#Fedilab 3.36.0-beta-1 is available. Full releases notes at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.36.0-beta-1
#Fedilab 4.43.0 clearly improved memory leak issues. The remaining ones come from the ExoPlayer library, which I need to upgrade (a lot of work because I delayed it). This is the library that plays videos and animated GIFs (MP4) in your timeline if you've enabled the option.
#Fedilab lets you see all posts from a conversation through a "mixed" option, and it has for years.
No magic: it combines the posts known by your instance with those that aren't. Unknown ones stay unknown until you interact, then the app handles it.
Mastodon added something similar, but it still depends on your server and on whether someone interacted with the thread first. It refreshes in the background, so you won't see it right away. Fedilab does it from the app, so you get it directly.
Keep in mind that solo devs can only keep going through your help, both financial support and engagement with their work.
This matters even more when they don't rely on big funding.
Only you can make the difference, in every way available:
- Financial support
- Writing a kind message
- Reporting issues
- Telling a friend
And keep being respectful, even with an annoying bug :)
Without it, #Fedilab wouldn't have survived 9 years. Thank you for your support.
Some of you might already be using
#Misskey forks (like Iceshrimp, Firefish, or Sharkey) that already work with #Fedilab. This is because their devs implemented the Mastodon API for broader compatibility.
Our first step was to achieve similar behavior but by fully using the dedicated Misskey API.
Now, we'll be able to add features that are specific to Misskey.
Big thanks to @HurricaneWeasel for the amazing work on #Fedilab issues on our #Codeberg repo!
Your help is invaluable! 🙏
Holos builds are available. Time to get back to #Fedilab issues.
A quick question for #Fedilab users: would you find it useful if I used milestones on #Codeberg? The idea is to group issues by upcoming release, so you can see what is planned for the next version, what is being worked on, and when it should be ready. Your feedback will help me decide if it is worth setting them up.

It seems starter packs are gaining traction across the #Fediverse. #Fedilab and #Holos will support them as soon as they are available.
#Fedilab 3.36.1 has been published. Full release notes at https://codeberg.org/tom79/Fedilab/releases/tag/3.36.1
For #FDroid users, please wait a few days if you don't use our custom repo.
#Fedilab 3.40.2 is available. It's mainly a bug fix release, with one small addition: a warning for expired scheduled boosts at startup.

To #Codeberg users of #Fedilab, once authenticated this link shows the issues you opened yourself. Could you have a look and check if some can be closed? Thank you.

#Fedilab 3.43.3 has been published! It mostly brings fixes. The custom MarkDown support no longer breaks the instance formatting. It also fixes some mentions and links not opening inside the app. The lost position when coming back should be fixed for all timelines, including #GoToSocial.

PS: the attached apk file is the same as the one submitted to Google, you can download it here.
I haven't received any crash reports for #Fedilab since 3.43.2, which fixed memory issues. It's either a major success or a big fail, because I also broke the report system... 🤔
#Fedilab lets you read timelines in reverse order (most recent messages at the bottom). I know "reverse" is not the right word, and some of you called it "natural" or "normal" order.
This feature, and especially its support across Fedilab with all its specificities, was really a lot of work, mostly in fixes. But I think we now have something stable. Thanks for your patience.
Most people know about messages, photos and videos on the #Fediverse. But the #ActivityPub protocol actually defines several object types, each one distinct and more or less compatible across apps:
- Note: short post (Mastodon)
- Article / Page: long text or shared link (WriteFreely, Lemmy)
- Image (Pixelfed)
- Video (PeerTube)
- Audio (Funkwhale)
- Event with date and place (Mobilizon)

Thank you so much @HurricaneWeasel for organizing #Fedilab issues into projects on #Codeberg. Sorting them by category (Quick Wins, UI/UX, Features, Bugs...), you did invisible work that will help me and all Fedilab users. Much appreciated.
#Holos will be available on #FDroid soon, and we hope to get more feedback to improve the project. While #Fedilab uses server APIs, here we can do much more to improve your #Fediverse experience with an #ActivityPub server running directly on your device. We already introduced E2EE DMs and personal identity. We will go further with automatic deletion, even at posting level. You decide the availability of a message. We will also work on interaction controls from #GoToSocial.
In the next release of #Fedilab, the video player will be improved. You will be able to adjust the volume and playback speed.
After a full week of work on #HolosSocial, I will deploy the new relay code tomorrow to support multi-device, and compile the apps.
Next week I will be back to #Fedilab.
Switching too much between projects doesn't help, but spending more than a week on a single project is not a good move either.
Fedilab and Holos are two big projects that deserve a balanced approach. Thank you for your patience.
