This release adds a new option when a community link is long clicked: Local community stats. It shows you useful information about a community. Personally I’m using this new feature to help me decide whether to block a community is worth blocking or not.

This release also fixes a lot of bugs. If I wasn’t able to get to your bug fix in this release it will be fixed in a patch update.

Full changelog

  • Add a screen to see local stats in more detail.
  • Add local community stats screen.
  • Add a special case for searching for a person/community handle in the search screen. Searching for a specific person/community handle will now find direct matches if it exists. Eg. searching music@lemmy.world will yield both the person music@lemmy.world and the community music@lemmy.world in the search results.
  • Fix an issue with loops not loading in app.
  • Fix a bug where changing the sort order does not work for multi-communities.
  • Fix a bug where the “go to” action button does nothing on comments in the search results screen.
  • Fix a bug where “mark post as read on scroll” will mark all posts on screen as read if the user switches to another screen. (The correct behavior is that posts should only be marked as read if the user scrolls it off screen)
  • Fix a bug where unread notifications are never shown and unread count not updating.

Update

I am doing a minor release with many QoL changes and bug fixes. They will be released as v1.84.2 (there were some regressions in v1.84.1, so skipping 1.84.1).

  • Add a setting to control whether the failed actions badge is shown or not.
  • Add more ways to delete drafts.
  • Add “scroll to top” as a quick action option on the post feed screen.
  • Improve comments loading performance.
  • Better support display names on the current account.
  • Fix some deadlocks on the post screen.
  • Fix an issue where switching accounts on the person screen can cause the wrong person’s data to be shown.
  • Fix a bug where registration applications don’t load on Lemmy.
  • Fix an issue where some conversation messages do not load.
  • Fix an issue where downloading larger video files can error.

Update 2

More bug fixes. Released as v1.84.3:

  • Improve search screen. Typing in the search bar on the search screen will now show community suggestions.
  • Fix incorrectly linking mentions within another link. Sometimes a link will contain something that looks like a mention as a substring. This change should fix incorrectly adding a link to that substring.
  • Fix missing comments in saved/upvoted/downvoted screens.
  • Support piefed /c/ post links.
