Hi, Connect 1.0.63 is our two week birthday (from this post). Hard to imagine it’s only been two weeks. This version brings a lot of new things but the big features would be instance level blocking, ‘show more comments’ buttons to make comment views more compact, new theme options, and the ability to mark a post as read while scrolling.
What’s new
- Added community icons next to names in the main feeds
- Added an option to show @instance labels on all usernames and communities
- Added instance level blocking
- Added dividers between cards
- Create post community suggestions are improved, will now autofill with your subscriptions and suggest a community you’ve subscribed to first
- Added show more comments buttons
- Added option to mark posts as read on scroll
- Added more theme options
Fixes
- Fixed an issue with the profile tab not refreshing in some scenarios
- Changed community icons to be smaller and they should load faster
- Added some new sort options for posts
- Fixed notification icon hopefully (no more blank square)
- Fixed swipe to reply not working from the inbox
- Viewing a comment from your inbox will now remove the comment when you go back
- Improved the tap target when interacting with a short comment
- Fixed an issue with uploading an image in comment view
- comment title text now wraps instead of getting cut off
- Improved memory usage when scrolling through a lot of images (still some more improvements coming on this one, we’re not freeing up images in memory as often as we could be)
- Fixed an issue with NSFW communities not being searchable (and subsequently some link handling being broken if the community is marked nsfw)
- Fixed an issue with the search back button
- Fixed an issue with incorrect passwords if the length is more than 60 (it’s now capped to 60 which is what Lemmy does).
In case you’re wondering what was in versions .60-.62, they were all minor hotfixes that have been combined into this list. Also for those wondering when it’s going to be open sourced it’s coming, I hear you! my focus right now is on adding features and improvements.

Great update guys really love the progress you guys are making. It’s honestly incredible how fast you all are working.
That being said, I have one issue:You save images downloaded to downloads/connectIdk if it’s just my phone or if it’s android in general, but for some reason this nested folder in downloads isn’t seen by apps when I go to post a photo.I was on the wrong update, lol.
Can we
get that changed to pictures/connect, ormaybe have an option to choose where things are saved?Thanks for the feedback! Is this on 1.0.63? The files should be saving to Pictures/connect.
It’d be really nice if we could set the location. Even better if we could set it for each download, e.g. so we could sort & categorize at download time.
Oh dang, I’m a dumdum, I was on the previous update, I must not have checked the settings since the last update there were so many new ones I thought I was on the latest version, sorry for the confusion
