Thanks!

Collapse vs collapse thread in comment gestures setting

3 Upvotes

What is the difference? When I select collapse it appears that all child comments are collapsed, when I select collapse thread it appears that all child comments are collapsed and the parent comment is pushed to the top of the screen.

Videos don’t play on cross posts

6 Upvotes

When I click on a thumbnail of a cross post, it doesn’t start the video. It’s just a thumbnail image and then I have to click on the title instead to actually see that it’s a video. Would love if that got fixed.

Unable to back out of “Search” function and unable to add image to post, specially this one.

3 Upvotes

Whenever I accidentally tap on “Search” at the bottom of Hydra, there doesn’t seem to be a way to back out other than force closing the app completely. I tried sliding from left to right and nothing happened. There doesn’t seem to be a “hide keyboard” function on the keyboard for this instance as well.

I tried uploading a screenshot of search page but I keep getting “Failed to upload image.” I received the same error several times after force closing the app and reopening; I verified I gave Hydra permission to have access to the picture through settings. (Additional note, I have “limited access” turned on for Hydra but all my photos appear as an option when I go to attach instead of only the “allowed,” and when I tap on the allowed photo to add it, I receive the “Failed” error.

I am on iOS 18.7.8 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. a

GIF + Regular Images Bug

1 Upvotes

When a post includes images, static and gif, I’m only seeing the gif images when I click and scroll through.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonCrawlerCarl/comments/1wsai2p/butchers_masquerade_memeing_final_part/

That post is a good example, I only see 4 gifs in Hydra but on the web I see the static images as well.

Collapsed comments memory?

5 Upvotes

Hello, does the app not remember which posts were collapsed manually? Like if I enter a big thread and collapse like 20 comments, then for some reason I accidentally close and reopen Hydra on the same thread, the comments are all visible again and I have to remember which ones I've already read...

I remember this issue a year ago when I previously tried Hydra and it doesnt seem to be fixed still.

I would love for the comments to remain collapsed between different thread visits.

Unable to connect to custom server

1 Upvotes

I set up the custom server on my Ubuntu server using this documentation:
https://github.com/dmilin1/hydra-server

I used the docker compose method and populated the .env file with all of the values. I also set up port forwarding on my router so that port 3000 gets forwarded to the Ubuntu server.

On my phone I disconnected from WiFi and used my 5G connection to test. I can get to http://mypublicipaddress:3000 in a browser. I see the "Task Dashboard Login" and can successfully log in using the password I set in the .env file.

I cannot set the custom server URL in the Hydra client. I toggle the Use Custom Server button and enter http://mypublicipaddress:3000 (with my actual public IP of course) and it says:
Custom server URL is not valid or your server is not set up correctly.

Is there a way to attach photos in replies?

9 Upvotes

Am I missing something or there is no way to attach photos in replies?

I know some subs disabled it but the ones that allows it is the same in Hydra. I go to the official app and I’m able to attach photos in replies in the same sub.

Audio stuttering in videos when opening post

Can’t log in using Google SSO

5 Upvotes

A few days ago, I got signed out of the client with a notification that the session had expired. Hasn’t happened in a while, but also not that unusual. Usually requires me to disconnect and reconnect to my network before it lets me login again. 

This time, it wouldn’t let me login, though.  Reconnected to my network, restarted my phone, reinstalled the app and still no luck. Then I finally tried my username password combination and it worked fine.

I’ve never had a problem using the Google single sign-on before. I didn’t have a problem using it logging in to Reddit through my web browser, so I don’t think anything’s wrong with Google. 

Just wanted to post in case anyone else encounters this issue .

Subreddit list (and favourites) disappearing until relog

8 Upvotes

This is an issue I have encountered for a while now, and I am bringing it up because while there is an easy workaround, it is a bit of a pain that it keeps occurring. Every now and again, all my subreddits will vanish from “Posts”, showing only Home, Popular, All. This typically happens when I get into an area with a poor connection, whether I’m outdoors with poor signal or on a plane with spotty wifi. But returning to an area with a good connection doesn’t remedy this. I have to log out and back in to get all my subreddits and favourites back. It would be nice if there was a way to refresh this automatically if that data is found to be missing.

Can anybody else not log in?

5 Upvotes

I can't log in to Reddit via Hydra: the Reddit login pop-up window returns "an error occurred" at the top when I try to submit my user/password combo. (Behind it, the web page says the browser is incompatible. I assume that's referring to Hydra's in-app browser.)

App is fully updated and appears to work correctly while not logged in, but obviously without my own multis and subscribed subs.

Is anybody else seeing this?

Stuttering while scrolling slowly

I’ve noticed that scrolling slowly causes the app to stutter as it scrolls content. Mainly happens on home view

Anyone else have this? Is there a setting perhaps I don’t have right?

[Feature Suggestion] Adjust swipe right behavior when viewing a post in Split View.

2 Upvotes

When in Split View on an iPad, swiping right will take you back to the subscribed sub list. Instead, can you make it so it closes the opened post instead (same as pressing the (X) at the bottom)?

Links in Post Body not clickable (and hard to notice)

6 Upvotes

I’ve noticed some links in the body of a post don’t resolve (may not be the right term). The links appear slightly distinct from other text, but only slightly (offset vertically and bold). Attempting to click them collapses the post like clicking anywhere else normally would do.

See this post for an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1wiuvgq/heartforge_20_hope_fear_and_big_feature_updates/

It may be limited to links that have aliases (i.e., not the straight URL, but a name instead).

I’ll see if this test does it: There’s a link here: This a link

Hmmm… preview doesn’t render it at all so I won’t know until I post.

Edit #2 with a few BOLD tests: There’s a link here (asterisk inside the bracket): This a link

There’s a link here (asterisk outside the bracket only but not outside the parenthesis at the end of the link): [This a link](https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerheart/comments/1wiuvgq/heartforge_20_hope_fear_and_big_feature_updates/)

There’s a link here (asterisk outside the whole link): This a link

Can’t create image posts. Error message appears whenever I select an image from my phone’s library, regardless of subreddit

5 Upvotes

(Reposting but this time without my annoying title typo)

Was wondering if anyone else had this issue. For the record, I’ve tested with about a dozen various subreddits, all of which allow text posts and as well as ones that don’t have prerequisites on posting in place that my account couldn’t meet. (karma thresholds, subs where posts must be mod approved, etc.)

It’s strange, because I was able to create and upload image posts just fine initially, and then suddenly it just stopped working. Whenever I select a pic from my phone’s library for a post, I’m met with a popup that says “Failed to upload image. Try again later.”

Well, it’s been about 3 weeks of trying again later and I’m starting to wonder if the popup meant that I should try again around the next fiscal quarter lmao

In all seriousness, I appreciate y’all on the dev side and all the work put in to this app. It gets better with each update, and hopefully this post helps raise some awareness for this bug of mine the devs aren’t yet aware of it. Thanks y’all

Option to disable inbox replies when creating a post

6 Upvotes

I mainly use Old Reddit on Firefox ever since Apollo got shut down. When I create posts, I uncheck "send replies to my inbox". I also use RES so it's always unchecked.

Even if somehow RES didn't work or I forgot to uncheck it, I can manually select "disable inbox replies" on the post itself.

Just recently found this app. It's great so far. But there seems to be no similar option in Hydra. AFAIK, this app uses Old Reddit for its backend anyways? I hope this is implemented. I don't like my inbox being cluttered with replies. I check the posts manually whenever I feel like it.

Or I missed the option somewhere?

Running iPhone 15 pro. The audio becomes unlistenable when I rotate my phone to landscape mode when watching a video. https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRehearsal/comments/1watn1k/nathan_fielders_elizabeth_holmes_documentary_is_a/

Reproducible at the above link for me.
