Hi, Thanks for all the tremendous feedback yesterday. I tried to take that into account and add some of the more requested features. Things to look forward to in this release would be: Improved search options (with tabs for posts, comments, communities, user), user notes section which lets you add global tags to users that only you can see, and report options to comments and posts. I tried to address some of the bugs reported too, and hopefully settings should be working as expected through the upgrade.

What's new

  • Added indicator of how many unread messages you have in your inbox
  • Added 'Open' option to the about instance page
  • Searching for a community with a !community or !community@instance format will now take you there directly
  • Added total user counts to the about instance page Added new search page
  • The info bar on posts now displays above the image when 'Title about image' setting is active.
  • Added user notes (option on the user pages in the top right)

Fixes

  • Replying to a comment should now more reliably show that comment
  • Card views and lists now use even less memory
  • Fixed a left side padding issue in list views when there is no thumbnail
  • Fixed user profile 'Joined at' dates to be more accurate
  • Better handling of different aspect ratios for the user avatar in the drawer header
  • Adjusted some divider spacing on the post details page (reduced some unnecessary white space)
  • Hide read posts no longer applies to the 'Saved' page
  • Toast colour now matches theme

I'm continuing to monitor a subscription issue where some of them don't show up, I added some retries if the API call fails and more error handling.

Theme colours are still unfortunately not wanting to stick. If I change the colours and tap save settings, then back out to the main settings menu and tap save settings there the colours immediately get reset to default.

Regardless of being stuck on the not so nice default colours, this is definitely the best Lemmy app of all the ones I've tried and solidly in the daily driver spot. It doesn't feel like an app that's only been in development a few weeks.

It seems to work for me...

Are you picking a color in the right column? If you're only choosing one of the ones on the left, you're only halfway to choosing the theme color.

Yes, they're changing and will stick until I either hit save settings in the main settings area or restart the app. Seems like other settings aren't saving either, like default sorting.

Yep, background settings still not resolved. Every second time you save the settings, everything returns to default settings
