    Unread messages count and not being able to tap on the community from the compact view are awesome! Great release!

    Anyone else’s cache for this app get big suuuuper fast? That is my final gripe. Using it for a few days will get up to like 600mb so I clear it often.

      Hmm, this could just be from all the media that is cached when you use the app. Could you open up a new GitHub issue on this so that we can take a closer look at it?
