Zoom zoom zoom, new update incoming and Happy (late) Canada Day for my fellow Canadians out there (if there are any out there 👀) 🎉

I know I skipped v0.2.1+9 - this was because a build failed for TestFlight, which upped the version from v0.2.1+9 -> v0.2.1+10

This update was mainly focused on improving overall performance for Thunder - you should hopefully see less lag as you scroll down your favourite feed or community!

In addition to that, a few new major additions have been added, including the ability to view a user’s profile, a revamped account page (for posts, comments, and saved posts), editing of comments, ability to download images and of course, more quality of life improvements to make your experience even better!

This release has a lot of under-the-hood changes, so 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%2B10

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/167

    Spectacular new release, man! Thunder is really improving by leaps and bounds with every release :)

    One thing I am noticing: you mention in the release notes was the ability to edit comments, and that it should replace the reply gesture on your own comments. That doesn’t look to be the case currently? Just tested in this post and I just replied to myself instead.

    Keep up the amazing work!

      I’m going to see if editing works for me

      Edit: works great with swipe gesture

          Hmm, another dumb question, but maybe double check that you’re on the correct account? (if you have more than one) 😅

            I do have more than one, but I’m only really using my .world account with Thunder. I checked my comment using both of my accounts (lot of timeout errors unfortunately) and both were only giving me the reply option on swipe. I even uninstalled and cleared storage and cache (though that still kept me logged in for some reason?)

            Should I make a ticket?

            EDIT: editing on Jerboa - clearing storage again seems to have reset the app properly, but I’m still getting the same behavior (reply instead of edit). Perplexing! Also experiencing a lot of 502s and 504s, but honestly getting errors in Jerboa as well so for all I know it’s related to the .world Lemmy version update :(
