🌟 New
- The first cut of settings for communities is now available. Admins of communities can change the name, tagline, avatar, header image, tags, and description. You can find a link to these settings in the sidebar for your community on desktop, or in the context menu on mobile.
- The community invite popup has been given a design refresh, including a counter of how many invites you have left.
- Communities now display whether they are public or private in their header.
- Community admins can now promote members to moderators. Moderators can delete posts, and we’re still building out the feature, so expect to see things change in the next few weeks!
- We’ve updated the blog posts API endpoint to add the options to specify a sort order and an “after” time, to complement the current option to show posts from “before” a specific time. When using “before”, and by default, posts are sorted in reverse-chronological order (“descending”). With “after” and “sort = asc”, you can sort posts from oldest to newest instead, starting at a certain time.
🛠 Fixed
- Since secondary blogs cannot post to communities yet, your primary blog will now always be selected when posting to communities.
- Certain activity coming from communities, such as mentions in posts and comments, and soon invitations, now count towards your unread activity total.
🚧 Ongoing
- We are aware of ads auto-playing audio in the Android app, sometimes quite loudly, and are working on a fix!
🌱 Upcoming
- We are working to rename Community Labels to Content Labels across our official clients (Web, iOS, and Android), as well as Community Guidelines to User Guidelines. We hope this change will prevent any potential confusion regarding the relationship between these and Tumblr Communities.
