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

This issue is most likely caused by a slow instance - e.g., your instance is overloaded or theres too much traffic on it, so it can’t respond to the requests in time
lemmy.world has been experiencing a lot of delays recently, but I think those issues have started to go away. Can you confirm if this is still happening to you?

this is happening to me today but no subscriptions are showing “No subscriptions available”, I’m on the lemm.ee instance

The link to the release page seems broken when opening from within Thunder (v0.2.1+8), it seems like it’s getting url-encoded twice. Not sure if it’s an issue with Thunder, Lemmy, or the link is just bad.
EDIT: Looks to be a Thunder issue, link is fine via web UI
Not sure if it’s just me but I’m getting logged out of my account for no reason when clicking back a few too many times
Just grabbed it. Thanks for all the hard work.
Its thunder fast! Good job bro!
Just saw this post, so I updated. The update didn’t show up as banner in the app for me. Also the download of images doesn’t seem to work. I already allowed access to my phone’s media. Does the instance I’m on possibly play any roll (feddit.de)?
But for me these are minor issues. I really love thunder. Great app!
The update doesn’t show in the app as a banner for me, but I will install it anyway. I will edit this comment once I have installed it to test.
Edit: I can edit stuff, also it’s really good that you can now see profiles.
Edit 2: you should be able to view a profile from the comments, and I think the user should be shown on posts.
Test comment pls ignore
i dont mean to suggest anything that’s been talked about but thunder is my favorite ui look out of all the apps
would it be possible to add searching for a post? i think liftoff, for example, has post user and community searches
also a toggleable community profile picture thing would be neat (the small picture next to community names) im no app dev though so im not sure the implications
also i periodically get an error retrieving info or something it says ubunto if that is any indication
im just nitpicking i think its a great app
More search functionality is definitely something I want to work on in a future update!
also a toggleable community profile picture thing would be neat
This is definitely possible! I would suggest you to check GitHub for any issues that are already present about this, or if not, create an issue for this so that it can be tracked!

This usually indicates an issue with connecting to the instance you’re on - maybe the instance you’re on is experiencing issues?
