Hi, only bug fixes in this release as the feature I’m working on isn’t quite ready yet and I had to set up a local instance of Lemmy for testing purposes without spamming a live instance. Hopefully this means more testing from my side going forward and more app stability. For thumbnails I’m now loading in better compressed images so you should see memory and network improvements, especially on list views where I also scale the thumbnail to the size of the list card, 1MB images are now 10KB in my testing. I changed the upvote colour to more of an orangey colour. It matches the app icon orange now. If you have the setting to open links in a external browser it no longer applies to opening images.

What’s new

  • Upvote colour is now orange
  • Thumbnails are now more efficient (especially list views)
  • Images no longer open in external browser
  • Communities will now respect the ‘Should Launch Externally’ setting on open

Fixes

  • Comment hint text (‘Comment’) now matches your theme settings
  • Comment textbox is now autofocused so no extra click needed
  • Improved the text visibility of the Notificiation icon number
  • List view images are now aligned to the top and not the center
  • Fixed a minor left padding issue on List view body text
  • Adjusted the text for ‘Show Post Bottom bar’ to better reflect what it does
  • Fixed a bug with Subscribe/Unsubscribe not showing correct values in the top right action menu
  • Fixed the error message when unable to find a person
  • Fixed copy url action item for web views

Thank you so much for all of your feedback! A bottom nav drawer seems like the most requested feature currently so please look forward to that! It will have an option to disable for those that don’t prefer it.

    I tried to make some requests yesterday but I couldn’t find the old thread. Sounds like you addressed my first concern but I’ll post them anyway:

    1. Unsubscribing from communities takes longer because the page takes time to realize I’m subscribed and thus should have an unsubscribe button. Maybe always have an unsubscribe button?

    1. Posts and comments I’ve made should still be visible on my profile even if I’ve since blocked the community they are in (I had to log in as guest to find this thread even though I’ve commented in it before, presumably because I accidentally blocked the community?).

    2. If I make a comment, the view should stay on the full-thread view where I was before, not switch to a single comment thread view. As it is now, after commenting, I have to hit back, click the thread again and then scroll down from the top again to find where I left off.

    3. Deleting a comment should be possible from my profile, not require me to navigate the thread it’s in to find it.

    4. Theme color picker doesn’t allow me to scroll all the way down (maybe my phone is shorter/lower res?).

    5. If I am in a page like blocked list or my profile, and I click search, I’m trying to search within that page’s contents, not the homepage.

      Thank you for posting this again! I’ll take a look and see what I can do.
