Thanks for mentioning this, there will be a fix out for this shortly! This is the related PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1536

Just circling back to this - there was a potential fix for this issue in this PR: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1524

This potential fix was released in v0.5.0 of Thunder. If possible, please let me know if you're still encountering this issue on the latest version. Thanks!

Full height images not working? in c/thunder_app@lemmy.world
[–] darklightxi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I know this was posted a while ago, but I do have an update on this issue. This bug was only affecting instances running on 0.19.4 and higher that had image proxying enabled (e.g., lemm.ee)

Fortunately, this issue should now be resolved with v0.5.0 of Thunder! If you're interested in the details, check out the following GitHub discussion: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1448

UPDATE! Fewer than 15% of Lemmy Apps display posts accurately in c/thunder_app@lemmy.world
[–] darklightxi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just providing a quick update on this - v0.5.0 fixes one of the two issues mentioned in the markdown report (table alignment not being respected)

The other markdown issue is not yet released, but should be fairly easy to fix! (just need to take some time to make sure the fix doesn't break anything else). If all looks good there, then this fix will be released as part of a nightly build soon!

Thanks for the instructions. I've updated my information on GitHub to now include Monero as a viable option for those who would prefer that.

Though it still lacks the mod actions

Are you referring to mod actions for comments? If so, that is something I'll be working on next!

and reports don’t have the name of the reporter.

For this, it would be good if you could submit a new feature request on GitHub to make it easier to track.

Thanks! I haven't yet received requests to accept Monero for donations. If its a relatively straight-forward process, I can definitely add that as an option.

Thanks! The default sort type options should now be located in Settings -> Account, since it syncs up with your Lemmy account.

Alpha Release [v0.5.0]: Improved inbox, additional account settings, post hiding, and more! (github.com)
 

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.5.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a quite a bit of time, but introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type if you were previously using the in-app settings.

Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

  • The inbox page has been completely re-written with an updated design to more closely align with Material 3 design guidelines. There's also been a number of fixes to support quick actions within the inbox page (e.g., voting, saving, etc).
  • Thunder now respects more of your Lemmy account settings including your default feed/sort settings. You can update your display name, bio, email, and much more in the new Account Settings page. You can also quickly switch between different accounts to modify your Lemmy settings across all your authenticated accounts.
  • Additional Lemmy 0.19.x features have been added to Thunder including the ability to hide posts, custom thumbnail support, site content warnings, and more. We are still continuously working on bringing Thunder up to feature-parity with Lemmy, so let us know what features you would like to see.
  • Custom user notes/labels are now available in Thunder! This will allow you to add any custom notes to a given user. You can add user labels from the settings page via Settings -> User Labels. Alternatively, you can add labels through the action sheets by long pressing on a given comment and selecting User -> Add User Label.

ℹ General

  • The create/edit button for posts and comments have been moved to the markdown toolbar. This should hopefully make it more accessible for one-handed use.
  • URL filtering has been added to keyword filters. Simply add a new keyword filter with a URL, and it should be hidden from view.
  • Link sharing has been improved to support additional media/external links.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

private/direct messages in c/thunder_app@lemmy.world
[–] darklightxi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just wanted to chime in here - I also think having a chat-style widget would also be best for private messages but would be difficult to implement without some workarounds (mainly due to the limitations of the API as you mentioned)!

But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages

From what I can see in the API, there is a creatorId field that can be specified to grab chats for a given user. This could potentially work by passing in your own account id to retrieve your sent messages (although, this would likely return back your sent messages aggregated across all users so it wouldn't be ideal)

It would be a bit of a hack but we could call that API endpoint, and cache the results locally to be used in chats. This adds a layer of complexity since we would need to consider how to keep messages synced up (e.g., if a user edits a message elsewhere, it should be reflected here). There also doesn't seem to be a way to get a specific private message by id, so that also complicates the issue further 😅

Alpha Release [v0.3.0]: Modlogs, mod reports, and more customizations! (github.com)
 

Hey everyone, its been a while but it's finally time for another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

  • Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder. To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All). To access a community modlog, navigate to the given community and find "Modlog" in the extended actions.
  • Mod reports are now available to view and resolve within Thunder via the drawer. If you are a moderator or admin of a community/instance, you should see a new "Reports" option under the general feeds. Only post and comment reports are available at this time. Private message reports will come in a future update.
  • The user feed has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions.
  • An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance.
  • Thunder now has an in-app changelog for updates. It is turned on by default, but can be toggled off in the settings. This changelog should help you keep track of what additions, changes, and fixes have been added in upcoming versions.

ℹ General

  • Improvements to markdown rendering. Spoiler markdown detection has been improved, and there is now initial/experimental support for subscript and superscript markdown tags. Markdown quick actions when creating posts/comments will be added in the near future.
  • You can now customize the user/community name format and style across Thunder! This is accessible through Settings -> Appearance -> Theming. You can adjust the font weight, colour, and format for both user and community names.
  • Improved UI/UX for long press actions, and additional customization options including customizable feed dividers and navigation bar labels.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

Reminder: users on instances upgrading to 0.19 (lemmy.world)
 

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder for those on instances that are either about to upgrade or have recently upgraded from version 0.18 to 0.19 (e.g., lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, sh.itjust.works, etc.).

After your instance updates to 0.19, please remember to re-authenticate (i.e., log out and log back in). This is because of some authentication changes made in 0.19 which invalidates the session.

Thanks!

Alpha Release [v0.2.9]: Moderator actions, high-refresh support, and more! (github.com)
 

Hey everyone, it's time for yet another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

  • Initial support for moderator actions. Thunder has added support for some moderator actions such as locking, pinning, and removing posts. To access these actions, simply long-press on a post and select "Moderator Actions" from the menu. Additional moderator actions such as mod logs, and reports will come in a future update.
  • Support for high-refresh rate devices. Thunder should now feel smoother on Android devices with high-refresh rate displays, and should no longer be limited to 60 Hz. For iOS, Thunder also supports ProMotion devices.
  • Customizable post metadata. You can now customize the post metadata information (vote counts, comment counts, etc) on your feed! This can be done in Settings -> Appearance -> Compact/Card View Settings. Simply drag and drop the metadata information you want to see on your feed. The order of the information will be the order that you drag it into the preview.
  • Experimental local push notification support on Android. Thunder has experimental support for handling push notifications locally on Android devices. When enabled, Thunder will attempt to fetch new notifications in the background while the app is not running. Please note that this feature is highly dependent on the Android OS and their battery saving settings

ℹ General

  • Additional UI/UX and quality-of-life improvements. This includes but is not limited to:
    • Support for spoiler markdown tags. Spoiler tags will be automatically minimized, and can be expanded when tapping on them
    • Support for creating cross posts for an existing post, and deleting existing posts
    • Addition of more options including hiding top app bar, medium font scale option, and colorized usernames
  • Added new condensed post body view to the post page which shows a smaller preview of images and thumbnails
  • Added the ability to search posts/comments directly from community feed

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org

I would just like to thank everyone for the continued support and contributions. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and knowing that others enjoy it drives me to continue working on it!

Update: Hi everyone! A quick hotfix version v0.2.8 was released to address an issue where Thunder opens up in RTL (right-to-left) layout on some devices after the previous v0.2.7 update.

If you are still encountering an issue with this after this release, feel free to open up a new GitHub issue with some more details. A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update.

  • The Settings page has been overhauled and re-organized, with post and comment previews for certain visual settings. This should hopefully provide a better overall experience for adjusting and customizing your settings.

  • Additional settings have been added in which sync up with your Lemmy account. This includes showing/hiding read posts, showing/hiding scores, and showing/hiding bot accounts.
  • There is now a Safari extension which allows you to open Lemmy links within Thunder for iOS users. This extension is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the system settings under Safari -> Extensions.

[2023-12-18] Thunder Development Update (lemmy.world)
 

Happy holidays everyone ❄️! I'm back again to share some updates on Thunder’s ongoing development for those who might not be keeping tabs on our progress in the Matrix space or GitHub.

The next upcoming update will be hopefully released within the next couple weeks, and will bring a whole set of new features and quality-of-life improvements! We’ve been working on some of the most requested features, so I hope you enjoy them.

PSA: Lemmy 0.19.0 is now officially released. As your instances begin upgrading to 0.19.0, please be aware that you will need to log out and log back in for some things to work

Here's a brief summary of the main features we will be releasing in the next Thunder general build:

  • Ability to edit your own posts and set the post language.
  • Full reorganization of the settings page, with post and comment previews.
  • Ability to search for keywords in comments when you’re in a post.
  • Setting to combine comment scores, and show user instance.
  • Safari extension to open Lemmy links in Thunder on iOS devices.
  • Ability to favorite communities. Favoriting communities will create a new section in the sidebar for quick access, and will prioritize them in community suggestions and search results.
  • Ability to set keyword filters. Adding keywords will filter any posts whose title or body containing one or more keywords.
  • Performance improvements which should drastically reduce the start up time for some users.
  • And much more as described in the changelog!

For those on the nightly or TestFlight builds, you will mostly have access to these features already for testing. Please report any issues that you see so that they can be fixed before it hits general availability.

A huge thanks again to everyone who has been actively contributing, and as always, we are constantly looking for more contributors to the project! Thank you for all the community members for contributing translations. If you would like to help contribute, feel free to reach out on our Matrix space or on GitHub.

As always, I would just like to thank everyone so far for the amazing support so far. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and it has been incredible so far.
