Shadow release

There is a "shadow release" v0.1.26 rolling out right now. It doesn't add any features. It just fixes some bugs. That is all.

I'm calling it a shadow release because I'm not making a new post for it

Shadow release 2

Based on the wonderful discussion in https://lemmy.world/post/1350726, I have made some changes to how "Hide read" works. This update should hopefully be available in the play store in ~ 1 hour. We are on v0.1.29 now because I had to make some hot fixes along the way.

My implementation uses Lemmy's server side logic to hide read posts. Therefore, if "Show read posts" was enabled, the "Hide read" button would do nothing. To avoid user confusion, the "Hide read" button is only shown when "Show read posts" is disabled. After thinking about this a bit more, I think I'm coming to the conclusion that this group of features should all be client sided. This is going to take some time to implement. I'll work on it tomorrow. I'm also in the middle of implementing gesture actions so this will have to wait until I am done with that.

Yeah, I think it is better to keep this client side let better show read posts option keep working globally and have the client to hide read posts with the FAB button.

I think Connect for Lemmy does something like this (no switch though) without messing with Lemmy's settings.

It has two options, one for mark as read while scroll and the other to hide the read posts but hidden posts does not interfiere with other apps.

Anyway I think it is a big progress to have a button on a FAB already, keep on the good job man!
