[v1.82.3] F-Droid release & more

I want to officially celebrate the release of Summit on F-Droid.

Although the app has been available on F-Droid for about a week now, I waited until the 1.82 release F-Droid to make the announcement in order to get everything ready and updated.

Launching on F-Droid has taken a lot of effort so we are celebrating in the release notes. In many ways, the biggest project in this release is getting the app ready for F-Droid. This includes updating all of the links, graphics and websites.

Now onto the 1.82 release. This update brings more quality of life improvements. The big one is a much more powerful duplicate post detection system. It's never fun to see the same post twice so this feature aims to eliminate seeing duplicate posts forever (as long as you are on the same account). The original feature was introduced many versions ago but it was an experimental feature and it has never worked very well.

The other big change introduced in 1.82 is the inclusion of per-user scores. You may notice these scores appear beside usernames. They display the total times you've upvoted a particular user minus the times you've downvoted them. Credit to Voyager which I think is where this idea came from initially.

Full changelog

• Add per-user scores in post/comment headers. Enabled by default. Can be disabled in settings (Settings > Misc > Per-user scores).
• Add "Change feed" button to the top bar so it's easier to discover.
• Greatly improve the duplicate post detector. Can be disabled in settings (Settings > Posts feed > Mark duplicate posts as read).
• Change default for "hide banner if no banner" from off to on.
• Change default community back to lemmy.world. Done for UX reasons since the changelog is hosted on that instance.
• Fix a bug where the block instance button doesn't do anything on the instance information screen.
• Fix gesture conflicts on the image preview screen.
• Fix a crash due to the new PieFed comment reporting endpoints.

Update

Releasing an update to address some bugs. Update version is v1.82.3.

• Fix a bug where the emoji selector doesn't show up sometimes.
• Fix a bug where the ¯\(ツ)/¯ emoji is not escaped correctly.
• Fix a bug where the alt-text field expects a URL when it should expect text.
• Fix a crash that occurs when clearing local event data.
• Fix a bug where the bottom nav bar shows up on the post screen when it should be hidden.
• Add a warning message to the filter dialog if a "Match entire word" is on but the text contains more than one word or special characters.
• Changed the default for per-user scores from enabled to disabled by default. Can be re-enabled in settings (Settings > Misc > Per-user scores).
