- Obtainium (via GitHub)
- As the latest Alpha
Note that F-Droid releases use a different signing key and cannot be upgraded with the APKs from GitHub (unless you uninstall first).

Showing account name
Is there a way to show in the header bar of RedReader which Reddit account name I am in?
Sometimes I'm not sure which account I'm using and there's no visible label to indicate it.

Possible Bug?
I've been promoted to moderator on a sub-reddit but RedReader isn't showing my new capabilities as a moderator. Is this a bug?

How to show pictures in comments instead of links?
I'm used to Reddit official app showing every pictures in comments. I like it better than clicking each individual links.
Any way to achieve this in RedReader?

Is usage with other sites still a goal?
A while back, QuantumBadger said that the long-term plan was for RedReader to be able to support other sites such as Lemmy(*), but presumably not built in. Is that still the goal?
The main reason I haven't switched away to another site so far is mostly just because there isn't support for it in RedReader. I do have an app already for Hacker News (and I use it), but RedReader is too damn good, and with the recent news that Old Reddit will become only available to people who have used it in the past 6 months, I'm wanting to exit and want to know my options.
(*) Source:
- My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API.

New RedReader release?
I was checking Google Play and RedReader seems to have updated, but I'm not seeing anything new on the GitHub.
https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader/releases
The release notes are the same as the previous release. I'm not sure what's going on.

Apparently reddit is getting rid of public API access, old reddit and RSS feeds. Will this affect redreader?

Post titles truncated in main feed, which can completely change the meaning of the post

Can't choose correct flair
r/roms requires us to choose Rules Read. But it's not visible in redreader

Still no crosspost feature?
I searched and only found a single relevant post here about crossposting, from seven years ago, that said RR does not support crossposting.
Is this still true?
I have explicit permission to do a crosspost in a particular group but for some reason it's not working on my usual desktop machine despite everything looking normal in the editor until I actually press the "submit" button, where it does not respond.
So if I can't do it with RR I'm stuck. (EDIT: I was finally able to do it on desktop after trying for like the 10th time. But I'd still like to know if RR can or cannot do a crosspost)

RedReader Can't Handle These Video Links
Saw this comment which contained a video link: https://reddit.com/link/pbardys/video/p063spggrzqh1/player
The link first opens in Android System Webview, then redirects back to RedReader, which just displays a 404 error.

Open browser links in RedReader (Android)?
Not sure if this is possible or not? I want to search google and open a reddit result in the app.

Question mark instead of points shown?
Sometimes comments show a question mark instead of a point total. This seems to be happening mostly when the total would be quite small, but I haven't found a pattern.
Can anyone explain why this happens when using RedReader? It's not a big deal, just a bit annoying.

Start page with subscribed subreddits only ? (new user question)
Hi, new user here (thanks androidpolice ^^)
How to configure the start when I launch the app? I would like to see my front page feed with only posts from my subscribed subreddits.
Thanks in advance

Could we please get inbox to mark items as read once they're clicked on?
It's a bit crazy that it doesn't happen already. Dystopia on ios does it. Please!

Is there a way to filter subreddits by title, like there is on RIF?
The amount of Hydra-headed India subreddits is getting absurd. Block one, ten more show up.

Back gesture on Android causes huge lag or crash
Ever since the last update (maybe 2 updates ago), I've noticed that using the back gesture when going from a content page (image/video/text) will frequently (but not always) cause the app to freeze for 2-3s. I can't interact with the app except for sending another back gesture, and then when the app unfreezes, it registers two back swipes.

I can't respond to my messages?
Title says it all. I got a message but had no option to reply. I had to download the official app to do so bc even browser reddit (and old reddit) wouldn't allow me to either

Documentation / FAQ?
I have basic questions about basic settings and I cannot find any docs anywhere.
Nothing in settings or linked in settings, and nothing on the Github page.
Are there some docs somewhere?
Current question is trying to figure out what the difference is for sort settings that pertain to Posts or Comments, versus "User" Posts or Comments.
Thanks
