IMPROVEMENTS This was more infrastructure work mostly in regards to the Home feed.
We worked heavily on the backend that would make home feeds more intuitive. Please see the following workaround for this at this time if you run into any issues. The last update (1.8.9) on April 3rd 2023 had been EXTREMELY important and those that did not log in will most likely face issues with their home feed.
  1. Make sure you are onΒ v1.9.0Β (webapp only; mobile apps' update has not launched yet). Use this tutorial to see how: How to check what version of the site you are on
  1. Like + reblog a post from someone you'reΒ already following
  1. FollowΒ someone newΒ thenΒ like + reblogΒ a post from them
  1. Click on subscription feed and then back to home feed. It should load everything!
If you continue to have this issue please send in a ticket to ourΒ helpdeskΒ so we can look into things further. Thank you!

IMPROVEMENTS There was no visible changes or fixes done this update. We went ahead and worked on the infrastructure as mentioned in the last platform announcement.
The Dev team has finally released its new infrastructure.
It is literally So so important that you use InkBlot even for a few likes or following a few people right now. One or two likes or following some new people. *Note: Make sure you are on version 1.8.9 (desktop)
This new infra will make inkblot faster, smoother and the feeds more intuitive. We have worked on this for 4 MONTHS and the missing piece is literally having users just USE INKBLOT. Of course we would love for you to use inkblot more than that but we just need account activity to make this final push.
ANY BUGS: Please contact support! Use the chat widget or email support@inkblot.art
Again this has taken me and the other Dev FOUR MONTHS to work on. We are almost done and Phase 3 shouldn’t take long at all!!
