Release notes at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.36.0-beta-3

There is one interesting feature we didn't add yet for Mastodon quotes: The ability to see all quotes for a message. We will add that asap #Fedilab

#Fedilab 3.35.0 has been published.

This version brings a full support to #Mastodon quotes.

Check the release notes for all details: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases

The combined boost/quote button in #Fedilab looks so smug

I love it

We hope you like the new layout. Details are now displayed on two lines.
The reblog/quote button has a new design.
If you are the original poster, tapping on the quote number will display all messages that quoted your post.

PS: We will fix asap the edit feature which is currently broken.

Thank you for all your feedback! #Fedilab

I will get back to #Fedilab next week, probably mid-week to leave some time after the 3.40.1 release. Mostly bug fixes and small enhancements for a 3.40.2 release.

#Fedilab 3.40.1 is available!

This release integrates #OfflineTranslator as an external app that allows you to translate content offline if you have this app installed. You can also now choose to place the compose button at the top when using reverse mode.
The release also brings several fixes.

Offline Translator app: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.davidv.translator/

#Fedilab already caches your home timeline in the background when you have a good connection. Everything could be transparent: you see messages offline and can interact with them. The app would act like Holos, queueing your actions to process them automatically later when you're back online. Would need some work but seems like an interesting feature?

#Fedilab 3.35.1 has been published:

Added:
- Extend filters to quoted messages

Changed:
- Replace "No one" by "Just me" for the quote approval policy
- Add x.com domain to the alternate frontend URL patterns

Fixed:
- Crash when editing messages

What default policy do you think to set with quotes ?

#Fedilab #Mastodon

#Fedilab release 3.37.0 includes several enhancements and fixes. You might encounter unexpected behaviors that were not caught during tests. Usually, a second release is quickly published to give the best UX. So don't hesitate to share troubles at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/issues

Tomorrow, a new release of #Fedilab will be published, with several fixes and some enhancements.

Did you know that #Fedilab turns 9 next month? Nine years built with your support, your feedback, and your ideas. This app has always been a collective effort and that will not change. Thank you.

#Fedilab 3.43.4 has been published. It mostly fixes bugs and adds enhancements flagged as high priority.

Full release notes: https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.43.4

PS: The Google APK is attached, with their restrictions removed.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/115787546493472485

This is a feature we could bring to #Fedilab

Concerning the grouped button reblog/quote with #Fedilab?

Two features I could add to #Fedilab: the #HolosDiscover API, which helps small instances get more content, and/or an option to follow conversations. You'd be notified of new replies, and it would stop automatically after a while. Both are already available on #HolosSocial

Recent reports I received for #Fedilab were mostly about OOM (out of memory) bugs.
I re-enabled LeakCanary to track them down and fixed four leaks that kept the app holding onto memory while navigating between activities.
People who never kill the app may have run into those crashes. The next release should be more stable.

#Fedilab release v3.35.0 (F-Droid) cannot edit posts. It stores edits as drafts. @apps

#Fedilab 3.43.0-beta-1 has been published in the dev channel. This release now targets Android 16, which is why I'm releasing it as a beta first.

To beta testers: could you check that you don't have any layout issues with this version? Thanks!

Happy New Year 🎊

We wish you health and success in your projects for the year ahead.

#Fedilab keeps our full attention for 2026. We know we've been heavily focused on #Holos development lately, but both are independent projects and each has its place. Fedilab remains our flagship client. Holos explores data sovereignty with on-device servers.

Thank you for your continued support.

I'll soon publish a beta release of #Fedilab with several fixes:

- IPv4 fallback when IPv6 fails (mostly over WiFi, with an infinite loader)
- Cache improvements (faster loads even with a heavy cache)
- Memory leak fixes

The target version will also be Android 16, which removed the edge-to-edge opt-out that Fedilab used.

RE: https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps/116981481074984752

There are three ways to get #Fedilab beta releases:

- The beta channel on Google Play, by opting in from the app description
- #FDroid through our custom repo https://fdroid.fedilab.app
- The APK attached to the release notes

PS: all these APKs are signed by me. If you have an F-Droid version, you first need to export your data in settings, remove the app (due to the signature mismatch), install, then import your previous data from the login page. Everything will be restored immediately.

@HurricaneWeasel joined the #Fedilab account at @apps. You might already know him, he's the same person managing issues on #Codeberg.
His help with the account will be really valuable to me. The idea is to better handle issues reported on the #Fediverse and in our repo.
When we post, we'll try as much as possible to sign our messages. So, welcome Marco and thank you!

We are really happy that #CastLab reached the official #FDroid repo. This was not so easy for us, but thanks to the help of two volunteers, they made it possible. So a big thank you to them.

Concerning #Fedilab, we keep working on fixes and enhancements thanks to your feedback. We already fixed several of them.
