Uhm, that Feature does exist for me. Its a small black bar in the bottom third when browsing a post

Beaupedia, (edited )

Oh wow, are you on a beta or something? Or do you know how you enabled it?

Update: Got the latest version from GitHub and now I have it. I guess the dev hasn’t put the latest version in the Play Store for some reason. Thank you!

bloubz,

Updates are subjects to Google validation, which is not immediate

Beaupedia,

Gotcha, just figured 3 weeks would be enough, that sucks. Thank you!

bloubz,

I would say it is in most situations. Then they could have a reason on top of that for not actually going forward with the release after validation, no idea. I’m not from the team, just to clarify

justtobbi,

Had it for quite a while, its kinda hard to notice tho :)

darklightxi,

Hey there! Comment navigation should be available on the latest general releases on Google Play and App Store (it was introduced in a previous version v0.2.2+15). It could be possible that you had that option disabled (Settings -> General -> Comments -> “Enable Comment Navigation Buttons”)

The releases on GitHub contain the latest nightly builds of Thunder, which are updated more frequently but are more prone to bugs since they are more “experimental” in nature. I hope this clarifies some of the questions!

darklightxi, in Thank you Thunder devs!

Thanks for the kind words, we really appreciate them!

We’re still hard at work to make even more improvements to Thunder as a whole, with a greater focus now on improving general performance and stability of the app. Thunder is still a project that all of us contributors (including me) work on during our spare time, so its nice to hear that others are using and enjoying Thunder 😄

merikus,

I just wanted to say thank you for not making an Apollo clone.

I loved Apollo. It was a great app. But its UI seems to have short circuited the UI design of nearly every Lemmy app. If they don’t blatantly say they’re copying Apollo, it’s clear they are.

I like how you’re going in a different direction and trying new things. The Floating Action Button is a great example of trying to do something different.

Thanks so much to your dedication to this project!

darklightxi,

Working on this project is all about learning (at least for me), so I like to explore different avenues for creating something without necessarily copying another existing app. Rather, I’d like to think that Thunder combines some of the cool and interesting features scattered across all the other apps into one place.

I’ve personally used Apollo, so you’ll see some hints of Apollo’s UI even here (swipe gestures is one of them) 😅 If you have some feature or idea that would be nice to have in Thunder, you’re always free to open up a new issue on GitHub!

darklightxi, in Block Entire Instance?

Thanks for the question - this is a feature that is currently being worked on and should hopefully be available in the next general release for any lemmy instances running 0.19.0 and above. The main delay here was waiting for lemmy to natively support blocking instances.

If you’d like to keep track of the on-going progress for this feature (and general support for lemmy 0.19.x), see this GitHub issue!

TurdFerguson, (edited ) in Block Entire Instance?

Click on the instance icon on a post, it’ll take you to the instance page. Across the top will be several options. Scroll over to “block” and click that. It seems to take effect the next time you open or refresh Lemmee.

Edit: I should add, I have Sync, not Thunder, but it might work in a similar way.

This is available in the alpha, will come to the release builds soon.

JoMomma, in Password limit is set to 60 characters

Why in the f do you need 60+ chars for a password?

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Computers get faster all the time, making brute force cracking of passwords easier all the time. Password managers don’t care how long a password is. The task of filling it out is the same.

JoMomma,

60 character passwords with any amount of complexity would take effectively infinite time to brute, an 18 character password with complex characters would take millions of years… There is no reason to use 60, let alone more than

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Why make excuses for maximum password lengths? Just let people decided on their own if they want 200 character passwords or not.

JoMomma,

Well, there could be very reasonable reasons for the limit, like keeping the hash tables sane, or keeping databases from needing unnecessary padding, but there really isn’t any reasonable reason for needing 60+ characters in passwords

And how is this the duty of a client app to police that? OP says it’s about being able to log into their own instance and the client app is blocking this.

amju_wolf,
@amju_wolf@pawb.social avatar

Have you heard about pass phrases ?

Also, none of those is a sane reason to limit password length. A huge point of hashing is having short, constant length strings on output no matter the input. There’s no limitation or database issue there.

The only reason to limit password length is actually security (for bad algorithms) and DoS, but that requires a limit in the thousands.

Because there’s no reason not to and plenty of reason to?

darklightxi, in How do you reply to comments without using the gesture?

Hey there! As others have already mentioned, options to vote, save and reply to comments using the long-press menu are currently available in the nightly builds and will eventually come to the general builds.

If you are not on the nightly build, you can also enable comment action buttons which will allow you to reply to comments without the use of swipe gestures. To enable this, go to Settings -> General -> Comments and find “Show Comment Button Actions”. Let me know if you need any more help or have any further questions!

scytale, in How do you reply to comments without using the gesture?

On testflight (beta) you can reply by tap+hold or short swipe R>L. I actually didn’t know it wasn’t available in the regular release yet. I’ve also disabled L>R gestures because I can’t consistently navigate back without triggering the swipe options, so I’m with you there.

Thank you all for your hard work and for your update!

I checked the change log but I didn’t see anything about it, so I’ll ask here (and if it’s preferred I’ll also ask on GitHub): are there any plans for eventually enabling the search option to search for comments and/or posts too by any chance?

darklightxi,

Hey there! We do have a existing GitHub issue on this but we haven’t been able to get around to it just yet due to other priorities. If you would like this issue to be prioritized, feel free to give the issue a thumbs up so that we know!

Here’s the GitHub issue. Let me know if you have any other questions!

pendingdeletion, in [2023-10-06] Thunder Development Update

Keep up the great work guys

xooolooov, in [2023-10-06] Thunder Development Update

Thanks for the hardwork! What’s bothering me atm is sometimes it stuck on subscription page when i want to switch to All page

darklightxi, in [Request] Mark image posts as read after opening/closing an image

Hey there! There should be a setting which enables this function. The setting is under Feed in Settings -> General and is called “Mark Read After Viewing Media”

Let me know if you can’t find that option or if you have any other questions!

Odo,

I found it! Thanks, not sure how I missed it.

What about automatically hiding read posts?

WeLoveCastingSpellz,

You can hide them with a press of a button(purple one), I like that it is not automated

roanescence,
@roanescence@lemmy.today avatar

I too like that it’s not automated :) Btw the best client for lemmy. Matter of fact I’ll advertise it and add it to my bio. Thankyou devs

shortwavesurfer, in Where can I see may saved 'drafts'

You cant at the moment since a draft is only created if you leave the edit box. Though having an area for that is a good idea.
