Lots of great changes have been added by our growing team of contributors as highlighted below. If you want to join the team come and say hello at the team discussion on Matrix

Please note that many lemmy servers are under massive pressure today, so you may see many unexpected error messages and silent failures. Please bear with us all!

Updates should appear on TestFlight and Play Store today.

v0.10.5 Release

iOS:

Android:

Hello everyone! We are blown away by the tremendous support from the community! Thanks for using our app and helping beta test as we round things out.

It's been a few days since we've posted an update and the team has been hard at work with a TON of bug fixes and some new features.

Change log

  • Added configuration option to automatically convert .webp images to .png for saving (njshockey)

  • Implemented comment contexts and added "Show context" and "View all comments" buttons (jcgurango)
  • Fixed several issues with comments not loading correctly after posting a new comment (jcgurango)
  • Fixed and updated ModLog Pages & API (zachatrocity)
  • Added menu item to view a community in a specific instance other than the originating instance (jcgurango)

HI, the photo preview height is a bit too low, it cuts basically any meme and force you to click on them each time, can you add an height control or a disabile option in future version?

Also, any way to hide this? I know is a server issue, but can we disable it from showing?

We're gonna shrink it down into a more concise error message for 502s but we're not gonna stop displaying it

Perfect! I like the fact that you're showing the error, so I can know exactly what went wrong, whether it's likely on my side or the server's.

That's great 👍
