Hi, Today’s update brings an improved community list in the drawer, block list management for users and communities, ability to hide read posts, and various minor improvements/fixes. You can also now view the about page for Communities as well including subscriber count, active users, and number of posts.

Thank you as always for your continued support and encouragement! The feedback has been very helpful in improving Connect. I hope we can make this the best way to browse Lemmy.

Still on the hunt for a new app icon, if you know a designer please let me know!

Changelog:

  • Inbox now refreshes after marking all read

  • Made the drawer lists more compact

  • Added option to Hide read posts

  • Show post titles when viewing a user’s comments in user view

  • Disabled loading more comments when scrolled to the bottom of posts as it looks like comment pagination isn’t working properly on 0.18 and resulted in duplicate comments.

  • Added indicator that a post has been read, the text will turn grey.

  • Added pin icon to featured posts

  • Added About Community view to see the details of a community

  • Added instance names in drawer and community search suggestions

  • Added share links to communities, comments and posts

  • long pressing a post thumbnail will open the url in an external browser

  • Added white background to web views to make text more readable

  • Added block list management for users and communities

  • Fixed a create post error on some communities (JSON relative path error)

  • I’m now precaching some API calls so it should load things even faster

  • Added de-duplication on post list API calls to remove some duplicates that were showing up due to the pagination implementation

  • Fixed a bug where viewing a comment thread would show all comments

      Hi, yes I think I have a fix and will be rolling it out in the next couple of days. Just need to find a way of testing it.
