Hi, this update is mostly focused on some performance updates to Image rendering and memory management. I stripped out the old plugin I had doing this and am now handling things a bit more manually. Hopefully this should improve the experience of long scrolling sessions. I did refactor a lot so if you see any bugs here please let me know! Large new additions in this release are URL domain filters, and video zoom. I’m starting work on settings import/export but it’s not ready just yet.

Added

  • Added URL Domain filters
  • Added video zoom (double tap, pinch)
  • Added a link icon to posts without thumbnails
  • Added None as a comment long press action
  • Better handling when proxied comment resolve fails

Fixed

  • Fixed voting on posts refreshing the video player
  • Fixed some issues with image heights not fitting correctly
  • Minor hotfix to change the link icon on posts to be centered and not left aligned
  • Improved the list of subscriptions for large lists
  • Fixed an issue where images would sometimes not free from memory
  • Fixed photo view not expanding
  • Fixed a small screen flash on image expand
  • improved performance of large images
  • All Snackbars now last for 5 seconds
  • Fixed markdown not loading in some cases when it should
  • URL confirmation prompt now also applies to external links
  • Fixed an issue with switching accounts when uing an email to log in
  • Fixed an issue with Spoiler tag sometimes not appearing
  • shouldInstanceBlockIncludeUsers no longer defaults to on
  • Fixed reply swipe gesture
  • Improved freeing of memory in some cases for preloaded images
  • Fixed comment navigator when showing all comments
  • Create comment screen no longer has discard prompt if drafts are enabled

Thank you everyone for all of the support and suggestions, please keep them coming and we’ll continue to make Connect the best app for browsing Lemmy!

        Is that on all posts from the All feed or only specific ones? You could try 163 on the beta channel but I’m not sure that will fix the issue.

          It seems to be for all of them, but I’m wondering now since I spend most of my time on the all feed. The way I’ve been responding to comments is by finding the post and then scrolling down to find my comment. I’ll try 163 and let you know

      The most current version that was available to me at the time was 159. I have 160 now and it seems to be functioning correctly!
