  • Is there a way to finally contribute? I’ve got minimal coding expertise but would like to contribute in some way.

    Of course! We’re always looking for contributors to help with Thunder regardless of level of experience.

    Here’s some general information about Thunder

    • Thunder is developed using Flutter which allows for cross platform compatibility (iOS and Android at the moment)
    • We have Weblate for translations, if you’d like to help localize Thunder into other languages
    • If you don’t know where to start, feel free to look through our existing issues on GitHub or join our Matrix space. I’ll gladly answer any questions you have regarding our codebase!






  • Huh. I did that in my recording!

    Oops, I didn’t see that part 😅 That’s definitely weird then, I’m not able to reproduce the problem on my end. My best guess is that there’s maybe an error that’s causing this to not work (e.g., maybe a clash when it tries to save that community with another already saved community)

    I can add in more error messages in the next nightly build to get a better understanding of what the underlying issue is!

    A last ditch resort that you can try (totally up to you of course) is to reset the local database Thunder Setting: Debug > Reset Preferences and Data > Delete Local Database. Doing this will remove any logged in accounts that you have and also other app-only data with the exception of preferences (e.g., favourites, existing drafts).


  • Thanks for the video! I completely forgot you could favourite a community from the overflow menu there 😅

    I just tried it from the overflow menu and was able to get it to work, although there seems to be another bug where the state doesn’t update until you refresh the community.

    Can you try this to see if it works?

    • Add the community as a favourite
    • Refresh the community
    • Check to see if it was added





  • Hey there, thanks for the kind words!

    You’re right - at this time, there’s no way to create or reply to private messages just yet. This is something I want to introduce but I’m just currently backed up with other (not as fun but arguably more important) tasks like preparing Thunder for the upcoming Lemmy API changes and app stability/performance improvements 😅

    Given that this has been requested a few times already, I might be able to implement a quick version of this just to have it as an option!
