2.26.0

This release is quite big, so let's dig in!

Android: Long press links for options

Long requested, on android (and desktop) you can now long press any link for options to copy/open/share.

View videos!

The video player has been significantly revamped. You can now open in a fullscreen viewer (like images), which means you have options to download/share as well!

In addition, you can now open videos from comments (with options to unmute and scrub) -- you're no longer limited to glorified GIFs in comments.

Also, wondering why some videos don't play properly on iOS? It turns out a lot of lemmy instances are misconfigured and don't support progressive streaming! I made a tool so you can check if your instance is configured properly for videos here: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming/ Please check and inform your admins if not!

Upload videos!

If your instance supports it (with filesize limits, and checking via my tool: https://aeharding.github.io/lemmy-streaming/), you can now upload videos directly to your Lemmy instance as a new post.

Improvements to tags in comment header

Previously, your tag and "new account" indicators would be clipped if the username was big (or highly nested comment). Now, if will always show at least a bit of your tag. In addition, if ellipsed, you can now tap the tag to view the entire thing. This should really help those that like showing the user instance (even when tagged).

2.24.0

Hi there!

Lots of bugfixes in this release.

The main feature of this release is changing how post/comment link sharing works.

What you may immediately notice: The "link" button the post action bar has been removed:

Instead, you can tap the share button and tap "open in safari" (on Android, you can tap your browser in the share bar).

Historically, the URL shared here has been the "fedilink" URL, which is a URL to the instance that the user originally posted to. This can be awkward to share/link to if the user that submitted the post is on an instance like lemmynsfw. But now, you can customize the instance that you share a post/comment link to!

By default, sharing a post/comment will now use a link to your current instance. You can change this in settings:

• Local: Default. You current instance.
• Community: Will use the community's instance of the shared post/comment. Note: You client must make a request to the instance to resolve this.
• Author: This is what was done historically in Voyager, so you can set to this to enable old behavior. It is the same as the fedilink.
• Ask: Voyager will always ask you how you want to share

In addition, if you want to choose the instance for a specific post, you can now long press the post action sheet share icon to bring up possible instances to share with.
