Hi, Between versions 319 and 343, the app has seen significant improvements in cross-platform federation support (aka PieFed), a more robust alert system, and enhanced link previews.
You can now watch for new content on Communities, Posts, and Persons. When there is a new Post or Comment you will get a notification.
On Piefed instances it will use the native API to get alerts, and on Lemmy instances we poll for updates in the background at the interval you set.
๐ Big New Additions (319 to 343):
Community Alerts & Watching (v334): A major new feature under Settings > Alerts that allows you to "watch" specific communities, posts, or users to receive notifications. Enhanced Federation Support (PieFed/Mbin): PieFed: Added support for Community Topics, improved parent ID resolution, and better voting/profile handling. Mbin & Fediverse: Added specialized link preview tags for Mbin, Mastodon, and Bluesky to better identify content sources. Major Link Preview Overhaul (v324-v325): Link preview cards are now integrated directly into posts and comments. They now resolve internal links (Settings, Multicommunities) and display titles/icons for Lemmy/PieFed users and communities. List Banners (v341): Added new visual banners for the Inbox and Saved pages to improve navigation and consistent look and feel. Sticky Sorting (v320): You can now set and persist specific sort orders on a per-community basis. Sign-In Redesign (v333): The entire Sign-In screen was updated with a fresh, modern design.
Cheers!
Correct, not on the beta. And yes, it's all images consistently. I can view them just fine, it's just the downloads.
