This is the third pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+12! This nightly adds a ton of improvements to UI and UX, and includes some major features such as the ability to add images to posts, an overhaul of settings page, and more!

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

These are some of the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release. For things to test, I would suggest all the usual actions, and all the new features/changes which have been introduced in this nightly:

  • Fixed issue where Thunder would always start up in dark mode - contribution from @micahmo

    Um. If you disable post swipe gestures comment swipe gestures are supposed to work but dont. You are left in a state where you cant reply to a comment without enabling show comment action buttons. You can long press it but you cant upvote, downvote, or reply from the resulting menu

    1. Go to settings > Gestures
    2. Enable the switch for “Disable Post Swipe Actions”
    3. Return to the feed and open a post with comments
    4. Try swiping a comment.

    Note, i am using compact mode so idk if this is an issue in card mode as i never use it

    Edit: could upvote, downvote, reply (or edit if its your comment), and save be added to a comment long press menu anyway? The reason behind this request is talkback and voiceover users really cant do the swipes and the show comment actions setting adds many more buttons to go through on screen so neither is desireable

    Probably because of material you , there isn’t enough contrast .

    I think it would be a good idea to make the text white on a darker color and black text on lighter backgrounds (not sure if that’s hard or not if it is then you should just add a manual toggle)

          Hmm, alright I think its time to figure out the root cause of this issue. Can you answer a few questions (I’m sorry if I’ve already asked these questions previously 😅):

          • What method do you use to log in? username or email
          • Do you have a display name set or no?
          • Have you tried clearing app data and cache and try again? Also attempt to re-install the app with app data/cache cleared
          • Do you see any errors popping up at all?
          • What is your default instance?

                Could you try updating to the latest pre-release if you haven’t yet? v0.2.1-alpha.4+12? I’ve made a couple of changes there with account stuff so it could fix it. Regardless, I’ll see if I can create an account on aussie.zone to try and reproduce it

                My first thought (in case you’re curious) is that it has something to do with cross-federation and how that logic is being handled. If you were to login to your lemmy.world account and try to edit comments on here, are you able to?

      Hmm, do you have two-factor authentication set up on your account? I would double check to see if that’s all set up and provide the correct code if you do have that!

      Otherwise, I would need to take a deeper look into this if this continues to occur
