First off, the icon contest is now closed! Thanks to everyone that submitted. Seriously, thank you. These are really awesome and it’s so cool to have icons created by the community. Next step: I’ll nominate 3 icons by end of week (hopefully sooner) and create a thread for the community to choose the winner :) More info to follow. https://lemmy.world/post/1287799
Next off, version 0.24.0!
Another release with some anticipated features!
Mark posts read on scroll
(disabled by default) you can now setup posts to be marked read when you scroll past them! This is a cool feature but will become even more useful when “hide read posts” is finished later this week.
Android mode (beta)
There’s now a setting to enable Android mode! Please keep in mind that it’s a beta isn’t finished! This is mainly getting the setting enabled so we can improve the styles and iterate. :) Let me know what you think! Do you prefer the iOS theme on Android? Do you prefer the Android theme on iOS? 😈
Show user instances
Did you even find it annoying that you had to tap into a user to determine the instance they’re on? Well now there’s a setting to show the instance URL of all users that aren’t on your instance! Super handy, thanks @rsammelson!

Much prefer the Android look (I’m on Android). If you’d asked me before making the change I wouldn’t have said I cared but I now realise that before it had a slight feeling of “clunkiness” because it didn’t quite fit with the platform. It does now!
When it’s out of beta are you going to select Android mode by default for Android clients?
I’m probably in the minority here but I like the iOS mode better (I’m on Android).
Anyways thank you for all the hard work!
Thank you so much, I can’t wait for hide to read posts!
Loving these updates! Do you guys rest?? Lol.
I really enjoy having a user’s instance visible. Do you think this could be added with communities too? When browsing all or even my subscribed communities, I can’t tell what instance they are on without some extra fiddling.
Small request, when we come around to voting for the nominees, can we get to see the three of them not just as is, but also a mock of how they’d look if they were included in an iPhone and Samsung home screen? Those are the two most common types of phones, so I think it’s super important to see them “in action” before making any communal decision, and I don’t think doing more mocks than those is an entirely good idea since this might not be the field of expertise of the dev.
