The main feature of this release is just for moderators. If you're the moderator of at least one community you'll see a new "Vibe Check" section in the sidebar when viewing a user page which is meant to help you identify trolls. When you're viewing a user's profile page, as you scroll (loading additional posts and comments) it will total up everything you've loaded so far, and the scores in various communities. This might be useful if you're trying to gauge the intentions of a commenter and you want to see if they're frequently upvoted in certain communities, or if they're frequently downvoted in other places.
I'm limiting this to just a mod tool, because I know incentivizing paying attention to scores is frowned upon on Lemmy. That's also why it doesn't total up everything (unless you happen to scroll enough to load someone's entire post history), as it's just meant to give a 'vibe check'.
Beyond that all that really changed was some theme changes. The frosted glass backgrounds on cards are more visible (especially in light mode where it did almost nothing), and in light mode the name of the user/community in the feed banner doesn't have a very out of place looking dark text shadow.
That's it for now! Let me know what you think, or if you have any other things that would help you as a moderator!
