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.

#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

What default policy do you think to set with quotes ?

#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.

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?
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 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.
#Fedilab remembers your position (and updates your Mastodon marker, so you can keep the same position between apps). Of course it has a limit when cache is enabled. If you have an active Home timeline, the app will remember your position but you might end up in a gap where many messages are no longer available on your instance. We introduced background Home retrieval while you don't use the app. It's not perfect but it helps. Otherwise, you can disable cache in settings.
It seems that the reverse timeline is something that meets a lot of expectations. Since the last release, a lot of bugs/enhancements have been reported for this new feature. The goal will be to have #Fedilab 3.37.1 working nicely with the reverse timeline.
Thank you for all your reports.
Since using the reverse timeline feature in @apps Fedilab, thr position of timelines is not properly saved when i restart the app. Not sure if related or just coincidence.
Can anybody confirm this?
#Fedilab 3.37.1 has been published. This release fixes bad behavior with reverse (aka normal) timelines. Also, if you filter links, the app will also check those embedded in href tags. Reported bugs have also been fixed.
