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.

    Any thoughts on why this community, specifically, won’t show up in my subscriptions? I’ve un/subscribed multiple times and it just won’t show in the sidebar. It did before the visible name changed away from the default, but at least in Connect it just won’t “stay” subscribed. The 3 dots menu will show it as subscribed, but if I close the app or navigate away from the community for a bit, it reverts back to wanting me to subscribe. Jerboa does show me as subscribed though, so I’m thinking it might be something with Connect in particular?

    Also, potential suggestion, would it be useful for people to have a quick link to the official community within the app? Even if it was under some kind of help menu. Just an idea.
