This release burns down more of the backlog as well as continue to improve the app quality further.

The key feature this release brings is NSFW mode. NSFW gives users a fast way to toggle NSFW content outside of settings.

When NSFW mode is enabled, both the blur and NSFW filter settings will be ignored. Instead NSFW posts will always be shown and are never blurred.

This mode is excellent if you want a quick way to switch between browsing SFW content and NSFW content.

Full changelog

• Added NSFW mode. The option to toggle this mode is in the home screen's overflow menu.
• Added NSFW mode as a possible option for the quick action on the home screen's FAB.
• Added an image info screen to the image viewer.
• Added a undo button to restore a deleted post.
• Changed delete post action to update the post deleted automatically. Also deleting a post will show a snackbar allowing the user to undo the action.
• Fixed a minor bug where the background of the inbox screen does not take up the entire height of the screen.
• Fixed a bug when using the screenshot feature to take a screenshot of a comment without the post. Remove the divider at the top of the screenshot that serves no purpose.
• Fixed a bug where sending an image to the app would show a bottom sheet but the bottom sheet would not be expanded.

Just thought of an idea at 4:52 am. What if you could long tap a post you don't like to see, tap something like "snooze posts like this for a week", and then all posts related to the subject would be hidden for a week but the filter will self destruct after the time limit.

Would people be interested in a feature like that?

I came up with the idea after I noticed that Lemmy, like Reddit, will cycle through certain topics. Sometimes you really aren't interested or there's simply too many posts about the topic you just want to tune it out.

Anyways if people want this let me know in the comments!

This update also reorganizes the app settings as well as some other changes. See the full changelog below for details

Update

Had to bump to v1.35.1 because I forgot to update the version number. v1.35.1 was submitted to the play store last night but it is still in review almost 24 hours later. Hopefully it gets reviewed soon :x.

Update

v1.35.1 is fully rolled out now.

The house I live in has integrated speakers and they are all hooked up to an old AV receiver (Marantz NR1604). Currently it is annoying to play music through the receiver because essentially I have to plug my phone directly to the receiver. I am looking at other options.

Currently I set up a RaspPi to run Volumio, then I connected the RaspPi directly to the receiver. This allows me to play music from a music library (eg. a NAS) but I still can't easily stream music from my phone to the receiver. I'm wondering if anyone has any set up ideas for easy streaming from phone or computer to the AV receiver.

Update

Haven't posted an update in a while so here it is. I've been working on adding general cross-account support for the past week and it's a big feature so I didn't really have much to update other than it's WIP. If I can't get the feature into a shippable state by this weekend I will do a release without it since there's plenty in this release already.

Note that by cross-account support I mean the supporting acting on a different account without switching the current account. This is a requirement for things like "cross account feeds" eg. multi-account subscribed feed.

We're going back to implementing new features with this release. However just like most release, this one also contains a lot of bug fixes and general improvements.

Full changelog

• Added a setting to choose a "quick action" for the post feed floatiing action button (FAB) (button at the bottom). When set, this action will trigger when the FAB is long pressed.
• Added setting to show edited times in post/comment headers. This will be on by default.
• Updated the design of the user profile screen slightly.
• Improve options menus even further.
• Changed user profile images to be tappable in comments.
• Handle Lemmy links to custom frontends.
• Updated translations. (Thank you translators)
• Fixed a bug where comment details do not wrap when collapsed.
• Fixed a bug when viewing information about moderated communities/subscribed communities.
• Fixed a crash when trying to preview an extremely high resolution image.
• Fixed a crash when interacting with spoiler tags.
• Fixed a rare crash.

Update

I accidentally did a release without changing the changelog within the app so I am bumping the version to v1.34.1 to address this issue.

Update 2

Fixed some bugs with the release. Releasing as v1.34.3.

Update 3

Fixed a bug where the edited time displayed was incorrect. This fix is released in v1.34.5.

I'm going back to implementing more user requests.
