Thank you for the wonderful app. I have one issue though. Since I found it out in Play Store, I uninstalled the alpha version and installed the one on Play Store. It didn't let me sign in saying my credentials are wrong. So I installed V0.2.1-alpha.4+13. And guess what? When I went to login, it said it's already logged in to my lemmy.ml account. Why did this happen?

This is the release candidate 1 for Thunder v0.2.1+13! Given that there are no more major issues present in the pre-releases, this will be the version that will be released to the general stream.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

These are the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release:

• Fixed issue where the app was preventing you from voting or saving multiple things within a short timeframe

• Added subscription icon in post feed when you are subscribed to a given community - contribution from @micahmo

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

There was a big change under the hood to better handle settings. Because of this, I would appreciate it if testing was done on the different settings to ensure they still work as expected!

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

The main things to look for are for bugs bugs and more bugs. There were a lot of new features introduced over the past few nightlies and with them come potential bugs. So do your best and look for any bugs that someone may experience!

There will most likely not be any more additions of features for the next release, just bug fixes for large bugs. I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone that has been working on PRs for this upcoming release, it has been incredible. This includes but is not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D

Another note: I have created a Matrix space for Thunder for anyone who wants to have general chat there or to get replies even faster. The link to it is here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

For things to test out, I would suggest:

• Test out everything you possibly can. Place heavy focus on general and most common actions (upvote, downvote, save, reply, comment, creating posts, etc)
• Look around for any issues with performance overall, or things that seem like they require an immediate fix

Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:

• Added initial way to block communities from the long press menu on posts. Long press a post in the feed page to show an option to block a community. Currently there is no way to unblock a blocked community, but that will come in a future release
• Added a whole bunch of UI tweaks and changes to post page, and in other places - contribution from @CTalvio
• Addition of community and user banners - contribution from @CTalvio
• Added pull to refresh to a few more pages - contribution from @bactaholic

Hello its me again bringing another pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don't mess up TestFlight builds again)

For things to test out, I would suggest:

• general testing of app overall, vote, reply, comment, share, etc.

This is the first pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+11! (if all things go accordingly and I don't mess up TestFlight builds again)

Just an update: I'll have a bit less time this week to work on Thunder, so updates may take a bit longer than before.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Without further ado, these are the changes from last time (based off changelog):

Added

• Added colour to username in comments to distinguish your own comments
• Added option to allow text preview on text posts in normal view - contribution from @coslu
• Added option to share media link or external URL links in the dialog popup on post long press
• Added back featured post icon on posts within a community
• Added ability to customize swipe gestures on comments and posts
• Added ability to develop with hot reload using docker - contribution from @Fmstrat
• Added initial implementation for font size scaling for titles and content - this is very very rough at the moment so feedback is appreciated

• Added option in settings to enable/disable swipe on bottom navigation bar to open sidebar on feed page - contribution from @bactaholic

• Decreased scroll distance needed in order to fetch more comments from a thread
• Improved error messages when more comments fail to fetch within a post
• Decreased number of comments to fetch at a time to improve loading performance
• Posts now load first before comment threads to make viewing posts more responsive

• Fixed issue where markdown links were not respecting "open in external browser" option - contribution from @Fmstrat
• Fixed issue with download media not working on Android for some users - contribution from @minicit

For things to test out, I would suggest:

• general testing of app overall, vote, reply, comment, share, etc.
• testing of custom swipe actions
• scrolling through long comment threads
• changing all of the settings in the setting pages

Question above. Right now if I try to install nightly and I have stable installed I get prompted to update. Are we going to be able to have both installed simultaneously?

Here's another pre-release version, coming in hot

This latest version includes several fixes to the previous one, including:

• Fixed issue where replying from inbox would show grey screen
• Fixed issues with profile posts/comments/saved not showing up all the way
• Fixed issue with "save" being part of Talkback on posts
• Removed saved tab when viewing user profiles (as I don't think thats a possibility)
• Adjusted error messages when creating or editing comments

Again, like the last pre-release from this morning, the goal here is to just test out all of the general functionality and find any major outstanding issues or bugs that may affect a lot of users.

This will most likely be the last pre-release for v0.2.1+9 unless any major issues are noted! I plan to release v0.2.1+9 to everyone either later tonight or early tomorrow depending on if any major issues pop up

Thanks again for helping test these versions out! I really do appreciate all your efforts :D

Hey there, back again with another pre-release version of Thunder for v0.2.1+9! This will probably be the final list of new features that are going to be added in the upcoming release, so it will just be bug fixing major things that pop up here and there.

Note: There is currently a login issue with lemmy.world due to the upgrade to 0.18.1. This is not something on Thunder's end

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Without further ado, these are the changes from last time:

• Added ability to edit your own comments, the action simple replaces the reply swipe action when on your own comment
• Fixed an issue where performing vote/save actions on comments would do it to the first comment in the thread (the parent one)
• Fixed issue where subscribing from the search page would cause an error to pop up
• Fixed issue where setting a default sort option would cause infinite loading to happen

For things to test out, I would suggest just testing out general things like voting, saving, replying, and creating posts, as well as testing out the following things (these are issues which are marked as "fixed" in the issues tab)

• Error when subscribing from community search #160
• Display vote counts for posts #159
• Ability to edit comments #158
• Upvote and downvote buttons feel unresponsive #141
• Increase visual separation of posts in dark theme #137
• Timeouts replace entire screen with error message #134
• Reply button covers text #130
• Unable to exit #124
• Mark as read button on read inbox messages is not functional #121
• Pull to refresh doesn't work on posts #120
• Alternate comment collapse behaviour #119
• Inconsistent haptic feedback when upvoting with gestures # 116
• Add share button to post in list view #106
• Sort by top #101
• Media download button #50
• Stuttering issues while scrolling #24
• Simple way to access a user or community profile #17

I apologize in advance if this is a Lemmy thing that I don't understand but I've been noticing some content differences while using the Lemmy apps. I usually brushed those off as performance or API issues but I can't with this one.

I've been closely following Thunder's development so I was excited to see the nightly community but upon arrival it shows no posts and 5 subscribers. Checking from other apps I can see that there are 2 posts and ten times as many subscribers.

So is it an actual Thunder bug or a weird Lemmy feature ? I thought instances weren't supposed to impact content ?

Here's the first pre-release version of Thunder for the upcoming v0.2.1+9 release!

As always, this is a pre-release version so it is expected that there may be crashes or major bugs introduced.

More details about the pre-release version, changelog, and things to test are outlined in the pre-release notes!

Please comment in this post for any bugs or issues that you find while testing. Thanks!

Hey there, this community is to help test pre-release versions of Thunder!

I will be releasing pre-release versions here so that anyone that is interested can help out with general testing to find any major bugs or issues that would otherwise affect the larger amount of users who are currently in the alpha-releases.

As such, be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly. When testing a new pre-release version posted here, please try to limit the posts to bugs, and not feature requests.

As these are pre-release versions, I will most likely not use GitHub as a way to send out these pre-releases. I am trying to find an alternative site to upload the corresponding APK/IPA files, so feel free to suggest any sites that may fit that purpose!

Thanks again for all the support!

I would also like to ask if anyone is interested in becoming a moderator for this community or the main Thunder community. It has been growing at a incredible pace, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to look through posts and answer all the questions that people may have.
