Interstellar App
I translated Interstellar into Ukrainian. https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/interstellar/interstellar/uk/
Per the [recent request](https://kbin.earth/m/interstellar/t/347803/Translatable) to make Interstellar translatable, I have migrated the majority of the text within Interstellar to use localized strings (I'm still working on the final components though). If anyone would like to help translate Interstellar into their own language, you can do so through the [Hosted Weblate](https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/interstellar) (which is also where Mbin holds its translations). So far, we've already had one contributor add the majority of the Spanish translations (so big thanks to gallegonovato).
You should improve your return on post submissions The app does not let the user know in any way that their post has been successfully submitted This makes it extremely embarrassing when you accidentally launch a spam attack due to simple ignorance, and then have to delete everything and apologize.
It comes with almost all MD3 apps, but this page is really hard to use. I wonder if there's some possible tweaks to make it better.
[github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases/tag/v0.6.0 ](https://github.com/jwr1/interstellar/releases/tag/v0.6.0) I'm going to start with this warning (just so no one misses it), but don't use push notifications if your Mbin server is on v1.7.0, v1.7.1-rc1, or v1.7.1-rc2. More info below. ## Features - Add option to set default feed filter - Create a panel for post links along with a menu for alternative sources.

This only works if you have a [UnifiedPush distributor](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/) installed on your Android device. Once installed, you just have to click "Register push" on the notifications page for all the accounts you want to receive push notifications for. WARNING: Do not use push notifications if your Mbin server's version is less than v1.7.1-rc3; there is a critical bug present that WILL DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT if you press the unregister button on the affected versions. The affected versions are v1.7.0, v1.7.1-rc1, and v1.7.1-rc2. You can see a list of Mbin servers with their versions here: [joinmbin.org/servers](https://joinmbin.org/servers/). - Add a True Black (AMOLED) toggle in the settings - Use built in themes from the flex_color_scheme package for theme selection.

## Features - The user page now shows the date a user joined. - A user's username now has icon indicators for "Cake Day", "New User" (created within 14 days), and "Bot Account". These indicators show in threads/microblogs, comments, the explore users page, and profile pages. - Move the thread "Domain" button to the overflow menu, in order to give more room for other UI elements (and since it's not frequently used). It looks like "More from youtube.com". ## Fixes - Decode Lemmy thread and comment responses as utf8; by @olorin99. - Add a safe area to nav drawer so it doesn't bleed into the status bar on Android. - Fix the markdown editor's toolbar button sizing. - Fix post date format so instead of "2024-06-10T18:52:24.000Z", for instance, it shows "June 10, 2024, 6:52:24 PM". - Fix user profile followers & following inconsistent UI. - Fix default threads sort setting not saving.

### Features ### * Profile editing is now on a separate screen and comes with options for deleting your avatar/banner and editing many of your account settings such as when you get notifications, whether to show NSFW content, if your subscriptions and followed users are public or not, etc.; by [@olorin99](https://kbin.earth/u/olorin99). * A new compact post layout is available for use and makes browsing the feed view a lot more readable on desktops, tablets, and wider screens in general.
