Loving the new updates, but what all has changed? (kbin.social)

I tried looking around for a changelog but I couldn't find one anywhere (let me know if you know where it is, I know you can look at the commits/merged PRs on Codeberg but there's a lot to dig through).

Here's some of the changes I've noticed:

Profile picture next to username in top right
Comments can now be sorted by "top"
Larger image preview when uploading an image
Magazine stats are now localized (yay!!!)
kbin logo instead of stormtrooper in the "Create your own instance" box
Vote colors are brighter on dark mode
New theme: Tokyo Night

This is just what I've seen after using the site for a bit after the update, let me know if there's anything I've missed!

Edit: I just noticed that you can filter posts by language now, that's huge!

Soon I will try to craft a post about whom exactly we owe these changes to. Today there's already too much excitement for one evening ;)

For the next few hours, the website may be slow. We are working on a fix.

The iOS PWA logs out whenever I lock my screen. Is that something that will be fixed? I love kbin ty for all the work you do!

I haven't seen that report before, if it's happening consistently with you can you add it as an issue on https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues

We adjusted the manifest to add in the updated logos and shortcuts and it's working correctly on Android.

Good to make a report in case there's some underlying issue

Hmm. Interestingly, I just tried it again and it seems the issue may have fixed itself (probably affected by the other changes). If it does start again I'll make a report. Thanks!
