Hi, thanks for all the great feedback on the last release. This release brings hide post functionality and improvements to the about instance page.

We also hit 20k active users! That’s an amazing milestone for only being live for about 2 weeks. I’m going to be working on a ‘New to Lemmy’ onboarding page as Connect is often the first place for new users. Also customization for swipe actions is high on my list to do.

What’s new

  • Smoother swipe navigation on certain pages
  • Fixed typo in Settings page (Affects -> Effects)
  • Made scrolling up smoother in full width view
  • Added ability to hide posts (it’s both the last swipe action and on the hamburger menu)
  • Added a list of communities to the instance about pages
  • Added user avatar to the drawer header
  • Vibrate on comment collapse/uncollapse

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug with getting next page is the entire first page is filtered
  • Fixed a bug for users with >100 subscriptions
  • Fixed a bug with sort values not taking effect -Changed the app name on the homescreen to just ‘Connect’
  • Added a notification outside of drawer
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes comment replies wouldn’t show the comment being replied to
  • Addressing some logo feedback, I’ve removed the outer white ring

edit: 1.0.58 hotfix is waiting on Google Play approval now which fixes a couldnt_load_comment bug.

    Love the app so far…

    I see that after today’s update the images are no longer being cropped, instead the full picture is displayed albeit small to fit the given space for each post.

    Would it be possible to add an option to have the pictures displayed bigger? Right now it you are force to enter a post to see the picture properly. I get that for some it would mean a less clean look but set as a toggle option would be great.

    Would also be great to let the Community name and user name be direct links, instead of now having to press the menu (3 dots) to navigate to the corresponding page.

    An option for the top bar to not dispear when scrolling would be nice as well.

    Also any thoughts on having a preview of how the settings affect post/comments?

      I actually kind of like the current Card View (I was never a fan of how much images were cropped in the previous versions), but I would also like an option for full-height images, stretched to the card’s width. Similar to what we see in Fullwidth view.
