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.

- Content in this community
Hello people!
We wanted to make a short announcement regarding posts in here. We would like to encourage you to keep posting feature suggestions/discussions about this app or lemmy in general.
Please use the GitHub issue tracker for bug reports however, since it is important for us to keep track of those and they don't require a discussion anyway.
Have a great day!
P.S.: We also have a matrix space now, if you want to join and hang out with out :)
- am stupid or there is no way to send a dm in thunder?
is it an option, cause i cant find it anywhere? if it is, please tell me where can i do it
- feature request: block a community
I scroll all:scaled fairly often, as my list of subs isn't super active, but there are some communities that come up fairly often that I would rather not see. Is there a way to implement that on the client side or would that require a Lemmy change?
- Disabling Navigation Gestures
Is there a way to disable the app's back navigation gesture? It kinda overlaps with Android's back gesture
- Feature Request: Preferred dark theme
I use the follow system when setting a theme. However, Thunder defaults to gray theme rather than amoled.
Would love to have the option to set a preferred dark theme so that it defaults to the amoled option instead.
- [Screenshot] Color contrast for OP and mod names
Edit: nvm, I changed something in settings, it was user error. Pls disregard
Hi Thunder devs, I have an accessibility issue to report regarding the special styling for original poster and mod names (changed with the last major release). I haven't checked against WCAG, but I'm pretty sure they don't meet color contrast standards; it's pretty hard to read the grey text, especially over the 'mod' orange.
Otherwise, no complaints. I really dig Thunder, I chose it as my daily driver after months of testing alongside Voyager, Eternity, and Jerboa. It just feels more responsive and intuitive, and the customization options are quite good. Nice work!
- Feature request: Horizontal swipe for next/previous post in feed
Feature request: Horizontal swipe for next/previous post in feed
I would love this as an option for navigating between posts, and I'm surprised that most Lemmy apps don't have this.
Joey for Reddit had this feature, as does the official Reddit app. Connect for Lemmy has this feature, and Boost for Lemmy doesn't show the comments in swiping mode. Eternity is the only Lemmy app which does it properly so far, but development has fallen behind in other areas.
Would the Thunder devs consider implementing this feature? It would probably win me over!
- Way to collapse profile when viewing saved posts?
Any way to collapse your profile as you scroll down your posts / saved posts? Sometimes I want to send a screenshot of a post I saved but the profile is taking up a lot of space together with the bottom tab bar.
- Missing default sort options
The feed default sort options list is missing "scaled" and "controversial" options. Would be great if those could be added. Thanks for the great app!
edit: Looks like this is already in the works: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1298
- Login seems broken?
For some reason, my app can’t seem to handle logins correctly. I am able to log in ok, but the account management page never shows the login, which means I can see my inbox, etc.
I haven’t tried completely deleting and reinstalling yet, but I have tried to log in several times with no change in app behavior.
- Mod-deleted comments still appearing, rendered
With the recent Thulean* comment spam attacks, mods have dutifully deleted the offending comments, but Thunder still renders the deleted comments.
Connect seems to have the same bug
Voyager and Jerboa show the comments as deleted
Examples:
https://startrek.website/post/8228446
https://ani.social/post/2729729
https://lemmy.world/post/13350248
- How can I swich between two instances?
How can I switch between two instances and make all the sub lemmies I subscribed to appear in subscribed section?
- Devider between posts?
If i remember correctly, there was some space between posts in early versions. On 0.2.9 in card view, there is no space. Is there some way to get back this post divider, so that I can easier see where one post ends and a new one begins?
- Reporting posts/comments
Does Thunder currently support the ability to report posts and/or comments? I'm having trouble finding any way to do this from the app.
- Request: Add an option to reload feed after switching account
When I switch between logged in accounts, I have to manually refresh the feed tab/view to reflect the account switch. I would prefer the reload be done automatically, an option to allow users to specify this behavior would be ideal.
- 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!
- Space after `:::` in spoiler
It seems that the web UI treats spoilers without a space after
:::
the same as the regular ones, while Thunder ignores those as spoilers. It looks like the closing spoiler marker may be entered without whitespace but it consumes extra text after the spoiler, and overall acts weirdI can create an issue if that's needed, or this post may be referenced in an existing issue to be used as a test
```

Hey everyone, it's time for yet 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
- Initial support for moderator actions. Thunder has added support for some moderator actions such as locking, pinning, and removing posts. To access these actions, simply long-press on a post and select "Moderator Actions" from the menu. Additional moderator actions such as mod logs, and reports will come in a future update.
- Support for high-refresh rate devices. Thunder should now feel smoother on Android devices with high-refresh rate displays, and should no longer be limited to 60 Hz. For iOS, Thunder also supports ProMotion devices.
- Customizable post metadata. You can now customize the post metadata information (vote counts, comment counts, etc) on your feed! 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
ℹ General
- Additional UI/UX and quality-of-life improvements. This includes but is not limited to:
- 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
- Addition of more options including hiding top app bar, medium font scale option, and colorized usernames
- Added new condensed post body view to the post page which shows a smaller preview of images and thumbnails
- Added the ability to search posts/comments directly from community feed
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.

- How do I reply to private messages?
I can see the message but can't seem to actually reply to it.
Thank you.
- Two features only half work?
Still loving Thunder but there are two issues I'm having in creating posts.
When I enter an URL, the app gives me a suggested title but selecting it does nothing.
One community wants me to select the language. Again I can find the language in the list but not select it.
I hope you can help.
EDIT: okay, both of these features work on my phone but not my tablet. Both are Android device.
- Getting logged out when switching between wifi and data
Does anyone else get logged out when switching between wifi and mobile data? I notice when leaving the house (or coming home) and my phone switches between wifi and data (and vice versa), the app asks me to login again. I have the beta/testflight version.
- Thunder app features and settings
I'm a newbie coming from voyager app. I liked using thunder for a while and when i tweaked the settings i liked it even more Never thought thunder was this feature rich.
Even now I couldn't find out how to personal message a user and please share more features you liked in this app and settings that can be tweaked to get more out of it
- Question: Creating Community in App
Is it possible to do this? From my understanding, it’s not mentioned in the README or any way to create a community in the app.

Hi everyone and happy new year! 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:
🎉 Features
- You can now edit your own posts, and set the appropriate language for your post. When you open your own post, you will see a pencil icon which will allow you to edit your post along with the language.
- The Settings page has been overhauled and re-organized, with post and comment previews for certain visual settings. This should hopefully provide a better overall experience for adjusting and customizing your settings.
- You can now set Thunder's app language to any of currently available translations. Please note that the translations are not fully complete, and you may encounter untranslated content.
- Additional settings have been added in which sync up with your Lemmy account. This includes showing/hiding read posts, showing/hiding scores, and showing/hiding bot accounts.
- There is now a Safari extension which allows you to open Lemmy links within Thunder for iOS users. This extension is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the system settings under Safari -> Extensions.
- Favoriting communities is now available. When you favorite a community, it will be prioritized throughout the app (in the drawer, search results, etc.)
- Keyword filters are now available in the Settings page. Adding keywords will filter any posts whose title or body containing one or more keywords.
- Many quality-of-life improvements including collapsible post bodies, more community translations, addition of more sort types, improved search filters.
⚙️ Performance
- Improved general loading times when starting up Thunder. This should result in some drastic improvements for certain instances.
- Updated many under-the-hood dependencies.
And much much more. I can't possibly go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog on the GitHub announcement.
As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org
If you find any issues or would like to suggest features, please open up a new issue! As always, contributions are always welcomed here.

I would just like to thank everyone for the continued support and contributions. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and knowing that others enjoy it drives me to continue working on it!
If you would like to show a token of appreciation, you can buy me a coffee. The donations will help support some of the development overhead costs!

Thanks to a tip from @jerry I am using the @thunder\_app client to access infosec.pub and I am already really enjoying it and getting value from it. I have found a couple #infosec communities already - anyone got any they particularly like? @GossiTheDog? @neil?
- searching for communities.
Apologies for yet more dumb questions. Not sure if it’s a Thunder thing or a Lemmy thing.
When I go to search for new communities, I only get the option now to search within the instance I signed up on (Aussie.zone) instead of everywhere. Have I accidentally changed a setting somewhere?

- [2023-12-18] Thunder Development Update
Happy holidays everyone ❄️! I'm back again to share some updates on Thunder’s ongoing development for those who might not be keeping tabs on our progress in the Matrix space or GitHub.
The next upcoming update will be hopefully released within the next couple weeks, and will bring a whole set of new features and quality-of-life improvements! We’ve been working on some of the most requested features, so I hope you enjoy them.
> PSA: Lemmy 0.19.0 is now officially released. As your instances begin upgrading to 0.19.0, please be aware that you will need to log out and log back in for some things to work
Here's a brief summary of the main features we will be releasing in the next Thunder general build:
- Ability to edit your own posts and set the post language.
- Full reorganization of the settings page, with post and comment previews.
- Ability to search for keywords in comments when you’re in a post.
- Setting to combine comment scores, and show user instance.
- Safari extension to open Lemmy links in Thunder on iOS devices.
- Ability to favorite communities. Favoriting communities will create a new section in the sidebar for quick access, and will prioritize them in community suggestions and search results.
- Ability to set keyword filters. Adding keywords will filter any posts whose title or body containing one or more keywords.
- Performance improvements which should drastically reduce the start up time for some users.
- And much more as described in the changelog!
For those on the nightly or TestFlight builds, you will mostly have access to these features already for testing. Please report any issues that you see so that they can be fixed before it hits general availability.
A huge thanks again to everyone who has been actively contributing, and as always, we are constantly looking for more contributors to the project! Thank you for all the community members for contributing translations. If you would like to help contribute, feel free to reach out on our Matrix space or on GitHub.
- Can you block an entire instance from Thunder?
Pretty much the title. I could not find an option to do it, nor did I find comments or commits about it.
