This was supposed to be the release that added local event tracking but I didn't end up having enough time to finish it. So instead of holding up the release I am releasing with local event tracking turned off. There will be more information about this once local tracking is ready. tl;dr is a lot of user requested features require local event tracking.

Full changelog

Add new FAB quick action - refresh posts.
Add listing type search filters (eg. filter by local, moderator view, subscribed).
Add feature to scroll post feed with volume rocker. Can be enabled in settings (Post feed). Default off.
Add setting to turn off saving recent communities.
Switch to use a different default user agent so the Summit client doesn't look like a bot. This should fix network issues. If you encounter any new network errors after the release, please ping me!
Improve performance of hide read by using API to hide some read posts.

Update

I made a mistake and didn't switch to using the new user-agent everywhere. Will fix this in a patch release (v1.74.1).

Use the new user-agent everywhere.

I tried all the different user-agents, but unfortunately none worked. FWIW, although all images load on my browser on my main instance (lemmy.zip), and many fail in the app, switching to this lemmy.world account caused the image from the same post to load in the app without issue (using the flutter user-agent)

It looks like lemmy.zip started going full bleeding edge and started to encode all their images as AVIFs. Unfortunately at the time of writing AVIF support on Android is spotty at best. The images load in browsers because browsers have better image support but as a small indie developer I can't add support for AVIFs by myself. In addition, the off the shelf decoders appear to be buggy and also huge. So, unfortunately there isn't much I can do.
