  • Hey there! Good question - I can answer them for you

    Are drafts stored indefinitely?

    Right now, they are stored indefinitely. They’re stored similarly to how your app settings are stored, and the only way to clear them is to uninstall and reinstall Thunder.

    If I keep creating new drafts without ever finishing them, will my storage get full?

    That’s a possibility but it’s very unlikely that your storage will get full just from stored drafts since they’re just plain text. Text usually takes up very little space compared to other data (e.g., images)

    Is there a way to see all my current drafts?

    Is there any way to delete drafts?

    If you go back to a previous draft, you can delete the draft but that’s all there is at the moment.

    That being said, we are working on features for better draft management to allow viewing/deleting drafts. The related GitHub issue is here: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/issues/1375

    Hopefully this answers all your questions!


  • That’s a coincidence! I don’t believe that’s actually Thunder since that looks to be a Windows app (although you can technically build Thunder on Windows so there’s a very slim chance)

    was wondering where this is originally from?

    Here’s a bit of backstory!

    The Thunder logo was inspired from other thunderbolt vector images that I encountered online. All of the images I encountered felt very “sharp” so I simply tried to adjust the corners to be more round.

    So while there isn’t technically a “source” of the logo (at least that I’m aware of), I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already something very similar! 😅



  • Hey there, are you by any chance subscribed to a lot of communities? If so, that may be the reason for the stuttering when opening the drawer.

    This is a known issue and I have fix for that in this PR which should greatly improve that: https://github.com/thunder-app/thunder/pull/1452

    Occasionally, it also stutters when I scroll through my feed.

    Do you mind sharing if you have full height images enabled? Generally, having that on is a bit more intensive because Thunder needs to calculate the width/height for each image (as Lemmy does not provide that info directly) - this should improve once Lemmy sends back the image dimensions in their API!

    If you don’t have that option enabled, feel free to submit a new issue on GitHub and I can take a closer look at it. Thanks!



  • Hey there! There are a couple of options I would double check:

    If you go to Account Settings, can you check if “Show Post/Comment Scores” is enabled?

    If that setting is enabled, I would go to Settings -> Appearance -> Posts and double check that the score metadata is added to Card View Settings

    If none of these work, then I would suggest opening a new GitHub issue with some more details on how we can reproduce this issue. Thanks!




  • Thanks for confirming this! Does this happen every single time? Or are there specific scenarios that trigger this?

    For example, if you reply to a short post/comment, does the markdown toolbar disappear? It would be really useful if you could make a new issue on GitHub for this (with possible reproducible steps or videos) to help us figure this out! Additionally, which keyboard do you use? Is it the stock keyboard or a different one?

    I still haven’t been able to reproduce this on my end so it’s tough to figure out what the root cause is unfortunately 😅








  • Hey there! As others have mentioned, it could be an issue with your network.

    Are you perhaps using a VPN? If so, this may be an issue as some instances block image uploading or other actions (I believe lemmy.world blocks image uploads if you’re using a VPN)

    If you’re still having issues, feel free to open up a new GitHub issue and we can take a further look into this (as a side note, I’m using iOS and I haven’t encountered any issues)!
