What’s New

  • Private Messages can now be viewed and replied to under Inbox → Chats
  • Scaled Sort (new to Lemmy 0.19.x) is now available as the “Spotlight” sorting option throughout Lemmynade (named this way to make more sense to the average user)
  • Infinite Scrolling has been rebuilt from the ground up. Your scroll position is now saved correctly, everything is faster, and many bugs have been exterminated.
  • The Inbox has been updated with infinite scrolling, slightly faster loading times, and simplified filtering
  • Your Home Feed tabs (My Feed, Local, and All) can now be switched between without loosing your place
  • In addition to long-pressing on user/community names, you can now Block & Unblock users and communities on their individual pages from the ••• menu
  • Upvoted & Downvoted Posts are now browsable from dedicated sections in your Account page
  • Profile Age can now be seen from user profile pages

Removed

  • Support has been dropped for instances running Lemmy 0.18.5 and lower. This was a tough decision, but will ultimately allow faster, more focused development on new features while we’re still in alpha testing.
  • Vote scores have been removed from user profile following changes made in the latest Lemmy update

Fixed & Improved

  • Context menus and dialogs are snappier with better animations and reworked interactions
  • The top and bottom app toolbars are now a bit smarter about when they auto-hide
  • Fixed an issue that prevented clicking or tapping on action buttons on post pages
  • Minor bug fixes and improvements have been made in preparation for desktop layout down the road
  • Links in the feed and on individual post pages now use the same description (as they should)
  • Fixed an issue that caused images to flash when opening a post
  • The one-time-password field on the login page is now always shown to accommodate discrepancies between instances for the time being until the login page redesign
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the description of a post’s attached URL to overflow outside of its container
  • Fixed an issue where posts were being marked as read from post feeds if your finger touched them while scrolling
  • A heart has been added to the top of the home page to make it easier to support Lemmynade’s development
  • Many other minor bug fixes and improvements
