Thunder App

Hey everyone, Thunder v0.4.0 is finally here! This release cycle took a bit longer than usual, but as a result, introduces a lot of new features, changes, and fixes which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

• The comment creation page has been fully re-built from the ground up and introduces a few new features, including the ability to specify the comment language, ability to comment as a different user, and addition of spoilers to the markdown toolbar. If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding these changes, feel free to make a new issue on GitHub!
• There is now initial support for video playback on Thunder! The built-in video player should work with most video URLs (that end in a proper video extension) and should work with YouTube URLs. Additionally, you can customize some video settings such as playback speed, auto-mute, auto-play and more in the Settings page. The video player is still experimental, so there may still be some issues present.
• Additional customization options including the ability to customize the colours of actions (upvotes, downvotes, saving, etc.), hiding thumbnails from the feed, showing user/community avatars, and much more.

ℹ General

• There have been improvements to the overall UI/UX across the board. This includes improvements to the pure black theme, improvements to markdown rendering of tables, quotes, and more.
• There have also been a lot of changes under-the-hood to hopefully improve the overall performance and reliability of actions. As a result of these changes, there may still be some issues that were not caught during testing. If you notice any general issues, please make a new issue on GitHub.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions.

Hello people!

We wanted to make a short announcement regarding posts in here. We would like to encourage you to keep posting feature suggestions/discussions about this app or lemmy in general.

Please use the GitHub issue tracker for bug reports however, since it is important for us to keep track of those and they don't require a discussion anyway.

Have a great day!

P.S.: We also have a matrix space now, if you want to join and hang out with out :)

If I start writing a comment, but decide "nah, not right now" and back out, my partially written comment is "saved as draft".

If I go back to the comment, the partially written comment is "restored from draft".

• Are drafts stored indefinitely?
• Is there a way to see all my current drafts?
• If I keep creating new drafts without ever finishing them, will my storage get full?
• Is there any way to delete drafts?

In this example, some commenters are joking around and placing angle brackets (less than, greater than) around their comment's text. As a result, the comment text does not display.

It does display in a web browser or Voyager. Raccoon also does not render the comments, though strangely it does render that last comment in the chain. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the comment includes an apostrophe and comma, unlike the others.

Hi, I'd like to switch from Boost to Thunder permanently but the lack of moderator actions is the final hurdle.

Being able to remove posts is a good start, but not being able to do anything with comments is a bit of an issue for me. Any idea when this feature might be added?

I found a Similar logo design to thunder, and was wondering where this is originally from?

I was browsing TikTok, yes, judge me. Haven’t been on in years, and still hate it.

I'm currently trying out the Thunder app on my Pixel 4A. When I open the menu on the left side of the screen, the app always stutters. Occasionally, it also stutters when I scroll through my feed.

Full height images have been enabled in card view but I'm still seeing cropped off portions

Version: 0.4.0

Votes don't show up in both posts and comments. Issue began upon updating to 0.4.0

Logged out and in. Nothing changed.

Sometimes when I am scrolling through a comment feed, I somehow make this dialogue pop up and it seems to involve comments with links in them. I don't like it and I don't know how I am making it happen, it just gets in the way.

Long short, how do I make it stop or disable it entirely? It happens very often.

Title. I apologize if this is not the appropriate location to report bugs or other issues, or if this has been reported before, or if this is an issue larger than Thunder.

I noticed this morning that despite having it set in settings, opening a post's media will not mark it as read, as it had previous to today. I've switched the settings on/off, restarted the app, restarted my phone, all to no avail.

If I need to report this elsewhere or provide more information, let me know. I went to GitHub originally, but I don't have an account over there, and didn't see an option to report an issue without one.

Thank you in advance.

Is it possible to have link posts in compact layout while other posts are in cards layout? I miss this feature from Boost and Eternity.

is it an option, cause i cant find it anywhere? if it is, please tell me where can i do it

I scroll all:scaled fairly often, as my list of subs isn't super active, but there are some communities that come up fairly often that I would rather not see. Is there a way to implement that on the client side or would that require a Lemmy change?

Is there a way to disable the app's back navigation gesture? It kinda overlaps with Android's back gesture

I use the follow system when setting a theme. However, Thunder defaults to gray theme rather than amoled.

Would love to have the option to set a preferred dark theme so that it defaults to the amoled option instead.

Edit: nvm, I changed something in settings, it was user error. Pls disregard

Hi Thunder devs, I have an accessibility issue to report regarding the special styling for original poster and mod names (changed with the last major release). I haven't checked against WCAG, but I'm pretty sure they don't meet color contrast standards; it's pretty hard to read the grey text, especially over the 'mod' orange.

Otherwise, no complaints. I really dig Thunder, I chose it as my daily driver after months of testing alongside Voyager, Eternity, and Jerboa. It just feels more responsive and intuitive, and the customization options are quite good. Nice work!

Feature request: Horizontal swipe for next/previous post in feed

I would love this as an option for navigating between posts, and I'm surprised that most Lemmy apps don't have this.

Joey for Reddit had this feature, as does the official Reddit app. Connect for Lemmy has this feature, and Boost for Lemmy doesn't show the comments in swiping mode. Eternity is the only Lemmy app which does it properly so far, but development has fallen behind in other areas.

Would the Thunder devs consider implementing this feature? It would probably win me over!

Any way to collapse your profile as you scroll down your posts / saved posts? Sometimes I want to send a screenshot of a post I saved but the profile is taking up a lot of space together with the bottom tab bar.

The feed default sort options list is missing "scaled" and "controversial" options. Would be great if those could be added. Thanks for the great app!

edit: Looks like this is already in the works: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1298

Hey everyone, its been a while but it's finally time for another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

• Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder. To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All). To access a community modlog, navigate to the given community and find "Modlog" in the extended actions.
• Mod reports are now available to view and resolve within Thunder via the drawer. If you are a moderator or admin of a community/instance, you should see a new "Reports" option under the general feeds. Only post and comment reports are available at this time. Private message reports will come in a future update.
• The user feed has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions.
• An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance.
• Thunder now has an in-app changelog for updates. It is turned on by default, but can be toggled off in the settings. This changelog should help you keep track of what additions, changes, and fixes have been added in upcoming versions.

ℹ General

• Improvements to markdown rendering. Spoiler markdown detection has been improved, and there is now initial/experimental support for subscript and superscript markdown tags. Markdown quick actions when creating posts/comments will be added in the near future.
• You can now customize the user/community name format and style across Thunder! This is accessible through Settings -> Appearance -> Theming. You can adjust the font weight, colour, and format for both user and community names.
• Improved UI/UX for long press actions, and additional customization options including customizable feed dividers and navigation bar labels.

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

For some reason, my app can’t seem to handle logins correctly. I am able to log in ok, but the account management page never shows the login, which means I can see my inbox, etc.

I haven’t tried completely deleting and reinstalling yet, but I have tried to log in several times with no change in app behavior.

With the recent Thulean* comment spam attacks, mods have dutifully deleted the offending comments, but Thunder still renders the deleted comments.

Connect seems to have the same bug

Voyager and Jerboa show the comments as deleted

Examples:

https://startrek.website/post/8228446

https://ani.social/post/2729729

https://lemmy.world/post/13350248

How can I switch between two instances and make all the sub lemmies I subscribed to appear in subscribed section?

If i remember correctly, there was some space between posts in early versions. On 0.2.9 in card view, there is no space. Is there some way to get back this post divider, so that I can easier see where one post ends and a new one begins?

Does Thunder currently support the ability to report posts and/or comments? I'm having trouble finding any way to do this from the app.

When I switch between logged in accounts, I have to manually refresh the feed tab/view to reflect the account switch. I would prefer the reload be done automatically, an option to allow users to specify this behavior would be ideal.

Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder for those on instances that are either about to upgrade or have recently upgraded from version 0.18 to 0.19 (e.g., lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, sh.itjust.works, etc.).

After your instance updates to 0.19, please remember to re-authenticate (i.e., log out and log back in). This is because of some authentication changes made in 0.19 which invalidates the session.

Thanks!

It seems that the web UI treats spoilers without a space after ::: the same as the regular ones, while Thunder ignores those as spoilers. It looks like the closing spoiler marker may be entered without whitespace but it consumes extra text after the spoiler, and overall acts weird

I can create an issue if that's needed, or this post may be referenced in an existing issue to be used as a test

```

As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 New Features

• Initial support for moderator actions. Thunder has added support for some moderator actions such as locking, pinning, and removing posts. To access these actions, simply long-press on a post and select "Moderator Actions" from the menu. Additional moderator actions such as mod logs, and reports will come in a future update.
• Support for high-refresh rate devices. Thunder should now feel smoother on Android devices with high-refresh rate displays, and should no longer be limited to 60 Hz. For iOS, Thunder also supports ProMotion devices.
• Customizable post metadata. You can now customize the post metadata information (vote counts, comment counts, etc) on your feed! This can be done in Settings -> Appearance -> Compact/Card View Settings. Simply drag and drop the metadata information you want to see on your feed. The order of the information will be the order that you drag it into the preview.
• Experimental local push notification support on Android. Thunder has experimental support for handling push notifications locally on Android devices. When enabled, Thunder will attempt to fetch new notifications in the background while the app is not running. Please note that this feature is highly dependent on the Android OS and their battery saving settings

ℹ General

• Additional UI/UX and quality-of-life improvements. This includes but is not limited to:
  • Support for spoiler markdown tags. Spoiler tags will be automatically minimized, and can be expanded when tapping on them
  • Support for creating cross posts for an existing post, and deleting existing posts
  • Addition of more options including hiding top app bar, medium font scale option, and colorized usernames
• Added new condensed post body view to the post page which shows a smaller preview of images and thumbnails
• Added the ability to search posts/comments directly from community feed

And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

I can see the message but can't seem to actually reply to it.

Thank you.

Still loving Thunder but there are two issues I'm having in creating posts.

When I enter an URL, the app gives me a suggested title but selecting it does nothing.

One community wants me to select the language. Again I can find the language in the list but not select it.

I hope you can help.

EDIT: okay, both of these features work on my phone but not my tablet. Both are Android device.

Does anyone else get logged out when switching between wifi and mobile data? I notice when leaving the house (or coming home) and my phone switches between wifi and data (and vice versa), the app asks me to login again. I have the beta/testflight version.

I'm a newbie coming from voyager app. I liked using thunder for a while and when i tweaked the settings i liked it even more Never thought thunder was this feature rich.

Even now I couldn't find out how to personal message a user and please share more features you liked in this app and settings that can be tweaked to get more out of it

Is it possible to do this? From my understanding, it’s not mentioned in the README or any way to create a community in the app.

A way to copy the URL and lemmy address (@me@lemmy.world, !thunder_app@lemmy.world) of a user and community

In the search tab, when you do not have anything typed in the search box, you can explore all of the communities, users, posts and comments.

You can filter this out with the filters by only exploring the local instance, the entire fediverse, etc.

A comment sorting option called "Chat" and "Forum"

On the official Lemmy web UI, you can sort comments by Hot, Top, New, Old and Chat. Please add a Chat sorting option.

Also, please add a "Forum" sorting option which will be the same as Chat except in reverse, showing the oldest comment first to the newest comments last, and will be ordered like a forum thread.
