This update is focused on filtering content.

This update adds the block list to account settings. The block list is a server sided way to filter content.

This update also adds a number of different client side filters. These include the ability to filter posts by title, community, instance or even the OP’s name. You can filter by either keywords or using regexes. There are also additional filtering options by content type.

This update implements the final core feature on the roadmap. With all of the core features complete, the app is now ready for it’s v1 release.

The next few days will be focused on polish, bug fixes, configurability, QoL changes and implementing minor user requests.

I will also be taking another look at the roadmap later today to organize it as it has grown pretty long.

    Yeah, I think I wasn’t clear enough, here I recorded the odd behavior, seems that it only works fine when you are currently on subscription feed as shown first in the following video https://streamable.com/u56e6s (BTW I just noticed we don’t have a link shortcut in the text editor 😅).

      This is not technically a bug. It’s actually a “feature”. You should think of each of the individual communities on the left pane less as “shortcuts” and more like “tabs”. Each of those buttons actually opens a new “tab”. In your recording when you tapped “all”, you actually just navigated to “all” in the “subscribed” tab. If you press the back button you will go back to the “subscribed” screen. This is pretty confusing I admit. I think I need to add a setting in the future to turn off this “feature”.

      As I’ve said before if you ever needed to go back home in a tab, tap the “Home” button again and you should be brought back to the first screen in the tab. If you press home again, you will be brought to the “Home” tab.

        The less confusing way to implement everything is to only have 1 “tab” and have each of the community buttons in the left pane clear the tab with that community as the base community. The multi tab feature is more powerful though as it means you can browse 2 or more communities without losing your place.

        Alternatively I can keep the tabs feature but make it more clear what is going on by adding some sort of UI on the left pane that shows that you are actually in “All” on the “Subscribed” tab.
