alpha v4

What's New

Community Discovery
has been added to the Search tab in three sections—Trending, Popular, and New. Most notably, the Trending communities section uses a
unique blend of algorithms
that refreshes with undiscovered communities every 10 minutes. Never run out of topics to follow again!
The
Compact Feed
can now be selected as Feed Style in your Appearance settings.
Video Support
has arrived. Watch videos directly in your feed and have them autoplay as you scroll. (Note: This feature is experimental and some videos may not load. Only YouTube links and direct links to videos are supported for now. YouTube videos are partially routed through Piped or Invidious in attempt to protect your privacy.)
Profile Editing
has been added in the Account tab.
You can now
copy user and community mentions
from the context menu. This makes it easier to mention a community or user in your comments and posts. (Tap and hold on any community name or username to show the context menu)
You can now
search and filter your communities
if you follow or moderate any.
You can now
open direct links, videos, and images
right from the ••• menu on a post.

Fixed & Improved

The Lemmynade icon has been redesigned based on community feedback. (You'll need to delete and reinstall Lemmynade to use the new icon if you've installed it to your home screen)
In preparation for sharing features and search engine indexing, Lemmynade no longer requires the access key previously listed in the community sidebar. This was a temporary measure to filter out bad actors and focus on testing.
The Explore tab has been renamed to "Search" for clarity.
On community pages, more of the description is visible so you don't need extra taps or clicks.
To prepare for the future ✨, Settings have been rearranged a bit. Impressive, I know.
Sometimes, if you got your username or password wrong, Lemmynade would tell you that your instance was not valid. This wasn't always true, so it has been fixed.
Local/remote indicators next to usernames and communities have been removed to reduce clutter. You can now tap-and-hold on community names and usernames to immediately see what instance they're from.
As a subtle nod to one of the original readers, the "My Feed" icon was changed to a newspaper.

What's New

Text can now be selected in posts, comments, and other areas you might want to copy things

Fixed & Improved

Ad-blockers were causing Umami Analytics to throw fatal errors and reload each page unnecessarily. I'm not trying to pull a YouTube, so this was fixed and you can now use your ad-blockers freely 🙂
Fixed a bug that was sometimes causing the "Signing In" overlay to never disappear on the installed web app even after successfully signing in
Fixed a bug that was adding about half a second of unnecessary loading time to each page
Fixed an issue where reloading community pages and other pages with markdown caused an error
Fixed a bug that caused unreadable white-on-white text for dropdown menus in Vivaldi

Known Issues

The desktop version of Lemmynade is in progress and will be available at a later date. Lemmynade is best used on small screens and mobile devices at this time.
Post creation is not the most elegant experience at the moment.
Accessibility for screen readers, etc. is very limited at this time.
Tabs do not always retain the last route or history.
Sometimes, when returning to your home feed, it may spit you out above or below the scroll position you were at last.
