Waves is our short-form, fast-moving way to post on Hive, and it got a lot of love in 4.4.0.
The biggest change: For you now brings Waves from across the network into a single timeline. No more hopping between communities to catch what is happening. It is all in one place.
Every Wave card now shows payout, vote count, and replies, and not just on For you. Following feeds and tag feeds get the same treatment, so you can tell what is resonating without opening each one.
People you mute are now filtered on the server, so your feed stays the way you want it across sessions and devices.
Videos no longer autoplay while you scroll, including embedded ones. That means a quieter feed and less data used on mobile.
Deleted or unavailable Waves now show a clear, friendly screen instead of a dead end.
Each Wave now carries a small source badge, so you can see where it came from at a glance.
We also fixed publish times on custom feeds and tag selection on Following.
We hardened the feed so that one failing community can no longer wipe out your whole For you timeline. If one source has a hiccup, the rest of your feed keeps flowing.
Waves is now faster to scan, clearer about value, and steadier than before. Jump in and post a Wave today.
Tomorrow: new ways to create. Follow to keep up.
