Here’s some cool app store screenshots of the app:
Developing this app has been one of the best development experiences I’ve had, and I feel very privileged and happy to have been able to contribute to Lemmy in this way. Nothing is more motivating than seeing so many people already enjoying the app and providing suggestions and feedback.
I really hope you enjoy Avelon, and I’m looking forward to hearing more about what everyone thinks. Keep the feedback coming!
Thank you, Sigve Rokenes
Visually great. One thing I could not see was the ability to block communities or users for ALL browsing. This has been valuable to filter out bot users just reposting reddit content and also communities that I am not interested in (nsfw that still manages to come through or communities in a language I do not understand).
If you long press/tap the ellipsis button on posts you can block the community. More advanced filtering tools will be coming at some point
