This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type.

Some notable changes to test out:

  • The Account Settings has been updated to include even more settings that are synced to your Lemmy account. You can change your display name, profile bio, email, default feed type and sort, and more! Additionally, the user/community/instance blocks have been moved to their own dedicated page for easier management.
  • Experimental: You now have the ability to view a post as a different user. You can access this option by tapping on the three-dot menu within a post, and choosing "View post as a different user". When this happens, you temporarily switch accounts and can perform actions and even comment on the post as if you were that account.
  • You can now set custom labels for users which allows you to append a note to a given user. To access this feature, long press on a comment and select User -> Add User Label.
  • Groundwork is being laid out to improve the performance and reliability of the post page. This new experimental post page is locked under the new experimental features toggle. While this is not yet complete, you can test out the new post page by enabling experimental features in the Debug settings page.

The full list of changes since v0.4.0 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.
