Arctic v0.2.8 released on TestFlight yesterday. The biggest change in this version is updated support for Lemmy v0.19. I noticed d that several lemmy instances have already updated to v0.19 RC, so I wanted to get this release out as soon as possible.

I also finally added support for overriding the default system font size, and an option to open links in the default browser, or in reader mode.

I finally tracked down a long standing bug that would cause crashes for many users when exiting a post view, or shortly after doing so.

Coming up next in v0.2.9

In the next release I’ve added an all new Mod Zone for quick access to all your mod/admin tools. You can view all your reports, or mod-logs per community. I also added Admin support for managing new user applications.

You can now access your moderated communities in a new section on the subscriptions view, and you can also swipe to unsubscribe from communities.

I’m working on a few more QoL updates before rolling out the next release
