Interstellar update: cake day, new user, and bot indicators, several UI changes & fixes

Features

  • The user page now shows the date a user joined.
  • A user's username now has icon indicators for "Cake Day", "New User" (created within 14 days), and "Bot Account". These indicators show in threads/microblogs, comments, the explore users page, and profile pages.
  • Move the thread "Domain" button to the overflow menu, in order to give more room for other UI elements (and since it's not frequently used). It looks like "More from youtube.com".

Fixes

  • Decode Lemmy thread and comment responses as utf8; by @olorin99.
  • Add a safe area to nav drawer so it doesn't bleed into the status bar on Android.
  • Fix the markdown editor's toolbar button sizing.
  • Fix post date format so instead of "2024-06-10T18:52:24.000Z", for instance, it shows "June 10, 2024, 6:52:24 PM".
  • Fix user profile followers & following inconsistent UI.
  • Fix default threads sort setting not saving.

  • any plans for a 'disable thumbnails/media from posts' and 'pull media only when clicked' feature?

    the benefits could be huge, for both the user and the servers when a few ppl use it.

    edit: also realized that it also would be cool if the same could be done for user pictures and maybe user-profiles.-as someone who prefers not seing any images. - after press and hold the username images: profile pictures could be whitelisted/blacklisted (last one if someone doesn't like the specific users 'content'.

    • I didn't have plans, but I could see it being useful (especially if you're on cellular), so I'll add it to the to do list.

    • another side note: if I click at a user like olorin who has his kbin.earth acc listed in his bio and click it a few times than I would have to click/swipe back a few times tho. - or close the app and reopen.

    • that's weird, if I have Interstellar in the background and open it again:

      ClientException with SocketException: Connection refused (OS Error: Connection refused, errno = 111), address fedia.io, port 39866, uri=https://fedia.io/api/notifications/count

      &

      Instance of 'DiagnosticsProperty<void>'

      • Yes, I get the same thing. It's something I need to fix.
