I’m going to be implementing more user requests. If you have any leave them in the comments.
Changes so far:
- Changed the behavior of the navigation menu. If a navigation menu item is currently selected and it is tapped, the app will navigate you to the “home page” of that navigation item.
- Fixed several bugs related to the compose post screen.
- Fixed a bug where the create post screen mistakenly only shows comment drafts instead of post drafts.
- Changed the style of read posts to dim the entire post item. This behavior can be changed in settings.
- Added a setting to control whether videos should auto-play. Default true.
- Added new comment count to posts.
- Added a view to the post screen if there are no comments.
To clarify do you mean just putting a number next to posts to show how many new comments there has been since you last read the post or actually highlighting every single new comment in some way?
Highlighting every single new comment. Boost for reddit used to have this feature.
I looked into this. It looks like Lemmy does not send the necessary information for this to be feasible to implement on the client unfortunately :(.
Personally, I’d love to have a number next to the posts with new comments, but highlighting the comments as well would be rad!
I can definitely add the number of new comments for this coming release.
