Heyo everyone,

This update brings a few cool new features, most notably:

  • Smart link previews
    • Now shown in comments and posts
    • Previews for communities, users and regular links
  • Image carousels
    • For posts with lots of images!
  • iPad support
  • Layout/ui tweaks
  • Bug fixes and other improvements

Check out this image gallery in the latest build to see how it works:

(just scroll through it!)

I figured (like some other devs) that some iPad support is better than none. Though the layout is not built from the ground up for iPad, it now fills the whole screen and pushes in some content. This is similar to how other apps like Apollo did it, and it looks much nicer than than a scaled up phone app. I haven’t had time to test this version much, so please let me know if you discover any weird stuff.

The update also introduces a custom markdown rendering system that enables me to add things like link previews and image carousels. Seems to work pretty well now, but could definitely be some bugs with it for certain posts - if you find any, let me know!

Hope you enjoy the update!

    May be an iOS 17 issue only, but this update appears to have broken custom text size in the post. The feed text changes, the settings text does, but inside the post the text doesn’t change size.

        Looks the same right now. I’ll see if I can add a photo…

        Edit: can’t add a photo because lemm.ee limits photo sizes to very low levels
