Ivory v2.5 is now available in the App Store!

@ivory I just tried sending myself a rich text/markdown post from my alt account (on a gotosocial instance, which supports markdown) to this mastodon account, and it’s not rendering as expected. I also tried sending similar from mastodon to gotosocial with the same results.

Am I missing something?

@ivory

It completely locks up my app when I click it!

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@WiteWulf It's read-only support for now. We can only support what Mastodon officially supports and so composing is not a thing yet. When they support it, so will we.

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@lunchb0x_b What app and version number?

[witewulf@cyberplace.social]

@ivory ah, cool, gotcha

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

I’ve updated to the latest.

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

Ivory for iOS, version 2.5.

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@fd0 How long ago was this? No idea if it's any better, but it does work well with most ActivityPub services that align well with Mastodon. We've heard it works pretty well with GotoSocial, Misskey, and Pleroma. Officially, we only support Mastodon. It would be a daunting task to support others too.

@lunchb0x_b 2.5? Try restarting the app and trying again?

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

I had no choice but to do that like five times because the app kept freezing. I’m lucky it even let me click on the comment icon. Even swiping to open the post froze it up.

@ivory love it! Congrats!

[fd0@mastodon.nl]

@ivory That was until say 2 months ago. I moved to a Mastodon instance. Will try later again on my own #snac2 instance, which is still there

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@lunchb0x_b Can you try restarting your device? You are the first to report this issue and it sounds very weird. Is it only happening with that audio post?

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

Yeah, that’s all I’ve noticed so far. I’ll restart my phone and report back.

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

That fixed it! Thank you!

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@lunchb0x_b So weird! But glad it was resolved. Must have been some system audio issue going on.

[lunchb0x_b@mstdn.social]

@ivory

I’m still having issues with pics and videos not always loading though. Even my own do it, so it’s not a server issue.

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@fd0 Ah ok. well it wouldn't have improved in the past 2 months. We made big changes a year or 2 ago that greatly improved support for a lot of ActivityPub services that worked very similarly to Mastodon.

[bmebenji@mstdn.social]

@ivory This reminded me how much I love Ivory’s sound effects even though I turned them off

[ivory@tapbots.social]

@lunchb0x_b When you noticed that happening, we recommend checking your instance website at that time to see if the experience is similar. Next step would be to try the official Mastodon app or IceCubes to see if it's happening there. There's really no issues with loading media in Ivory (at least not at this time). If it was an issue in the code, we'd get many reports about it. It's usually something else going on. But we are always happy to try and help troubleshoot the issue as best as we can.
