SN release: account switching, anon edits, video uploads, bugfixes

This release:

Account Switching

You can now switch between accounts without logging out. Use the switch accounts option in the profile dropdown for that. This currently only supports login with lightning or nostr.

Anon Edits

If you created an item as @anon, you now have the usual access to edits within 10 minutes.

Video Uploads

You can now also upload videos. Supported file types are mp4, mpeg or webm.

Bugfixes

If you had someone replies to someone who replied to me enabled in your settings and subscribed to someone's comments and that someone replied to you, you received two push notifications for the same item; one for the reply and one for the subscription. You will now only receive one push notification in that case, just like the notification page does.
We accidentally deleted receive wallets on logout. We only intended to delete the spending credentials that are stored on your device on logout to avoid sharing them with someone else if you're using a shared device. We now correctly only delete these spending credentials on logout. Receive wallets are stored on the server and will now still be there when you log back in.

Other Stuff

Media content can now show up next to each other, see #683474 for example. It used to use one line per image/video.
The free upload quota has been increased from 50 MB per day to 250 MB per day if you're logged in. After that, each upload costs 10 sats until you hit 500 MB. Then each will cost you 100 sats until 1 GB after which each upload costs 1k sats. Uploads for @anon always cost 100 sats. Uploads are still deleted within 24 hours if they aren't used in a SN post or comment.

This currently only supports login with lightning or nostr

Does this mean you only see the option if you’re using one of these methods? Or will you see the option regardless but it won’t work if you aren’t using one of them?

The account that you're currently logged into can use any auth method but the account you want to login as must support either lightning or nostr. Setting the required cookies for this to work wasn't as easy for the OAuth providers and email.

Yea, that makes sense. Thank you!

Follow up: if I switch from an account with only email to one with lightning, does that mean I can’t switch back with re authenticating?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @ek OP 13 Sep

No, after you used switch accounts to login as another account, you can switch between them without reauthentication required. You can simply click on the account you want to use:

once you upload a video, can you reuse the same link, so no need to re-upload?

43 sats \ 2 replies \ @ek OP 13 Sep

Yes, unless you're @siggy47, then it might not work (#683221).

@siggy47, I'll look into it now

Account Switching

Is this meme still valid for the "account switchers" ?

121 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek OP 13 Sep

In theory we could know which accounts are linked since your browser sends all linked accounts on each request to the server. We're using a "pointer cookie" to determine which account from all available ones will be used on the server.

LOL I should make another meme with "account switchers" now 😂😂😂

This actually makes me ever so slightly uncomfortable…

Good one! Testing video upload

seems like we're missing some margin between text and media content

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Sep

I usually put a line break between.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 13 Sep

Yeah it's tricky. We have 3 different media "modes":

alone, surrounded by no other media or content (double newlines between it and other non-media content)
adjacent to other media each in their own p tags (double newlines between them)
adjacent to other media all in the same p tag (spaces or single newlines between them)

The post above covers an edge case I didn't cover (it's very tricky without preprocessing): non-media elements in the same p tag as the media.

Good one!
