with link preview cards and post translations on servers that support them!

@sergiodomeyko @Gargron if your device on iOS, try MetaText - horizontal mode working for video and pictures..

@Gargron Awesome! Vielen Dank! And I cross my fingers that you guys can keep the balance between doubling down in these exciting times for Mastodon and writing clean code :P

@Gargron Great! Any plans on a more powerful search in the near future?

@Gargron any plans for the reblog quoting feature?

@eugenehp @Gargron this feature was intentionally left out: «Unlike Twitter, there are no "quote toots" on Mastodon, a deliberate choice to discourage "dunking" on other people's posts.» - CNET
To be honest, it took me a while to get used to, but I actually like it. Reply to enter the conversation, or repost ('boost') if you think more people should read it. #NoDunking

@eugenehp wasn't there a pretty clear statement that @Gargron does not want to implement a quote repost feature?

@jr @Gargron I might have missed it. Where have you seen it?

@jr @Gargron thanks, interesting points. Could be a good moment to revisit/articulate it again, since that post is from 2018.

But I get your point JR, thanks for sharing.

@Gargron Thank you for all the work you do Eugen.

@Gargron Thank you! I’m going to try it (not yet coming to Japanese Store), waiting with hoping setting posting language menu…

@Gargron Fantastic. Out of curiosity, is screen reader accessibility a priority for developers of Mastodon for iOS and Android? Thanks.

@noahcarver @Gargron it is for me at least (I’m an external contributor to the iOS app and I’ve been doing my best to fix accessibility issues). There have been a bunch of improvements in recent releases, and some more in the pipeline, but I’m always open to feedback about pain points or places where there is an opportunity to make the experience awesome 🙂

@Gargron do you have/need pre-release testers using Test Flight?

@Gargron not showing up in the US app store yet, but greatly anticipating link preview

@Gargron Thank you! I am truly grateful that you've create this awesome platform. 🙏 Please also remember to also take care of yourself and take some well deserved rest! 👍 :coffeecup:

@Gargron Hey wait, I was told Mastodon workflow wouldn't allow for updates. Gosh, was that person full of crap?

@eigenman What did they mean by that anyway?

@Gargron is there a trick to getting timeline position synced across devices, or am i missing something obvious?

@Gargron where can I find the latest update on GitHub? Latest release is 1.4.7.

@Gargron is there a way to know or find out which servers support which features?

@Gargron thanks for link preview card. The Andriod app was way ahead.

@Gargron @JohnMastodon John please consider giving Eugen a pay raise for all his wonderful work

@Gargron Can we change post privacy in replies yet? That is a huge oversight.

@Gargron I'm on the #Tooot app. That new "Trending" tab is one super-awesome feature! 🚀✨👍

@Gargron Thanks! I am loving the latest update, especially on iPad!

@Gargron App Store?
Received it tonight via TestFlight

@Gargron i don’t know if this is only iOS but links to posts from the same instance opens the web browser instead in the app… unable to interact with it since I’m not logged in

@Gargron When the creation of accounts on mastodon.social will be re-open?

@Gargron awesome, been waiting for link previews!

@Gargron why am I not able to login to mastodon.social instance using the official app? I don’t see the instance in the list at all

@Gargron it’d be great though if the app didn’t continue to crash any time I try to edit my profile.
I’m guessing it’s whatever accessibility settings combo I use, but can’t really troubleshoot that..l

@Gargron Hi & greetings & thanks for 😃
Can this be a link www.drmotte.de or drmotte.de too? But it’s not… how difficult is it to put it like this?
To write drmotte.de is not user friendly 😊
Thanks

@Gargron Hmmmm... No update is showing over here (Portugal) yet. I waited a bit, but 10h seems too long for it to make it's way over.

@Gargron will the alt text field still be blocked on the iPad? Makes it very hard to enter.

@Gargron hmm also still not available in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

@Gargron the iOS app doesn’t seem to use the full available frame rate.

@Gargron hmm not showing up yet in my US App Store. Can we get an edit button soon? #Mastodon #mastodonmigration

@Gargron Cool! Will this fix the inability to add Alt text to images?
