Ciao guys, as usual for thr first week of the month, a new production release has been published!
This version contains some stability issues (especially when navigating through comments or posts, opening and closing a post detail, etc.), some performance improvements when opening contents or refreshing (for cases that were, at least to me, very annoying) and several layout enhancements (duplicated paddings, progress bars where they shouldn’t be, system nav bar color, etc).
There are a couple of brand new features too, such as admin tools and the default editor language on a per-instance basis, plus the downvote option is not shown any more if it is not allowed by your instance.
There are lot (trust me, a lot) of under the hood improvements: new unit tests being added, several dependency updates and the whole project was migrated to Kotlin 2.0.0, Compose Multiplatform 1.6.11 and Gradle 8.8. As you may have noticed, this made it also possible to launch iOS builds apart from Android ones, and I dont exclude that in the future I may be working on a desktop port.
Have a nice month! 🦝🏳️🌈🦝 And enjoy the release!
nice. One question. Can I create new communities from raccon app?
No, you are the first one asking for it! You can modify an existing community if you moderate it, but I’ve never thought of adding the possibility to create one. I’ll open a feature request for it, to remember about this issue.
thank you _
I can’t think of a place in the UI where this feature can be added… the edit screen can be accessed from the options menu of the community detail if you are a moderator, but I don’t know where to put the “create community”: maybe in the profile? (the profile screen is already cluttered and there have been discussions in this community and several rejected proposals)…
uhmmm, perhaps here
or better
Wow, super fast answer! I like the second one better, because the “Edit community” is not visible for all users. I’ll go that way and, if we decide to move this option somewhere else in the future, no problem (hopefully software is not carved in stone)! Thanks!
thank you for your work and this good app
On it, work in progress.
This may also be the opportunity to update the Edit/Create screen with the new
visibilityoption (Public/LocalOnly) that they added in Lemmy 0.19.4 which is a step towards the creation of private communities, currently experimental on the back-end side.
