Hi, mostly small improvements in this release. I spent a bunch of time on a horizontal swipe to go to the next post but it still needs some work. Anyways if you want to check it out it’s under an Experimental tag at the bottom of settings. If you use List view I hope you like this release as I made some improvements to the List view layouts.

What’s new

  • General font size adjustments
  • Comment replies are now selectable when replying
  • Added Reset buttons to all colour pickers
  • Blocked instance comments now have an optional message to show them
  • Improved the ‘Show more comments’ button in some scenarios. Should show on Profile views now too if there are responses.
  • Moved the instance name down from the title as it was getting cut off in same cases
  • Added user tag options to comments and posts action menus
  • Experimental feature horizontal swipe for next post
  • Improved the UX of the list views
  • Added ‘Copy URL’ to image views

Fixes

  • Fixed theme surface and background not resetting
  • Fixed an issue where saving settings would override theme customizations in some scenarios
  • added option to block instances via post options menu
  • Now only one comment can be active at a time, clicking another comment will deselect the previous one
  • Changed user tags to use the tertiary comment, should be more obvious now
  • Clicking the + button to create a post in a community should now autofill that community.
  • Fixed a bug where the reply button wouldn’t work if swipe navigation was turned off.

Question: would you prefer to see a bottom navigation drawer or top level comment navigation (^ prev v next) in the next release?

    Question

    Why not both?

    Bottom navigation drawer, with floating ↑ and ↓ buttons, alongside the Reply / Add Post button.

    I’d even support doing away with auto-hide on the Reply / Post floating button to facilitate this. More often than not, the button is hidden when I want it, and I can’t convince the app to make it reappear.

      What’s the difference between the navigation drawer and floating buttons? Both do the exact same thing or am I missing something?

        I assumed the drawer would be kind of a “bottom bar” , moving some stuff currently in the sidebar menu (frontpage/ profile / inbox / saved / profile).

        It’s also possible I assumed super wrong.
