What’s New
Version 2.4.1
Features
- Filter Seen Posts
- Share Images
- Share Videos

- Smarter Video Post Sizing

Bugfixes
- Opening links, images, and videos marks a post as read
- NSFW posts and hybrid posts (image or video posts with text) properly load thumbnails in compact mode
- Clicking link post thumbnails when in compact mode opens the browser
- Increased the hitbox size of the + button when adding an account to make it easier to tap
- The subreddit name is no longer shown redundantly on every post when in a specific subreddit
- r/all and r/popular will once again show subreddits
- Fixed a rare app crash. Turns out certain kinds of SVGs would cause the image rendering library I'm using to crash. When scrolling, if a link post pulled OpenGraph data that had an image pointing to one of these SVGs, it would cause Hydra to completely crash.

Perfect replacement for the bloated default app
Genuinely the best alternative Reddit client on ios
The fact that it’s open source is absolutely amazing. The dev is responsive, and the code base being public means I can contribute my time as well. Truly amazing
