Arctic v0.2.8 released on TestFlight yesterday. The biggest change in this version is updated support for Lemmy v0.19. I noticed d that several lemmy instances have already updated to v0.19 RC, so I wanted to get this release out as soon as possible.
I also finally added support for overriding the default system font size, and an option to open links in the default browser, or in reader mode.
I finally tracked down a long standing bug that would cause crashes for many users when exiting a post view, or shortly after doing so.
Coming up next in v0.2.9
In the next release I’ve added an all new Mod Zone for quick access to all your mod/admin tools. You can view all your reports, or mod-logs per community. I also added Admin support for managing new user applications.
You can now access your moderated communities in a new section on the subscriptions view, and you can also swipe to unsubscribe from communities.
I’m working on a few more QoL updates before rolling out the next release

Awesome, thanks for adding reader mode and font size setting!
Notifications work well, but I noticed that tapping on arctic notifications opens the post in the in-app-browser inside arctic.
I managed to get this working finally. Arctic now resolves post and comment URLs on the active instance. So far, this seems reliable in my testing. There are instances of dead links, and blocked instances where resolving fails, and it will take some time to add support for viewing as guest on the home instance. For now those cases fallback to opening in the browser.
Sounds awesome!
