Hey there, sorry for the late reply!
Could you describe the specific mod features you’d like to see for comments? Right now, there’s no specific timeframe for when they’ll be added but I can gradually add them in over time (depending on what features take priority over others)
Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for mentioning this. As others have mentioned, it would be great if you could make a new bug report on GitHub for this issue! It makes it easier to track and ensures that it doesn’t get lost/forgotten.
This is a bit technical, but as for why this may be happening, it seems like it might be trying to parse an HTML tag when rendering to text. HTML tags usually use < and /> to indicate the tags, which seems to be similar to the cases you’ve pointed out.
Hey there! Good question - I can answer them for you
Are drafts stored indefinitely?
Right now, they are stored indefinitely. They’re stored similarly to how your app settings are stored, and the only way to clear them is to uninstall and reinstall Thunder.
If I keep creating new drafts without ever finishing them, will my storage get full?
That’s a possibility but it’s very unlikely that your storage will get full just from stored drafts since they’re just plain text. Text usually takes up very little space compared to other data (e.g., images)
Is there a way to see all my current drafts?
Is there any way to delete drafts?
If you go back to a previous draft, you can delete the draft but that’s all there is at the moment.
That being said, we are working on features for better draft management to allow viewing/deleting drafts. The related GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1375
Hopefully this answers all your questions!
[Pre-release] v0.5.0-2

This is the second pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0, and I apologize for the delay on this one! I've been a bit busier lately, which has resulted in less available time to work on Thunder. This version includes some small additions but is mainly focused on a few important fixes.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Additions
- Added debug setting to customize image dimension timeout value by hjiangsu
- Added new community stats for community visibility/local subscribers by micahmo
Changes
- Migrated draft storage to local database by micahmo
- Immediately remove blocked users/communities from feed, disable ability to block self by micahmo
- Apply community/user display names globally by micahmo
Fixes
- Fixed sidebar lag when subscribed to a large amount of communities by hjiangsu
- Fixed user profile showing general feed by hjiangsu
- Fixed labeling by micahmo
- Fixed text field spell check causing exception on ** text by hjiangsu
- Fixed a minor typo in 'Change Password' page by wadamT
Misc
- Updated instances by github-actions
- Updated translations from Weblate by hjiangsu
That’s a coincidence! I don’t believe that’s actually Thunder since that looks to be a Windows app (although you can technically build Thunder on Windows so there’s a very slim chance)
was wondering where this is originally from?
Here’s a bit of backstory!
The Thunder logo was inspired from other thunderbolt vector images that I encountered online. All of the images I encountered felt very “sharp” so I simply tried to adjust the corners to be more round.
So while there isn’t technically a “source” of the logo (at least that I’m aware of), I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already something very similar! 😅
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I replied to the main post regarding this issue - there should be a fix for this in the next nightly build
Hey there, are you by any chance subscribed to a lot of communities? If so, that may be the reason for the stuttering when opening the drawer.
This is a known issue and I have fix for that in this PR which should greatly improve that: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1452
Occasionally, it also stutters when I scroll through my feed.
Do you mind sharing if you have full height images enabled? Generally, having that on is a bit more intensive because Thunder needs to calculate the width/height for each image (as Lemmy does not provide that info directly) - this should improve once Lemmy sends back the image dimensions in their API!
If you don’t have that option enabled, feel free to submit a new issue on GitHub and I can take a closer look at it. Thanks!
Hey! I think there might’ve been some misunderstandings I would like to clarify.
In the previous versions (v0.4.0 and below), the in-app setting for default feed type/sort was also applied globally for all feeds (e.g, subscribed, local, all, and individual community feeds used the same sort type). In this update, the same thing applies, except that it’ll use your Lemmy account’s default feed type/sort instead of the one configured within Thunder. The main reasoning is to allow your Lemmy settings to sync across apps!
I hope we can still get different sorting types per communities.
Definitely! There are plans to allow for custom sort types per feed/community mentioned in this GitHub issue. When this feature eventually gets implemented, that setting will take precedence over all other settings if (that makes sense). Once this is implemented, the order of precedence would be:
- Sort type of individual feed/community (if enabled)
- Lemmy account default feed sort type (when logged in)
- Thunder’s default feed sort type (for guest accounts)
[Pre-release] v0.5.0-1

This is the first pre-release for Thunder v0.5.0! As always, this pre-release version contains many additions, changes, and fixes.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Important: Your feed settings (default feed type and sort) will now be based on your Lemmy account settings. The previous feed settings will now ONLY apply to guest accounts. As such, you may have to re-configure your default feed type and default sort type.
Some notable changes to test out:
- The Account Settings has been updated to include even more settings that are synced to your Lemmy account. You can change your display name, profile bio, email, default feed type and sort, and more! Additionally, the user/community/instance blocks have been moved to their own dedicated page for easier management.
- Experimental: You now have the ability to view a post as a different user. You can access this option by tapping on the three-dot menu within a post, and choosing "View post as a different user". When this happens, you temporarily switch accounts and can perform actions and even comment on the post as if you were that account.
- You can now set custom labels for users which allows you to append a note to a given user. To access this feature, long press on a comment and select User -> Add User Label.
- Groundwork is being laid out to improve the performance and reliability of the post page. This new experimental post page is locked under the new experimental features toggle. While this is not yet complete, you can test out the new post page by enabling experimental features in the Debug settings page.
The full list of changes since v0.4.0 are mentioned below. As always, if there are any bugs or issues, please submit a new GitHub issue.
Additions
- Added new experimental post page by hjiangsu
- Added ability to create links to settings. by micahmo
- Added account birthdays to user chip by micahmo
- Added ability to view entire post as a different account by micahmo
- Added ability to import/export database by micahmo
- Added support for custom user labels by micahmo
- Added post/comment language metadata by micahmo
- Added additional account settings by hjiangsu
Changes
- Disabled account switching when editing post or comment by micahmo
- Deferred loading image dimensions when viewing image preview by micahmo
- Decreased layout jank from images within comments, and improved image error states by micahmo
- Removed page scroll animation when switching between bottom navigation items by hjiangsu
- Moved experimental push notifications under experimental flag by micahmo
- Improved parsing of video speed setting by micahmo
- Improved link sharing for images/video URLs by micahmo
- Show placeholder icon for posts without thumbnails by micahmo
- Allow snackbars to be closed on action by micahmo

Fixes

- Fixed issue where optimistic voting would not reflect upvotes/downvotes properly by micahmo
- Fixed post text preview showing raw markdown by hjiangsu
- Fixed dialog button alignment, disable autocomplete suggestions for user labels by micahmo
- Fixed snackbar positioning when opening/dismissing keyboard by micahmo
- Fixed mark post as read when previewing media on 0.19.4 by hjiangsu
Misc
- Fixed macOS build errors by hjiangsu
- Removed javaToolchain binaries by hjiangsu
- Removed
pushpackage Android dependency by hjiangsu - Adjusted modBan localization string by micahmo
- Misc: update PR template by hjiangsu
Update: it seems like this issue is isolated to v0.19.4. This is the PR which fixes the issue and should land to a nightly build soon! https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1444
Hey there! There are a couple of options I would double check:
If you go to Account Settings, can you check if "Show Post/Comment Scores" is enabled?
If that setting is enabled, I would go to Settings -> Appearance -> Posts and double check that the score metadata is added to Card View Settings
If none of these work, then I would suggest opening a new GitHub issue with some more details on how we can reproduce this issue. Thanks!
Hey! Currently, profile editing is quite limited as others have mentioned. However, we’re adding more settings for profiles in an upcoming nightly version.
If you’re curious, this is the PR which adds display name, bio, and a whole bunch of other options: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1436
Hey there, thanks for mentioning this issue! Can you let me know what version of Thunder you’re currently using?
If I have any updates on this, I’ll let you know!
Thanks for confirming this! Does this happen every single time? Or are there specific scenarios that trigger this?
For example, if you reply to a short post/comment, does the markdown toolbar disappear? It would be really useful if you could make a new issue on GitHub for this (with possible reproducible steps or videos) to help us figure this out! Additionally, which keyboard do you use? Is it the stock keyboard or a different one?
I still haven’t been able to reproduce this on my end so it’s tough to figure out what the root cause is unfortunately 😅
Hey there! Could you make a new feature request on GitHub for this? It would also be useful to include screenshots of what you’re describing as well.
Hey, thanks for the report! Could you create a new issue on GitHub for this with more details? For example:
- Is the whole app laggy or just specific portions?
- What type of lag are you experiencing? Is it slow load times or unresponsiveness
- Is this an update or a fresh install?
And any more relevant information that can help us narrow down the issue!
One thing that might help is to try clearing your app cache. You can do this through Android, or by going to Settings -> Debug -> Clear Cache
Thanks for the report! I'm assuming it's not possible to scroll up any further?
Edit: This does seem to be a bug since the markdown toolbar should show up right above the keyboard. However, I'm not able to reproduce it on my end
Thanks! Keep up the great work on Tesseract

If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.
If you're enjoying Thunder and would like to show some support, star this project on GitHub! This helps gain visibility for the project and allows more contributors to help with the continued development of Thunder. If you'd like to show some appreciation, here is a post with details on how to donate to the active contributors of Thunder.
A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:
🎉 New Features
- The comment creation page has been fully re-built from the ground up and introduces a few new features, including the ability to specify the comment language, ability to comment as a different user, and addition of spoilers to the markdown toolbar. If you have any suggestions or feedback regarding these changes, feel free to make a new issue on GitHub!
- There is now initial support for video playback on Thunder! The built-in video player should work with most video URLs (that end in a proper video extension) and should work with YouTube URLs. Additionally, you can customize some video settings such as playback speed, auto-mute, auto-play and more in the Settings page. The video player is still experimental, so there may still be some issues present.
- Additional customization options including the ability to customize the colours of actions (upvotes, downvotes, saving, etc.), hiding thumbnails from the feed, showing user/community avatars, and much more.
ℹ General
- There have been improvements to the overall UI/UX across the board. This includes improvements to the pure black theme, improvements to markdown rendering of tables, quotes, and more.

This is the third pre-release for Thunder v0.4.0! This pre-release version introduces experimental support for videos, and many other changes and bug fixes. This will be the last pre-release containing new features as the upcoming pre-releases will mainly focus on fixing any existing issues that come up to prepare for a general release.
Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Some notable changes to test out:
-
There is now experimental support for videos - Thunder should now be able to play most videos (including YouTube videos) within the app. Thanks to ggichure for implementing this! As videos are still experimental, please submit any issues you find on GitHub.
-
You can now switch between users when creating a comment. This feature should work as long as the comment is federated to the other account's instance. Big thanks to micahmo for implementing this feature!
-
There have been some tweaks to the UI for the account page and user management pages. Thanks to CTalvio for working on this.

Hey there! As others have mentioned, it could be an issue with your network.
Are you perhaps using a VPN? If so, this may be an issue as some instances block image uploading or other actions (I believe lemmy.world blocks image uploads if you’re using a VPN)
If you’re still having issues, feel free to open up a new GitHub issue and we can take a further look into this (as a side note, I’m using iOS and I haven’t encountered any issues)!

Hey everyone, its been a while but it's finally time for another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.
A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:
🎉 New Features
- Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder. To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All). To access a community modlog, navigate to the given community and find "Modlog" in the extended actions.
- Mod reports are now available to view and resolve within Thunder via the drawer. If you are a moderator or admin of a community/instance, you should see a new "Reports" option under the general feeds. Only post and comment reports are available at this time. Private message reports will come in a future update.
- The user feed has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions.
- An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance.
- Thunder now has an in-app changelog for updates. It is turned on by default, but can be toggled off in the settings. This changelog should help you keep track of what additions, changes, and fixes have been added in upcoming versions.
ℹ General
- Improvements to markdown rendering. Spoiler markdown detection has been improved, and there is now initial/experimental support for subscript and superscript markdown tags. Markdown quick actions when creating posts/comments will be added in the near future.
- You can now customize the user/community name format and style across Thunder! This is accessible through Settings -> Appearance -> Theming. You can adjust the font weight, colour, and format for both user and community names.
- Improved UI/UX for long press actions, and additional customization options including customizable feed dividers and navigation bar labels.
And much much more. I can't go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog below.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.
Please see below for the full changelog since the last general release. For those on TestFlight, you will receive the pre-release update once it has been approved by Apple.
Some notable changes to test out:
- Instance and community modlogs are now available in Thunder! To access the instance modlog, tap on the triple dot button located on the top app bar and select "Modlog" when viewing general feeds (Subscribed/Local/All).

- The user feed (not to be confused with the account page) has been fully re-worked to provide a better experience similar to the general/community feeds. This means that you can now change the sorting when viewing a user feed, and use the FAB for additional actions! As this was a large under-the-hood change, please mention any bugs or issues you encounter while navigating to user feeds.
- An instance explorer has been added into the Search page. This allows you to explore communities, posts and comments for the current instance! Thanks for micahmo for implementing this feature.
- Added initial support for marking posts as read when scrolling through. Thanks to Fmstrat for implementing this feature.
Note: There is currently an issue where blurred posts on the feed will flicker when scrolling (primarily on iOS). This is noted and a fix will hopefully be applied soon (this issue does not come from Thunder, but from the Flutter framework).
Thanks again for sticking around, and please mention any bugs and issues that you encounter when using this version!

Reminder: users on instances upgrading to 0.19
Hey everyone, just a friendly reminder for those on instances that are either about to upgrade or have recently upgraded from version 0.18 to 0.19 (e.g., lemmy.world, lemmy.blahaj.zone, sh.itjust.works, etc.).
After your instance updates to 0.19, please remember to re-authenticate (i.e., log out and log back in). This is because of some authentication changes made in 0.19 which invalidates the session.
Thanks!

This can be done in Settings -> Appearance -> Compact/Card View Settings. Simply drag and drop the metadata information you want to see on your feed. The order of the information will be the order that you drag it into the preview.
- Experimental local push notification support on Android. Thunder has experimental support for handling push notifications locally on Android devices. When enabled, Thunder will attempt to fetch new notifications in the background while the app is not running. Please note that this feature is highly dependent on the Android OS and their battery saving settings

- Support for spoiler markdown tags. Spoiler tags will be automatically minimized, and can be expanded when tapping on them
- Support for creating cross posts for an existing post, and deleting existing posts
