This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! This version contains a brand new inbox page, support for hiding posts (v0.19.4), and the usual bug fixes. There have also been a lot of under-the-hood changes so as always, please mention any issues or bugs that come up when running this version.

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

Some notable changes to test out:

  • The inbox page has been re-implemented to improve overall performance, reduce unnecessary API calls, and to more closely align to Material design guidelines. Additionally, you can now sort your inbox replies/mentions by top, new, old, and more!

  • Added support for hiding posts in Lemmy instances v0.19.4 and higher. You can assign swipe actions to hide posts, and adjust it's colour similar to other actions (e.g., voting, saving, etc)

  • Site content warnings are now supported on Lemmy instances v0.19.4 and higher. If an instance has a site content warning, that will be displayed in Thunder when you attempt to add an account with that instance.

Hey there, this community is to help test pre-release versions of Thunder!

I will be releasing pre-release versions here so that anyone that is interested can help out with general testing to find any major bugs or issues that would otherwise affect the larger amount of users who are currently in the alpha-releases.

As such, be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly. When testing a new pre-release version posted here, please try to limit the posts to bugs, and not feature requests.

As these are pre-release versions, I will most likely not use GitHub as a way to send out these pre-releases. I am trying to find an alternative site to upload the corresponding APK/IPA files, so feel free to suggest any sites that may fit that purpose!

Thanks again for all the support!


I would also like to ask if anyone is interested in becoming a moderator for this community or the main Thunder community. It has been growing at a incredible pace, and it is becoming more and more difficult for me to look through posts and answer all the questions that people may have.

Question above. Right now if I try to install nightly and I have stable installed I get prompted to update. Are we going to be able to have both installed simultaneously?
