Hi, Thanks for all the tremendous feedback yesterday. I tried to take that into account and add some of the more requested features. Things to look forward to in this release would be: Improved search options (with tabs for posts, comments, communities, user), user notes section which lets you add global tags to users that only you can see, and report options to comments and posts. I tried to address some of the bugs reported too, and hopefully settings should be working as expected through the upgrade.
What’s new
- Added indicator of how many unread messages you have in your inbox
- Added ‘Open’ option to the about instance page
- Searching for a community with a !community or !community@instance format will now take you there directly
- Added total user counts to the about instance page Added new search page
- The info bar on posts now displays above the image when ‘Title about image’ setting is active.
- Added user notes (option on the user pages in the top right)
Fixes
- Replying to a comment should now more reliably show that comment
- Card views and lists now use even less memory
- Fixed a left side padding issue in list views when there is no thumbnail
- Fixed user profile ‘Joined at’ dates to be more accurate
- Better handling of different aspect ratios for the user avatar in the drawer header
- Adjusted some divider spacing on the post details page (reduced some unnecessary white space)
- Hide read posts no longer applies to the ‘Saved’ page
- Toast colour now matches theme
I’m continuing to monitor a subscription issue where some of them don’t show up, I added some retries if the API call fails and more error handling.

Honestly, I installed Connect while I waited for my Reddit app to be ported to Lemmy.
Now? I think I might stick with Connect altogether. The speed of development, listening to requested features, and communication is unreal. Every time I think of a nice feature that would take 2 months to show up on other apps, I come here and see an update saying that it’s been added. I’ve only been here for less than a WEEK
Connect is awesome.
If it ever gets multi-column for tablet use, it would totally dominate for me. That’s the major feature I miss from slide and sync.
Well, that and the tabbed viewing from slide, where you can swipe through your ordered subscriptions from the top of the app. But that’s really only useful once you have the ability to order your subscriptions at all.
Yeah, I know what you mean, it’s going to start getting a bit too good to leave…
I’m doing the same thing. Connect is as good if not way better than anything coming. It’s great to watch the new features get added and refined.
It is crazy how many times I have asked, or seen someone else ask for a feature, then the dev replies promptly and adds the request in the next update or two!!
