Ratings and reviews

The app could use a much better UI. Currently, my biggest problem is that when switching from the Profile to Customization secrion in settings to change from light to dark mode, the loading bar starts and never shuts off, preventing me from clicking anywhere. I waited a long time, but nothing changed. I am using an S24 Ultra with Android 15. Do you need logs? If so, please tell me the procedure for sending them.

dev.to admins deleted my account, because they erroneously flagged a viral post of mine as spam. Realizing their error they quickly undeleted my account. ever since I have been unable to use Forem. I can't login, can't reset password, and zero response from support. I can login to dev.to just fine. Forem is completely broken. I recognize this is likely entirely the fault of dev.to incompetence, but sadly it is Forem that broke.

It is really sad how you can't search for topics with the forem app.

What’s new

You can now follow subforems from the directory. Otherwise, mostly small fixes and performance improvements.
