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.

    Just commenting to say how impressive and robust the app is considering how new it is. It’s now my default.

    You’re doing great work! You’re going to make the devs from Boost, Sync and like begin to sweat and keep up with you!

    I can only see my favourite subs, and not the main list anymore. Is this just me?

    Also would love to be able to pin and unpin community posts as a start to mod tooling.

    Holy shitballs! You went from concept and nothing, to this, in under 30 days!? We’re not worthy!

    This is a really tiny thing but can the card dividers be removable? I personally think having the cards themselves is enough separation and the dividers end up as visual clutter.

    I’m sure there are people who want them, so could those be made into an option or something?

    Not sure if this is the right place. First of all I’m super happy I can hide posts now also hiding by scrolling past is really nice. However it seems that hidden posts don’t even show up in saved posts. Shouldn’t the saved status habe priority over hidden? I don’t like to see anything twice unless I save it for later but it seems this is impossible right now?

    Thank you so much!

      Hi, thanks for the feedback! That bug will be fixed in the next release (I’m just waiting on Google Play now).

    I’d really really like to seethe domain of external links under the post title. Don’t need a summary or anything, just a general idea of where I’m heading.

    How can I donate money to you? This is absolutely incredible work.

    A couple requests:

    1. When I post a comment, the view should be on the comment I posted, in full view. It shouldn’t require an extra click to continue reading other comments.

    2. Can we get more font size options? Small is too small and medium is too big.

    3. Block community doesn’t always work? I’ve blocked c/formula1 at least 7 times now. I don’t think it was 7 unique communities.

    4. Maybe more theme options? Something in between dark and AMOLED

    5. If I do a search, the back button on the top left of the search results page is seemingly broken (I see it says this is fixed; I don’t think it is?).

      Blocking instances isn’t working for me at all. An instance is showing in the list and I made sure it was spelled correctly but posts still show up when I’m browsing All, etc.
