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.

    The new icon doesn’t seem to be adhering to the icon borders of the system on my Samsung phone.

      I think it actually is? You can see slivers shaved off the top/bottom/left/right.

      It’s just that the main areas that get chopped off don’t exist on a round icon.

        Ah you’re right, I think the black border is what made it seem like it wasn’t there. I haven’t tried but I wonder how it will be with custom colours set in Android. Would be nice to follow the material design colours that are set!

          It seems to use the material design colors on my Pixel 6a.

          I also see that green system color throughout the app.
