Hey guys!
Another week and another Avelon update!
The biggest feature in this version is posting (so you can finally post in this community without using the webui!) and a better native GIF player! The feed should also be even more buttery smooth (unless you doomscroll for 2 hours straight, or so I’ve heard).
Changelog
- Added posting! - Supports link posts, image posts and text posts - Automatic uploading of images to Imgur! - (No way to edit posts just yet)
- Much nicer GIF video player - GIFs can now be paused - GIFs show progress just like videos
- Added pull to refresh inside posts
- Videos with audio now play nicer with background music
- Improved autoplay behavior for videos and GIFs
- Inline images with a name/alias now show the name as well as the image itself
- Improved layout on small devices with large fonts
- Performance improvements (should be even smoother now!)
- Squashed some pesky bugs
If you enjoy the app, consider leaving a review on the app store as it helps out a lot! And tell all your friends plz
Hope you enjoy the update & let me know what you think!

Avelon is making its way to becoming my favorite app. Just really need a “next top level comment” button and for the Posts button to refresh to the top of the feed instead of showing all the communities
Excellent! Avelon is quickly moving to the top of my stable of Lemmy apps. Thank you for the hard work
Thanks. This is now my favourite app for Lemmy !
Link?
Edit: looks like I already downloaded it, but here’s the link https://apps.apple.com/us/app/avelon-for-lemmy/id6450952178
I think the performance is better on most things after this last update, but scrolling still seems slightly “laggier” than when I first downloaded the beta.
As a side note, I would love to have Color Schemes one with dark grey and darker grey (as opposed to straight OLED black), and a “sepia” with font as dark brown and the background as beige/off-white. They are easier on the eyes for some reason.
And thank you for all of the hard work on this project.
Also happy to give tips! Prefer that anyway. Avalon is one of my top two!
Is there an Android version?
It’s a native iOS app
Wow, this is an awesome update! Thank you!
Do I need to download the non beta version to tip? Is there a place to support my favorite app directly?
Hmm I don’t think apple allows payments through testflight, but not sure
