#AndStatus for android is somehow the only Mastodon client that doesn't lose toots on my timeline or make the timeline jump around every time I load new toots. The ui isn't as good as #Twidere or #Mastalab, but "shows me all my toots and doesn't lose my place" is a non-negotiable feature set.
-
@mastor Yeah, it's highly functional, just not quite as polished as others.
I also like that it caches toots locally. It means server outages don't break scrolling the timeline, and it hides the API limits. I never have to tell it to load more toots, I just scroll and the toots are already there.
I feel like other clients could learn a lot from #AndStatus.

Current version of #AndStatus is 35.06, and it can be used for Android devices v.4.4+ as long as you need. Next version will be for newer devices/firmware, and this is natural cause of software evolution. Sadly, but I also had to buy new tablet for myself in order to use newer applications...

@roka I created the feature ticket: "Maximum size of cached images, Mb" with a default value of 100 Mb
I.e. we may decide to store messages for years, but have a reasonable limit for avatars and attachments.
https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/459
Avatars are much smaller than attachments, so maybe internally #AndStatus will distribute the whole allocated size between them so that avatars could live longer in the cache.
?!

@roka #AndStatus should delete images and messages according to AndStatus Settings -> Storage -> History Size/History Time

While helping one of my friends to make UI of his application more responsive, I found out that #AndStatus needs similar fixes also... As a result of this discovery potentially long file access operations (actually, all file access functions) where moved to asynchronous tasks. And timeline scrolling became smooth!
Please try v.36.09 (currently in beta https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 ) -
Yes, #AndStatus has filters for this. Please see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/279 with exact example for your case.

Less than 10% for #AndStatus. Maybe because recently incompatibility of Android 4 with some #Mastodon instances was discovered... Do you use such device?

Currently I'm refactoring User-related part of #AndStatus data model using recent amendments of #ActivityPub specification, which I initiated: distinction between a User (a real life person or an organisation...), Accounts of this user in concrete instances (Servers) of the global social network, and an Actor - the entity, which is actually present in Activities of the ActivityPub protocol.
Very helpful clarifications, allowing me to express clearly relations between different things inside the application. For example, now I'm working towards creation of views on a User across all networks, logically merging Actors of this User.
As a result, at the first step you will see e.g. actions/messages by andstatus@quitter.no Actor as actions by ONE Actor, even if you see these actions via several Servers, e.g. via mastodon.social and via GnuSocial.no, as on the attached screenshot.
The next step will be to merge Actors of one User into one view. E.g. set andstatus@loadaverage.org and andstatus@mastodon.social Actors as _one_ User. This cannot be done automatically due to current limitation of the #ActivityPub specification, but at least can be done manually for selected Users that you follow via their Actors in different networks... https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4021406 -
On activities in #Twitter. Is Twitter heading to #ActivityPub also?!
...I checked via Twitter's web interface: I do see the message favorited...
and you know, Twitter shows, at least in web interface, your "Like Activity". I need to investigate, maybe #AndStatus will be able to receive such some day... https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4018314 -
And now #AndStatus v.36.06 is available in F-Droid also https://f-droid.org/packages/org.andstatus.app/
Enjoy and give your feedback :-) https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4018280 -

@nestort Yes, in some cases AndStatus doesn't retrieve conversation from a server, but shows only previously loaded messages of the conversation. Now you need to press "Sync" button in the Action bar to get the latest messages of the conversation from the server.
I see that I need to do this syncing automatically in any case, on every conversation opening?!
BTW I automatically monitor "AndStatus" word and the #AndStatus hashtag in all connected social networks using syncing Search timelines, so I received your mentioning AndStatus from several places.
Tip: #Mastodon supports search by a hashtag only, so please use #AndStatus for even better discoverability :-)

I think you need to read this FAQ on syncing in #AndStatus https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/295

In appears that due to recent #F-Droid build server problems #AndStatus v.36.05 build was not prepared for F-Droid users.
Now when v.36.06 has been released (and is available, as usual, here: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 ) I hope that this new version will be more lucky :-) -
@bradfonseca #AndStatus v.36.05 released to Production four days ago, it's available at Google Play and is expected at F-Droid...
v.36.06 is in Beta now with a fix for posted message editing (supported by Pump.lo only) and several permissions removed that aren't needed for modern Android. https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456 https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4005905 -

Such problems could be diagnosed by analysing the application's log. I personally have full logging to files constantly turned on for such cases. More on logging in #AndStatus: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/225

Just installed the latest #AndStatus beta, it's improved infinitely since I last used it!

#AndStatus v.36.04 beta "Activities instead of messages, and enhancements of Notifications" is published at an Open Beta testing channel, see https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
In this beta release:
1. Translations for 6 new languages added and several existing updated. Many thanks to all volunteer translators making this work at https://crowdin.com/project/andstatus BTW it's not too late to complete what's not done yet, please check that site.
2. Fixed a crash in Android 8, when syncing occurred in a background. This was the only problem reported during previous two weeks of beta testing, which confirms my observations that AndStatus is close to be released.
Please report any new major problems to be fixed before a release to the wider audience to https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3995550 -

@thatbrickster Please try #AndStatus v.36 It has several old problems fixed, including:
* messages in conversations now are shown even they are not replies to other messages
* syncing in Android Doze mode improved.

#AndStatus v.36.02 Beta 2 published with updated translations https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/456
See Notifications settings on the attached screenshot https://loadaverage.org/attachment/3969042 -
@hier So far no security updates of #AndStatus itself were ever needed. All security-related changes were caused by changes at a server side, which required network protocol changes for client applications including AndStatus.
I don't think similar protocol changes will be implemented in older versions of AndStatus.
What you may really need are security updates for Android firmware on your device.
