v0.2.1-alpha.4+12

This is the fourth pre-release of Thunder for v0.2.1+12! This nightly fixes some issues introduced in the last pre-releases, and adds a few new features. The main focus for the upcoming nightlies will be fixing any outstanding issues and bugs that were introduced previously.

Be fully prepared to know that these pre-release versions may contain major bugs which could cause Thunder to crash or behave unexpectedly.

These are some of the changes that have occurred since the last pre-release. For things to test, I would suggest all the usual actions, and all the new features/changes which have been introduced in this nightly:

Changes

• Added maximum depth to comments threads and added a "load more replies" icon to load more replies. This should hopefully fix issues with comments randomly appearing when scrolling past a comment
• Login flow improvements. This includes checks for correct lemmy instances, better handling of login errors, and more - contribution from @micahmo
• Switched the in-app browser to use custom tabs rather than a WebView. This should lead to better and more native browser experiences - contribution from @micahmo
• Adjusted theming options to pop up a modal rather than having toggles to reduce confusion when selecting between system, light, dark, and black themes - contribution from @coslu
• Added ability to share post, external link, or media from share button when you are in the post - contribution from @micahmo
• Added ability to disable post and comment swipe actions separately
• Adjusted divider and link preview card colours to have better contrast and to better match the overall theme
• Fixed issue where you could not log in through email. This hopefully also fixes issues with not being able to edit your own comments
• Fixed issue where refreshing a community when tapping on a link would show local posts rather than the community's posts
• Fixed some more issues with talkback/voice over reading an extra letter in the subscriptions list
