There will most likely not be any more additions of features for the next release, just bug fixes for large bugs. I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone that has been working on PRs for this upcoming release, it has been incredible. This includes but is not limited to @bactaholic, @micahmo, @Fmstrat, @CTalvio, @ajsosa, @guigs4, @coslu, @minicit! Please let me know if I have missed anyone :D
Another note: I have created a Matrix space for Thunder for anyone who wants to have general chat there or to get replies even faster. The link to it is here: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
For things to test out, I would suggest:
- Test out everything you possibly can. Place heavy focus on general and most common actions (upvote, downvote, save, reply, comment, creating posts, etc)
- Look around for any issues with performance overall, or things that seem like they require an immediate fix
Without further ado, these are the changes from the last pre-release:
- Added initial way to block communities from the long press menu on posts. Long press a post in the feed page to show an option to block a community. Currently there is no way to unblock a blocked community, but that will come in a future release
- Added a whole bunch of UI tweaks and changes to post page, and in other places - contribution from @CTalvio
- Addition of community and user banners - contribution from @CTalvio
- Added pull to refresh to a few more pages - contribution from @bactaholic
- Showing collapsed comment count - contribution from @micahmo
- Sharing media directly as images - contribution from @michahmo
...and probably a whole bunch of other under-the-hood changes I forgot to note down 😅

The comments not showing up is fixed in the update
I am running the latest build published a few mins ago.
I've narrowed down the culprit, I think...
See this comment I made: https://lemmy.world/comment/982778
From the app's front page, from a post I clicked on the /c/, entered a thread, scrolled down to something with a few nests, and replied.
After replied it just reloaded the whole thread, and doesn't show up on my profile in the app. I had to get the link from the browser.
Edit:
This comment also doesn't show up.
When clicking the main comment from the profile page, I get an error, and it reloads this thread
From the profile page I saw your reply when checking "show all" and refreshing, but refreshing a 2nd time clears the whole list
The missing comments on the profile page is noted - this is the GitHub issue on it: https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/issues/249#issuecomment-1627488891
Just to clarify, the thread does not update when you press submit when entering a new comment? Does this happen to both the top-level comment (replying to a post) and also sub-comments (replying to replies/other comments)
I'll take a closer look at the inboxing part to see what's causing some of those issues. I probably won't be able to get to all of them for this release, but I'll see if I can fit some of them if they're simple enough to figure out
This seems to be 4 or 5-nest deep so I'm recording this reply now.
e: this reply seems to work fine, going to another nested
