This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.2.5! This nightly introduces quite a number of new features and adds more compatibility with Lemmy 0.19.x

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Please check out GitHub for the full changelog since the last general release. For those on TestFlight, you will receive the pre-release update once it has been approved by Apple.

Some notable changes to test out:

  • New search changes and additions. The search page now supports communities, users, and comments.
  • Opening and sharing links to Thunder on Android. You can set specific urls to be opened in Thunder by going to Settings -> General -> Links -> Open by default

This app keeps getting better. However I get a blank page when I go to General settings in this release.

Hey there! This has been noted on GitHub here. This is most likely because the “New” sort option is missing on the latest build. See my comment on the issue page for a temporary workaround while this gets fixed.

I’ll try to push a new build within the next few days time to resolve this issue!
