We're back with bugfixes, bugfixes, a new icon, and more bugfixes! Thanks to all of our wonderful TestFlight members for finding and reporting bugs--we really couldn't do it without you.

Small patch today, but we figured that the fixes are important enough to be worth releasing ahead of our regular cadence.

Features and Improvements

  • Added a new "Classic Lemmy" icon, designed by yours truly, based on the Lemmy logo
  • Refined the onboarding flow. The instance list now only shows the top 30 instances, with the others accessible via search; we've also smoothed out the navigation between pages.
  • Refined the editor. Now it can be pulled down to only cover half the screen so you can see context while you're composing, and it can't be swipe-dismissed so you won't accidentally lose a half-written post.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed images not prefetching
  • Fixed the first ~40 posts not showing up
  • Fixed posts loading after the end of the feed
  • Fixed large posts rendering incorrectly on iPad

Cheers, The Mlem Group

Thanks, the refined editor is awesome!

Great update! Are you planning on adding a hide read post button?

[-] slin@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

This option already exists and can be toggled on/off:

We are! We haven't scoped it concretely yet, but it should make it into one of the next few development cycles.

Edit for clarity: we already have a feature to hide read posts in the ellipsis menu at the top right of the feed page; we've got work scoped to add a button that floats like the jump button which can be bound to that functionality as well.

Yehey thank you! That’s the feature I’ve been missing in Apollo. Glad to know it’s coming to one of my most favorite lemmy apps

[-] cribble@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago

I’m enjoying the app more and more. Awesome

Thanks! Thoughful update, do you hace any ETA for better gif support?

[-] ericbandrews@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

Right now we have a draft implementation--it's currently very rough (not even in the dev build yet), but progress is definitely being made. It is not scoped for the next TestFlight release (Oct 1), but we are hoping to have it in the following one (Oct ~15). That being said, these are estimates and not promises--it's a complex, sophisticated piece of code and delays do happen.

Thanks for the heads up!
