Hey there!

Could you tell me what version of Thunder you’re using and the instance you’re using? Additionally, does this happen to all images or only a few images on the feed?

If it only happens to a few images on the feed, I would try to increase the time Thunder tries to determine the image dimension size. Here is a quick link to that setting: Thunder Setting: Debug > Feed > Image Dimension Timeout

I mentioned this briefly in the Matrix development channel, but for those who are not part of it, this is what is happening:

• Google Play Store requires the build number to increase for every new release (this is the +16 in this case)
• App Store requires the version number to increase for every new release (this is the 0.2.3 part)

To be able to accommodate both Google Play and App Store, I’m temporarily increasing both the version number and build numbers for releases. In the future, the naming scheme might be adjusted to just contain the version number (0.2.3) for more consistency!

This fix is being rolled out as a hotfix. You should receive a new update soon if you are on Google Play/App Store. If you are using GitHub, you can get the release immediately!

Thanks for pointing out the issue!

Oh no, are you able to submit a new issue to GitHub and provide a bit more details? Thanks!

Do you happen to have left-to-right swipe comment gestures enabled? There was a change in this latest update which adjusts some logic for this. If you have LTR gestures enabled, then you should be able to swipe from the left edge of the screen to go back. If you have LTR gestures disabled, then you should be able swipe from anywhere on the screen to go back.

If you are still having issues, please create a issue on GitHub so that it can be investigated further!

This should be fixed up in the next general release! There’s been a lot of changes piling up which are almost ready to be released

Surprise! :D

Hey! Thanks for checking out Thunder :D I try to look at feedback from TestFlight whenever I can, but it’s much harder to go through them than it is on GitHub.

I think the best way to get visibility on feedback is to post it directly to GitHub since that’s where I spend most of my time filtering and looking at suggestions/issues

Feel free to suggest changes on GitHub! You can always contribute towards making the project better by finding issues or providing suggestions on how to improve things 😄

Hey! It seems like you might be on an old version. The latest general version should be v0.2.1+13. You can double check the version you’re currently using by going to the bottom of the Settings page

Initial support for videos will come in the near future (hopefully)! Support for Imgur will be a bit more tricky as we have to double check their API usage terms and how to handle that effectively (if possible)

For more information about Imgur and third party video API support, see this issue: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/45

Thanks for the feedback 😄If you have any feature requests, or anything you feel like is missing, feel free to check out the GitHub page and create a new issue for it!

This is a bug and has been fixed in the latest pre-release version! If you want to check out the pre-release version, here is the link to the GitHub page: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1-alpha.1%2B14

Hey! Could you check what version of Thunder you’re currently on (you should see it at the bottom of the Settings page)? Ability to block and manage blocked communities is available on v0.2.1+13

There’s currently no way to block instances, only communities at the moment!

I’ll chime in on this topic since it’s been getting a bit of activity. First, thank you for trying out Thunder! I appreciate all the amazing and supportive comments and it’s been nice hearing them from the community. I would like to remind everyone to be civil and respectful for other lemmy clients. They’re all being developed by people who have a genuine interest in lemmy as a platform and I’m sure they all want lemmy to be successful.

I personally think that Thunder still has a long way to go before I would consider it perfect. It’s only been roughly a bit over a month since Thunder was first developed, and although there has been incredible progress so far, there are definitely a lot of features and bugs to work out! There are still UX gaps to fill in, missing features that have yet to be added in, and so on (that we can learn from all the other lemmy clients out there 😅).

At the end of the day, Thunder is a community-driven FOSS project, and will stay that way. All the work that is being put into Thunder are from individuals who take time out of their day to contribute towards the project. It might not currently have the same level as polish as other apps, but it will get there eventually with time.

Could you clarify a bit more on this? If it’s a feature that is not currently available, feel free to open up a new GitHub issue and provide more details/screenshots!

There shouldn’t be any functional difference between the two! The only thing right now is that pre-releases/nightly builds are only available through GitHub

The UI for creating posts is being revamped, so I want to place focus on editing posts after that UI redesign is in the nightlies. Otherwise, thanks so much for the feedback!

If you’re curious, heres the GitHub link for the create post redesign! https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/455#event-9957343197

Hey! Is this issue still occurring? As some others have mentioned, it could have been during the downtime when the instance was performing an update

This might be a difficult issue to solve at the current moment without introducing a long delay in the release process unfortunately (especially TestFlight)

If I’m not mistaken, Obtainium is still able to pull the latest nightly releases right? I have personally not yet played around with Obtainium, but if that is the case, then this shouldn’t be too big of an issue hopefully 😅
