@megalodon already running it. I like it! Thanks!

@megalodon "Disallow connections with fascists."

Could you clarify this one? How does it work?

@j So it's application level? That seems like something that should be announced and fleshed out beforehand.
@megalodon this also includes my upstream changes that introduce photopicker for adding images to toots 👏
@megalodon the new home looks great! I can't wait to get the update!
@megalodon thank you for supporting the federated timeline and moving it out of the search tab when the official app won't (+all the other great features) ♥️
@megalodon @moshidon Thanks for the great work!
I wonder if there is a way to manage (add/remove) lists?
@mkras @moshidon profile → three-dot menu → your lists
@megalodon @moshidon I love all the new features. Thank you for all your hard work that's truly made Mastodon so much more usable.
@megalodon @moshidon nice! Look forward to trying new version!
@megalodon @moshidon the new home tab is awesome, very nice work 
@megalodon
Thank you for this very nice update, I love the new home button!
@moshidon
@megalodon Thank you for the update. My filters still don't seem to be working yet. They work on the webapp, but show up on Megalodon.
@dodoandthebrawn could you share examples (like what your filters are set to and what posts still show up)? this could make debugging a lot easier. also, keep in mind that "hide with a warning" filters don't work yet!
@megalodon I've discovered the filters work if I have one set up like this one for Trump with only one keyword, but not if I try to set one up for multiple phrases and words grouped together like for Musk. The grouped ones do work on the webapp.
@dodoandthebrawn okay, that's definitely good to know, thanks!!
@megalodon Just wanted to update: filters don't work on hashtags. I've tried configuring them every way I can, but the posts still show up. (I'm looking at #Tennis and have filtered a certain player and posts with their name still show up. They do not on webapp.) They do work on Home and Lists.

"Disallow connections with fascists"

Sounds good. I don't want to encounter fascists online (or irl).

But:

1. I'm not a fan of app level censorship. The people running an instance should be the ones blocking certain other instances
2. The user should be able to opt out
3. Where is the blocklist? What's on it?

@megalodon @moshidon your #Megalodon app is the best I tried to use #Mastoron on my #Android phone (Pixel 7 Pro). But I don't know why, the image preview of a shared link is not displayed in the post (see this print screen from one of you posts). Is it a bug ? Thanks.

@megalodon @moshidon Thanks for the new and cool version.

Instead of having two Home icons, what do you think about moving the floating pencil icon to the bottom toolbar and getting rid of the redundant home button there?

@elon_masked @megalodon it's not gonna be redundant next update :)
@moshidon @elon_masked but also: how would you navigate from, say, notifications to home if there's no home button? i mean, the back button works, but there should be a button to do that
@megalodon @moshidon
doesn't the home button at the top do that?

@elon_masked @megalodon @moshidon it's not a home button at the top, that's a dropdown with an indicator for which timeline you're in

it wouldn't make sense to show it in the other tabs since they're not timeline tabs

@megalodon @moshidon @elon_masked would it be weird if i swooped in again and told you that putting action buttons in navigation elements is not the most intuitive? xD /lh
