Watch out! Theres another update incoming 🎉
This release has a lot of changes under the hood which will pave the way for better performance overall, and hopefully allow for shiner features in the future! There’s a lot of quality of life changes in this one to make your experience hopefully better.
Since this release has a lot of under-the-hood changes, its expected that bugs may show up that were previously not there. Please open up a GitHub issue if you find any of those!
Obligatory message: If there are any developers out there who want to contribute to this project, that would be greatly appreciated!
To see the full details of this release, check out the GitHub release announcement: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B8
For those on TestFlight, the update should automatically install on your device. For those who obtained the app through IzzyOnDroid, that update should eventually reach your devices!
There is also a discussion page here for any general discussions about this release if anyone is interested: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/discussions/115
I am so glad to see all the support for this so far, and it has truly been incredible. Thank you all for helping me build this app, and let’s continue to make it even better
You must log in or register to comment.
For those on Android, theres a few things I would like to get your feedback on (I don’t have a physical Android device so I cant see it for myself):
- How does the icon look like to you? Has it improved from last time?
- How is Material You? Does it work as expected?
- Did the name of the app change to Thunder instead of thunder (capital case vs lower case)?
- Icon’s great now! Fills the full app circle
- Material You works as expected! Colors are themed correctly
- It’s now Thunder instead of thunder
Icon looks great, Thunder is capitalized! Material You is working beautifully, though I might consider having it theme the floating New Post button as well?
AMAZING release, dude!
The icon changed to a full black circle with the logo in the middle as it should be and the “T” is now capitalized. I am running Android 11 so no Material You testing for me. That was adden in Android 12 and up
The logo looks great, a bit more elegant! Thunder is capitalized and the Material You theme seems to work great, though I don’t know enough about how it’s supposed to look to say for sure. It does seem to use the right colours.
Take a look yourself 😀 Also to mention also: it loads only a few comments from this post but there are 20+
Thank you for this great app.

It is one of the best designed lemmy app so far but my biggest issue with the app is that after scrolling a certain amount app becomes so laggy to the point it becomes unusable. Hope the issue is fixed soon.
I’m an Android user so let me know if more info is required.
@darklightxi this app is still under development but it’s very promising.
the icon for me is a square with white background, and the loading posts is a hit or miss, but still it’s way better then all other clients I have tried in it’s current state, nice
You added everything I asked for and everything else I secretly wished for! What an amazing update, you are awesome! The new icon and Material You theming are A+, thank you so much for all your work on Thunder.
The app feels amazing! One thing that I personally want is the possibility to share images, gif or videos as they are, not only as a link to the post…
Other than that, I’m switching from connect!
Can we get fully collapsed comment threads back as an option? Also when a comment is collapsed, there should be some indication that there are child comments hidden
Yoooo this is the best Lemmy Android app I’ve tried by far! Will this be on the Play Store eventually?
I just downloaded the app. I love the feel, look & everything so far!
I’m such a baby at this, so please excuse my ignorance. But I can’t seem to like comments under posts. Am I just missing something?
Also I don’t know where to find my comments that I’ve made. Again, am I just so dumb I can’t find it? How do I see My posts & comments & how do I like other ppl’s comments? Please & thank you.
Sorry, I didn’t know where else to ask this. 🥺 I love this app so much rn.
Hey! Thanks for trying Thunder out :D I would like to preface this by mentioning that this is still in (what I would consider) very very early alpha. Because of this, there’s still a lot of features that I’m working hard to bring to everyone in the community!
But I can’t seem to like comments under posts.
You can perform actions on comments by swiping on them! Currently, that’s the only way to upvote/downvote, save, and reply to comments
Also I don’t know where to find my comments that I’ve made.
This is currently in the works! In the next release, I’m hoping to have a more detailed profile view where you can see your posts, comments, and hopefully saved items
I hope this answers your questions!
Nice update! Any word on support for refresh rates above 60? Whenever I scroll on my 120hz screen phone the app feels like it’s lagging.
Hey! I am aware of the performance issues and am working to improve them slowly over time
Thanks! Just to clarify, it’s locked to 60Hz on Android. So it’s not that the performance is dipping, it just doesn’t seem to support high refresh screens.
Don’t forget to unpin the previous release and pin this one !
Loving it so far, I’ll probably be back with more feedback after testing but so far the one change that’s weirding me out a bit is the new collapse only collapsing the parent comment. For some long comments it was very handy to collapse them and have a one line preview. Maybe a compromise with a pixel height would could work ? I just had a comment with a screenshot bigger than my screen and was sad when I clicked on it and still had to scroll the full length.
New settings are great <3 Great work !
Hey! Thanks for the quick feedback! I think for this, there’s different opinions on how it should be handled.
I think the best solution to this would be to just add in a setting which allows you to switch between the two methods of collapsing :D Feel free to open up a issue on GitHub for this!

Love the new option to open links in browser!!
Super minor thing, but it seems like links within posts (like the GitHub ones in this post) don’t respect that settingThank you so much!
Can’t exit app (clean install). Using Samsung A71 5g One UI 5.1
Looking as gorgeous as ever. Keep up the great work!
