Currently there is not an option for disabling haptics. I have been planning to go through and add haptics in more places throughout the app, and add some options for configuring the haptics, but I have not gotten around to it just yet. This is something I’ll definitely work on for the next update. You’re absolutely right that it can be an annoyance when a server is having issues, as it can spam errors during that time.

There is not currently a setting for hiding community icons in the subscriptions list. It would be easy enough to add an option for disabling the icons though. My thinking was that the icons were essential since there can be multiple communities with the same name, often times the icon is what sets them apart.

Is this just a visual/aesthetic preference for you, or is there another reason you’d like to disable the icons?

My pleasure! Theme support is something I have wanted to add for a very long time, but I never had the time to work on it, as I knew it would be a lot of work. I’m glad you like it. I could be mistaken, but I believe you may be the first person I had spoken to about theme support nearly a year ago, well its finally here now.

I am planning to make some improvements to the theme editor. I want to add descriptions for each color to specify what it changes. I also need to go through and prevent setting transparency for some colors, and I need to add more preview views so you can see how the theme will look in different contexts.

While I was making the default themes, I used vscodethemes.com as a reference for most of them. I just used a color picker and dragged the hex color into Arctic (you can drag and drop any of the colors, including dragging colors from other apps). For testing, you can set the theme you are editing as the active theme, and then whenever you press Save, the theme will be applied throughout the app. This way you can make changes, and then quickly test them in different views.

The themes look great, and the links work well. I didn’t test this until now, but I was able to download and install the themes without leaving the app. So that is great. By the way, if you long press a theme in the theme browser, it allows you to share the generated preview image like the ones I included in the post. I thought this may be useful for anyone sharing a theme to be able to include a preview.

Unfortunately, Apple does not offer a way to enable in app purchases in TestFlight. You are able to switch between the AppStore version and TestFlight version without losing any settings. Alternatively, I do have a Buy Me A Coffee set up if you’d rather use that. I have a link for this in the community sidebar, but I am unable to include alternative payments inside the app itself.

Thank you! I was an avid user of Apollo since day one, Arctic was my way of coping with the loss.

This is a great idea, I hadn’t thought about that before. I’ll look into adding this in the next update.

I’m glad you like it!

Thank you for bringing this up, It’s something I keep forgetting to address. Instance blocking in Arctic was added before Lemmy added support for instance blocking. Currently, Arctic does instance blocking locally, rather than using the API. I’ll add support for this in the next update.

Thank you for letting me know about this. I had fixed this before, but I must have broke it again in the last update. I have this resolved now. I’ll have small update out soon to address this and a few other issues.

In the mean time, there is an option in the appearance section “Show Community On Top” which will move the community label to the top of the post. This will prevent this issue from happening until I release the next update.

Indeed this is already a feature, You can view community modlogs from the (•••) menu at the top while browsing a community. You can also view the instance modlog in the same location while viewing your home feed.

If you are a moderator, You can also access the modlogs for your communities from the inbox tab under the “Mod Zone” section. You can also manage reported content in the mod zone.

I just wanted to check and see if the latest update resolved this issue for you? I wasn’t able to test this on a real device, only the simulator.
