Hello everyone!

After a hard week of work, and tremendous help from boscojwho on GitHub, is here! This update brings many, many new features. Of course, we’re still far away from making it 100% feature complete, but it’s slowly getting there: we’ve got multi-account support, uploading photos, searching, support for “@athlon@lemm.ee” and “!leomard@lemm.ee” links, and more!

This update not only brings new features, but also optimization improvements, which should help with the post load times, app load times and more. Here’s the full changelog:

EDIT: Oh yeah, you don’t have to look here for app updates anymore - the app checks for update by itself and will notify you :)

Note: You will have to log in again, because the app now uses a different method of storing the authorization tokens. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Changes

  • Massive refactoring of code and general optimization, thanks to boscojwho on GitHub
    • Post views are now a bit prettier
    • Replaced stock AsyncImage with Nuke
    • Improved load time of the app (both from cold start and from background)
    • API request handler is now running in separate thread, which should speed up the app
  • 2FA key field is now always present in the login view (seems like some Lemmy instances change the response text when 2FA is enabled, so the app can’t reliably detect if 2FA is enabled)
  • Many UI improvements
