This is a relatively small release. This release adds posts prefetching. This should make loading more posts in the post feed feel faster. This is a crucial change needed to implement offline mode.
This release also adds community icons in both the post feed and the post screen.
Both of these changes are configurable so you can disable one or both if it's not to your liking.
Full changelog
- Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
- Added support for community icons in the post feed.
- Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
- Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
- Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
- Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.
Update
Made a couple versioning mistakes so this will be released as v1.37.2 instead.
Update
I submitted the release but changes are in review still. It's been in review for over 5 hours so it feels like it's going to take a while before it's released to the play store.
Vote here! Upvote this comment if you want community icons to be on by default!
The next big feature on the menu is "Offline mode". This feature is difficult to tackle so I'm going to be implementing some other features that should make it easier.
The first is pre-fetching. Prefetching can also improve the base user experience so I will be looking at possible things that can be pre-fetched.
Changes so far:
- Added prefetching to the post feed. This should make loading more items in the post feed happen instantly as long as there is a good internet connection.
- Added support for community icons in the post feed.
- Added a setting to enable/disable post feed prefetching. The default is on.
- Added a setting to enable/disable community icons in the post feed. The default is on.
- Change post view to show the community icon if the post list also shows the community icon.
- Fixed a bug where tapping in certain areas of the post will not register the tap.
Update
I'm changing the default on community icons to "on" since a good portion of you want it on by default. This will be configurable on a per-layout basis so you can always turn it off.
Now we must never answer it!
Honestly I don't think the majority of my users check this community regularly. The ones that do probably already know about updates. One thing I can build in is a version check but I find these messages annoying personally and Id rather not add them in. Maybe I can show the message if the app is extremely out of date. I can put it on my backlog.
Unfortunately I can't find the exact tree anymore. I do recall we searched for "cat tree for heavy cats" specifically and then we did some research to find a good option.
Thanks! I'm also always happy to hear people's unique workflows so if there's anything I can do to make the app more usable for you let me know!
Huh that is very odd. I looked it up and v1.6.5 was released around August 2023. This is probably before the Lemmy server upgrades which is probably why sign in does not work. See if you can get on the latest version. It should be v1.36.0.
How did you get this version? V1.6.5 is extremely old. The current version is 1.36.0
I'm imagining a horror movie where there is the laugh track but the laugh track gets creepier and creepier and the "jokes" gets more and more messed up as the show goes.
This was the cat tree we ended up with. We still have the tree to this date and he still uses it sometimes.
This is an old photo. This was the very first cat tree we bought for Sencha before we realized he was a bit bigger than the average cat. We ended up having to return the tree because it was too small for him. He briefly used the tree but he could never seem to be able to find a comfortable spot on it.
Fun fact we were originally planning on adopting a kitten and had gotten a bunch of kitten stuff before we had even adopted a cat but we ended up going with Sencha who was 3.5 years old at the time of adoption. My SO was the one who chose him. He said he picked him because he noticed Sencha kept staring at me when we were walking around the adoption center.
They have a bunch but they are all closeted ;)
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!

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.
Pictured is Momo receiving pets, with her paw on my leg.
I'm going back to implementing more user requests.
