First off, the icon contest is now closed! Thanks to everyone that submitted. Seriously, thank you. These are really awesome and it’s so cool to have icons created by the community. Next step: I’ll nominate 3 icons by end of week (hopefully sooner) and create a thread for the community to choose the winner :) More info to follow. https://lemmy.world/post/1287799

Next off, version 0.24.0!

Another release with some anticipated features!

Mark posts read on scroll

(disabled by default) you can now setup posts to be marked read when you scroll past them! This is a cool feature but will become even more useful when “hide read posts” is finished later this week.

Android mode (beta)

There’s now a setting to enable Android mode! Please keep in mind that it’s a beta isn’t finished! This is mainly getting the setting enabled so we can improve the styles and iterate. :) Let me know what you think! Do you prefer the iOS theme on Android? Do you prefer the Android theme on iOS? 😈

Show user instances

Did you even find it annoying that you had to tap into a user to determine the instance they’re on? Well now there’s a setting to show the instance URL of all users that aren’t on your instance! Super handy, thanks @rsammelson!

    Much prefer the Android look (I’m on Android). If you’d asked me before making the change I wouldn’t have said I cared but I now realise that before it had a slight feeling of “clunkiness” because it didn’t quite fit with the platform. It does now!

    When it’s out of beta are you going to select Android mode by default for Android clients?

      To me both are nice. But Android of course is more aligned to the other android apps. So once Android theme goes out of beta I’ll switch permanently.

      I’ve been on Android for years now. But I’m confused, what makes the Apple version more clunky? I prefer it. I’m actually not really sure why there’s a need for two versions. What is it exactly that makes it an Android version?

        It’s not actually clunky in behaviour - it works the same. It just has an inconsistent look and feel with the rest of the platform that made it feel a bit less nice.
