I hope at some point more people start contributing to the core lemmy codebase as well. I don’t suppose there’s that many rust devs out there, but I think that would have much more of an impact in the long run.
Lemmy really needs something like topics, categories or tags you can opt-in or -out of. There are just too many communities to subscribe one by one and if I browse everything theres so much super boring niche stuff, like some Go library releasing version 0.02-beta. I mean that’s nice for those 5 Go programmers waiting for that, i guess, but they are probably subscribed to it anyway.
I browse an All > New to find communities I like. There’s not really so much content that it’s overwhelming, unlike if you did that with a huge site like reddit.
I remember someone attempted to create an instance to centralize all content from nsfw instances so your All feed is explicitly nsfw and you don’t need to subscribe. Dunno what happened but I think the instance is gone now.
Call me a fuddy-duddy if you like, but I just browse Lemmy in a browser via the default interface, on both desktop and mobile. And this has not yet caused my spleen to spontaneously catch fire or anything.
I’m really not convinced everything needs to be an app.
For some reason, I can not log into any instance of Lemmy on FireFox mobile. No errors or anything; I log in, it goes through reloading the page after submitting my credentials, and then I am not logged in. :/
Desktop FireFox is fine. I do have problems with the posts (but not the page containing them) loading when trying to view it through Steam’s overlay browser though.
Props to the Lemmy-ui devs for designing a mobile capable site that’s light and works well.
I use Jerboa but I have to switch to browser to view other Lemmy server links but it’s seamless, and better than what I can say for 95% of modern mobile websites.
Uh am I just special, because I saw February 29th 2023 immediately Isn’t a lot of things formatted in the DD/MM/YYYY type especially for expiration dates
I find my brain reads dates the US way first and then immediately rereads the EU way after, when that doesn’t make sense. It’s pretty automatic.
Not even tangentially related… but I replaced the dumb American (and I know UK as well) 3 fingers gesture with the German 3 when I learned of it as a teenager. It’s so much more efficient and reasonable compared to stretching our fingers out unnaturally…
I heard about one called Raccoon being made and now I am waiting for that to have a download all for the name alone. I’d like to keep with Liftoff but the dev had a kid not too long ago and that was the last we’ve heard from him. Unless something changes soon, 0.19 Lemmy is gonna break Liftoff :(
The only apps are really care about are the ones that were created before or during the great redded debacle. Anything coming out months later, especially ones that charge money. Yeah no. You weren’t here when this began. You’re just coming in after everything’s already been cleaned up. No I’m not saying that people shouldn’t develop apps. They can do that if they want but there’s really no reason to switch when something is already working and it’s been working fine for months.
I think you don’t have in mind that it takes time to develop an app. Some people do it in only their free time so it takes even longer. I think some apps started being developed during the reddit blackouts.
