Welcome to v1.43.0. This release adds a feature I've thought about since the start of the project but just never implemented: account creation! In v1.43.0 new users to Lemmy will be able to go through the entire account creation process (minus email verification) from the app.
The hope with this feature is that it will help reduce Lemmy's sign up friction even further, especially for Summit users.
Full changelog
- Added a create account option to the sign in screen.
- Changed the quote button when creating a comment. If text is selected from the "replying to" box when the quote button is tapped, that text will automatically be populated within the quote block.
- Fixed a crash that occurs when images are uploaded using Imgur.
- Fixed a bug where read posts appear as unread if a post is hidden.
- Fixed an issue where the title of a post is not shown in the detailed view.
- Improved the current community UI
- Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
- Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.

Bumped to v1.43.1 to resolve a minor issue with the build.
Update 2
Bumped to v1.43.2 to address some issues and also add some minor improvements.
- Refreshed the design of the community selector sheet.
- Updated the community icons across the app to be more consistent. The app will use auto-generated community icons for communities without icons.
- Fixed a bug where the bottom nav bar will disappear if you open an inbox item and then go back.
Well done!
