Dear all, I just wanted to say that I am really impressed by the DiCa app: it is very good to a new user (me) in both its simplicity and available features. Really, i am amazed by how well it works, how many features there are, and by how simple and intuitive it is! Keep it like this! I also have a feature request:

am I correct to say that there are now 'tabs' for:

friends (my friends' posts)
public (all Friendica posts) - called community/local on my squeet.me pod
network (all Federated posts) - called community/global on my squeet.me pod
my (my own posts) - called profile on my squeet.me pod
favourites (listing my favourites)

The feature request is to add another tab, for the tab that is called 'Network´ on my squeet.me pod (NOT the same as what you call network in the app, that appears to be all Federated global posts). This tab, on squeet.me, shows my own posts + all the posts related to my saved searches (hashtags i have saved) + all my friends posts. This is actually the tab I use the most by far in my browser, so it would be great if it was also available in the app. Keep up the amazing good work!! Happy to contribute from a user perspective where i can (have no coding experience). Rik

another suggestion: i crosspost a lot to other social networks, it would be amazing if the app would allow me to check and uncheck which social networks to crosspost to!

Hi @Rik44444 ,

first of all, thank you for like our works, appreciate 👍
about now 'Tabs', you're totally right.
i would like to add 'Network' tab, actually implement this function just few minutes work on DiCa; but, it's depends on Friendi.ca server API if support. i'm not sure about this, all DiCa data is come from here, maybe you can check, but i think it's not support yet. you can submit a API feature request to friendica support.
when you submit a comment on play store, we even guess maybe this is what you're request :)

sorry for reply so late, i just got on board for new DevOps job, lot of things need to be learn and pick it up, would have few time on DiCa for now

@Rik44444 Maybe Android KOTLIN is a good start, let's coding together :)

quick answer: it's already have, you can setup SN on friendica, when you submit a post, friendica server will automatic submit those SN which you already bind and configure to share when new status submit.

Already a issue open here https://github.com/jasoncheng/dica/issues/57

Rik44444 commented 5 years ago

hi Jason, thanks for your replies! to answer:

yes it is possible on Friendica to save hashtag searches: on squeet.me , my pod, when i search for something, e.g. #photography, i get a "+" sign in the top right of my screen which allows me to save my search (it says "follow" when i hover over it). When i then go to the tab all the way on the left, with the webaddress https://squeet.me/network , on the bottom left there is a list of "saved searches", where #photography is listed. This tab then provides me with 1) all my own posts, 2) all my friends' posts, 3) the posts that have that hashtag, #photography. Re this new tab, perhaps you can add a 4th category to this: 4) what is currently shown under ''favorites'' in your app (is this function also available on Friendica on the web?
i'm going to look about the Friendi.ca API
i will give the app 5stars on the app store!
re crossposting: you're right, in Friendica you can set the networks to which you want to STANDARDLY post, but i crosspost differently for every post (eg some posts i crosspost to Facebook, others to Linkedin, others to Twitter, and often a combination of those).

best, Rik

hey Jason, i found this in the API:

saved_searches/list (*; AUTH)

This call does not have any parameter.

does this help? i think this refers to the saved searches on Friendica. Does No Parameter mean that there is no API for it? If so, we can ask they guys at Friendica to make that available.

best, Rik

Thank you for helping the comunity

jasoncheng commented 5 years ago

@Rik44444 I just try https://meld.de/api/saved_searches/list , there is no data response, it's empty.

I think it's just a search term list, not status list, and also no pagination there

Thanks 😊

Rik44444 commented 5 years ago

@jasoncheng hi Jason, ok, that's strange, it seems like they do make an output for it, right? Perhaps we should ask the Friendica people. it is correct that it should be just a list, and no pagination, i think for example if the API works as it should, for my profile the API should give you the following list:

jasoncheng / dica

New TAB: User + User's friend + search or Like or Follow status #142
