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
- Showing collapsed comment count - contribution from @micahmo
- Sharing media directly as images - contribution from @michahmo
...and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down 😅

Hi, looks like the matrix server is restricted for posting..
Here are the issue I am still having:
Loading comments on profile page does not load any recent comments.
Replies don't show up / are very buggy in doing so. Clicking show all does not help. It's like the client just gets a few replies to requests for data, sometimes.
This app feels so clean and I want this to be the one that lasts thru the ages so bad
edit:
This should hopefully be fixed with this build: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.7%2B11
The main issue was that the inbox was only fetching x amount of items, and nothing more. I've added the ability for it to fetch more items when you scroll down

A new build again - this one should fix some issues with the comments not showing up on the profile page: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.8%2B11
Let me know if this is working for you! (This build includes the changes I made to the inbox as well)
Sweet. I'm about to leave my computer so I'll leave the screen record I took. I'll check the updated app when I get a chance, but here's what I had jotted down for the vid just in case cuz my original comment didn't include some of it: https://libre.video/videos/watch/38ea4941-dac0-4528-bb77-34931e00814d
0:00 - 0:25: child comment shows on Browser, but not in App's Profile>Comments
0:25 - 0:40: parent comment in Profile>Comments is clicked, Error screen, whole thread is loaded.
0:40 - 1:20: adding 4th child to our comment thread. No bug now with this task, but still does not show in Profile>Comments
1:20 - 1:40: shows bug with displaying Inbox>Replies.
1:40 - 2:00: clicking a comment from this replies page also gives error. Does not scroll to / display reply for you to respond.
2:00 - 3:00: more examples of the Inbox>Replies display issues
3:00 - 4:45: I reply to a nested comment, prompt exits, comment I replied to replaced with spinner, and Disappears ("end of thread").
4:45 - 7:30: I reply to a nested (5th/6th?) comment. Entire thread below the spinner gets cut off.
7:30 - 7:45: had to refresh the whole thread, scroll down, open nests, to find my comment
7:45 - 8:00: still doesn't show in Profile>Comments
Thanks for the detailed reply! I think most of the issues you’ve described should be fixed with the build I mentioned earlier
The comments not showing up is fixed in the update
I am running the latest build published a few mins ago.
I've narrowed down the culprit, I think...
See this comment I made: https://lemmy.world/comment/982778
From the app's front page, from a post I clicked on the /c/, entered a thread, scrolled down to something with a few nests, and replied.
After replied it just reloaded the whole thread, and doesn't show up on my profile in the app. I had to get the link from the browser.
Edit:
This comment also doesn't show up.
When clicking the main comment from the profile page, I get an error, and it reloads this thread
From the profile page I saw your reply when checking "show all" and refreshing, but refreshing a 2nd time clears the whole list
The missing comments on the profile page is noted - this is the GitHub issue on it: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/issues/249#issuecomment-1627488891
Just to clarify, the thread does not update when you press submit when entering a new comment? Does this happen to both the top-level comment (replying to a post) and also sub-comments (replying to replies/other comments)
I'll take a closer look at the inboxing part to see what's causing some of those issues. I probably won't be able to get to all of them for this release, but I'll see if I can fit some of them if they're simple enough to figure out
This seems to be 4 or 5-nest deep so I'm recording this reply now.
e: this reply seems to work fine, going to another nested
