The explore community feature tab is great too. But i initially thought that was for searching communities, posts, comments and users.

The top drop down is initially the most confusing element when in the Explore tab. Why does it take me to All, Home and Local posts? I was trying to search or explore communities. I realise it’s the same drop down feature as in the Post tab. Not sure why the duplication.

Unrelated, the best feature in the app is how all the ui slides away when i start scrolling posts. chef kiss.

    … and you just fixed all this issues in the latest version 1.0.4. This post aged faster than milk.

      Just good timing lol. Hoping to get the update in the App Store tomorrow or the day after.

      Love hidden bars myself, so built the app to support it from day 1. Pure black dark mode + no bars is sooooo clean.

        Hey, is it possible to add a sort such that you’ll see one newest post from each of your subscribed communities? I’ve subscribed to a lot, and some of the active ones with multiple posts a day shadow communities with very little activity. I end up not seeing those low activity communities in my feed at all, even if there are new posts. Does that make sense?

          I’m planning to do community groups, so that’s a bit similar. No way to do it for all your subscriptions without a looot of API requests, so not gonna happen unless the backend changes unfortunately. Don’t want Avelon to be heavier on the servers than neccessary.

            That sounds like it could work. If you could auto create a community group of all moderated, that would be great. Or even Moderated as one of the options along with Home, All, and Local, that would be perfect.

        Sorry to highjack this comment section, but can you confirm it’s not possible to create to post on Avelon ? I can’t find it anywhere, hence my lil highjacking here !

        I also noticed it’s not possible to add links, pics or make text italic, bold in comments. I guess it’s not ready yet ?

        I have to admit Avelon is my favourite app atm. It’s just smooth and good looking. Still needs some tweaks here and there but this is really nice. I thought I’d stay on Voyager but you made me change. Great work !
