FTFY
This new feature is an absolute game changer!!! Amazing!
Ha. That’ll teach me to reply late at night
Hope you learned your lesson! Lol
Have a good one Laurence. Hope you are doing well and making bank on this amazing app!
Wow, I love this. I’ve generally relied on looking at stuff that hits the main feed to find content but this has opened up so much extra content that I didn’t know existed. Great feature!
Random is also pretty good for discovering new content too
Where do I find Random? Normally I just look at Everything or explore my local instance.
go to More Actions by either clicking the FAB (floating action button in the bottom-right corner of your screen) or […] in the top-right corner. You should see an overlay menu with extra actions, within them you’ll see Random and Random NSFW.
Excellent. Thanks for that.
Oh cool, thanks!
Love having that available! Could you add a search bar in the list, though? It’s kind of difficult finding specific instances sometimes.
Filtering for instances, communities and filters should all be added actually.
