@MonaApp Sorry if I’m missing it, but is there an option to access the camera when composing a post on iOS? Awesome app btw
@MonaApp I’m curious about the support for non-Mastodon instances. Does this include GoToSocial? What non Mastodon Servers are supported now?
@MonaApp Sync (iPad - iPhone) is off? Just a random and temporary problem?
> Today’s update also adds preliminary support for non-Mastodon instances.
Does this mean you can post to #ActivityPub services like micro.blog from Mona?
@MonaApp I got the sync issue of iCloud error with latest update.
@MonaApp As someone with four devices still on iOS 12 in the household, thank you so much for the extended support!
iCloud reading position sync is now enabled on the latest Mona Beta update. Please update the app on all your devices, because the new sync engine is not compatible with old versions of Mona Beta. This update also resolves a VoiceOver focus issue on Mac.
@MonaApp Great stuff. So when are you going to take my money for this? 😉
@MonaApp I continue to be astonished at your rate of development on Mona. Please take care of yourself and don’t burn out. :)
@MonaApp This is so useful and I can’t believe that nobody except Mona and Ivory has built it!
@MonaApp
@mammoth & @IceCubesApp please also launch this feature 🥺
@MonaApp Thanks for fixing position sync! I also really appreciate Advanced Settings —> Invert Threads on Timeline
@MonaApp Again and again: Thank you so much.
Btw: I would really appreciate if I could set separate defaults for composing posts and for replying to posts. Maybe possible?
@MonaApp A quick question: Is block implemented in Mona (on iOS or macOS)?
I see mute but can’t find the block functionality.

• Truncates long posts on timelines
• You can now send longer posts from supported non-Mastodon instances
• Link preview will no longer be displayed on posts with a content warning
• Fixes incorrect line breaking for Akkoma instances
@MonaApp Thank you for the one time payment. I, for one, do not like being a slave to subscriptions.
@MonaApp Thank you! That change r.e. link previews is excellent news.
@MonaApp Would it be possible to add a reverse flow option so that we can read from top to bottom in time order?
@MonaApp what’s the keyboard shortcut? I can’t find it cause I’m tired apparently😂🤦♂️
@MonaApp Is the function of truncating long texts enabled by default? Now it can only truncate the length by default, can it not be changed?
@MonaApp Nice update! What about new toots count in icon badge? :D
@MonaApp Is there a way to disable truncating long posts and hiding link previews on posts with content warnings?
@MonaApp It has been very good to use since the focus issue was fixed a couple of updates ago on the Mac with VoiceOver.
If you could please bring a shortcut to follow someone or Unfollow? I would be so very happy.
@MonaApp Please add a setting to disable the long-post truncation.
@MonaApp Wow for the first time ever I just opened Mona on my iPhone and it immediately synced and moved to my last read position on my Home timeline.
@MonaApp You should launch this thing man. Call it early access if you want. Get people paying you.
@MonaApp PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:
1. Provide UI to block a user or instance without reporting.
2. Fix the (macOS) image description input bug. Having to paste in spaces sucks.
@MonaApp Is there any timeline on using instance specific emojis? Loving the heck out of the app already! It’s become my goto.
Today’s Mona Beta update:
• Adds more Siri Shortcuts, including getting and setting app themes (requires iOS/iPadOS 16, macOS 13)

@MonaApp With VoiceOver on, the icon for Mona on my home screen actually says “Mona beta,beta.” Same with the notifications it gives me, “Mona beta” instead of “Mona.” I'd remove the word “beta”, but this isn't major.
@MonaApp Will Mona app loads post in the background? Or would it be possible to add an option not to do so? Because this seems uses up quite a lot of data so far.
