Any other #Ivory users suddenly having problems with their Home timeline in the past few days?

My Ivory subscription is up for renewal in a couple weeks so decided to give the official Mastodon client (iOS) a test for a few days to see if it works well enough to switch back over.
I could get on with it if I had to, but I’m definitely sticking with Ivory. My main issue is the way the official app doesn’t seem to remember your location in the feed and when it loads new posts, skips way ahead making you scroll back down.

The song charted within the top ten in several countries, and it was the band's biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It won the category Best Pop Song at the May 1983 #IvorNovelloAwards.

@dansup
Hi Dan - I'm experimenting with #Pixelfed accessed via various Masto clients - #icecubesapp #Tooot #Wooly amongst others, but only #MonaBeta and #Ivory will allow me to log in to my pixelfed a/c without getting a "419-Page Expired" error... And only #Ivory will allow me to post photographs.
Is there an API issue with Pixelfed?... And is there any chance you'd be able to fix from your end?
Many thanks for a great federated photography community app! -
Something I didn’t expect with @Mastodon is that I’d keep using + enjoy using multiple #iPhone clients to interact with it. Big shout out to @ivory, and also @tootapp, plus #Wooly by @mttvll. Each of them is a great #ios app on their own both in quality and form but also they have lovely subtle differences in how I interact with my #mastodon timeline. I like the distinctions a lot.
So here’s a big shout out to this app ecosystem. Thank you!

@ivory #FeatureRequest: default Boost/Quote button behaviour
Could we please have an option to set our preferred default action when pressing the Boost button?
99 times out of 100, I’d rather boost and for the one time, I’m happy to long press to choose Quote, just as I am for the other items in that pop up (which I think was behaviour before Masto implemented quote posts, as I keep tapping that button and then sometimes have to come back and tap it and choose boost when I realise I hadn’t boosted).
And I get the tap popup even if I can’t quote due to poster’s preferences disallowing quoting!
Would appreciate your consideration on this.

Ivory Tower – Heavy Rain Review
By Steel Druhm
Ivory Tower have been a minor force in the Germanic prog-metal scene since 1998. I didn’t pay them much heed over the years, but that all changed when I took a flyer on their 2019 album Stronger. Expecting little, I walked into a buzzsaw and was quickly carved up by a highly catchy and memorable platter of vibrant prog metal led by the powerhouse vocals of one Dirk Meyer. It ended up on my Top Ten(ish) of 2019 and became one of my all-time favorite prog-metal releases. Naturally, I wanted a lot MOAR of the same from Ivory Tower. When news broke that Dirk Meyer left the band, I was disheartened, but I didn’t give up the ghost entirely. I still hoped the band could soldier on and deliver something even stronger than Stronger. Jump forward several years and we have their new album Heavy Rain (godawful title). In place of Meyer is newcomer Francis Soto, who’s been around the block having participated in a ton of other acts. Along with the new frontman comes a fresh approach that skews more toward hard rock and Jorn-y soundscapes than past material did. That means a lot of change and adjusting for someone so enamored with the style heard on Stronger. Can the Steel Dude abide?
While I miss the sound from Stronger, what Ivory Tower attempt here is well within my musical wheelhouse. Opener “Black Rain”1 is a simplistic, hard-rocking number that isn’t really prog at all. It’s like Herman Frank or recent Firewind, with Francis Soto serving up a gritty, bluesy roar somewhere between Jorn and Blaze Bayley. I like the song on a surface level but it’s nowhere near essential listening nor the kind of tune you’d seize for a playlist. “Holy War” is a touch more engaging with some big guitar pyrotechnics, but it’s essentially dad rock with a rowdy edge and a beer belly, and as such, it has no business running over six minutes. “Never” is a more emotive variant with a bit of Evergrey’s mope and pomp, but it’s still pretty flat despite Soto putting his back into his vocals.
The remainder of Heavy Rain falls between decent and kinda-sorta okay. Sadly, some of the better cuts are burdened by unnecessary bloat. “The Destination” is a decent piece with heavy riffs offset by sparkling keys and Soto does a good job roaring through the din, but it absolutely doesn’t need to be seven minutes and should clock out around five. Tracks like “Heavy Ride” and “Monster” are solid enough to hold interest but aren’t the kind of songs you’ll need to hear again. “Voices” is superior but gets submarined by a 7-minute runtime when it’s not interesting enough to warrant the length. It’s hard to process that this is the same band that gave us Stronger, as the writing and overall style are so different and sadly, much less captivating. At a zaftig 58 minutes, Heavy Rain feels overlong despite, or because the material is so simplistic. Tightening and reducing would go a long way here.
Francis Soto is a good vocalist and would fit in well with a band like Herman Frank. He’s got a commanding rasp and can emote a bit too. He’s not the ideal singer for most kinds of prog-metal, but then again, Heavy Rain isn’t really a prog album. Sven Böge is a very talented six-string warrior and I commend him for not littering every song with 50 lusty wank-o-thons. When he does go nuclear, it’s impressive, but the focus is generally kept on groove rather than burying the listener under riffs. Where Stronger had many a duel between Böge and keyboardist Frank Fasold, here they mostly stay in their lanes and keep things low-key. This results in an album that feels like it’s holding back, which is noble, but also rather dull.
Heavy Rain isn’t a bad album but it’s mostly forgettable dad/hard rock-infused metal without much to set it apart. It’s a radical dropoff from Stronger and returns Ivory Tower to their normal place in the metalverse. I’m rather bummed out by this development but gravity is a bitch.2 So much for getting Stronger.

@heiseonlineenglish I can't help thinking that Ivor Catt and Sinclair Research were way ahead of the curve with silicon wafers in the 80s.

I watched the #IvoryMerchant film of #HowardsEnd again for the first time since it came out, now 30+ years ago! Lots of people (incl. me) got over saturated with IM films at the time but this one WAS great and still is. Just wonderful acting, gorgeous design and cinematography and the oh so involving, braided, narrative of Forster's and his take on class criticism makes me want to return to his other books. @bookstodon

@ivor @ahnlak #electroverse card / app makes it easier - it does cover a lot of them, and you don't need to be an octopus customer to use it.
All rapids should now take contactless payment though (by law)

@ivory It would be great if there was an option to compress tags. In other words, instead of “#this #that #otherthing #otherthing2 #otherthing3 #otherthing4 #otherthing5 #otherthing6 #otherthing7 #otherthing8” you would display something like “#this more” (where tapping on “more” would expand the list), but only when the tags aren’t embedded in other text (i.e. at beginning or end).
