I was waiting for this announcement. So happy that he’s on board with us. A decade of using boost before, and I’ll use it for another when he releases boost for lemmy.
Edit for clarification: This notice is only about the changelogs posts the Java Team has been making for quite some time which we have decided stop, it is not an official policy for all of Mojang Studios, Xbox or Microsoft.
I really hope @christianselig is paying attention to all this. It sounds like his iPad work would directly translate over here and a bit of work would create a fedi app.
For sure, if Apollo existed for fedi sites, it would be amazing. I didn't realise how much I hate using reddit website since using Apollo and without the app, the site is dead in the water for me.
Don't know if you use Lemmy, but wefwef for Lemmy is such a nice webapp and feels almost just like Apollo. Features are being added on the daily but it's become by far the best experience for me for browsing Lemmy instances right now.
kbin lacks an API with an equivalent feature set. Ernest is aware of this and it's on the bug tracker. Any working apps for kbin are using site scraping as a temporary workaround. In layman's terms it means the app developer is doing a lot of extra work that will mostly get thrown away when the API rework is complete. Artemis is the only one currently doing this off the top of my head.
I read somewhere on here that Kbin doesn't have an API available right now and that Artemis is making their own API through scraping. That'd play a big role if it's true. I also wouldn't be surprised if migration numbers were skewed towards Lemmy either.
Scraping is hard on a server though. You gotta download the entire page and all its data instead of just the info/action you requested. That's one of the reasons other websites bother to make APIs, so bots and others DON'T start just scraping them.
Tbf you can see some kbin stuff from lemmy either through desktop or a mobile app, but Sync for Lemmy is planned to have kbin support too, but we'll see.
The Navy also had a recording of Taps on YouTube, but what with the ad-blocker changes happening at YouTube right now, figured that the Navy site would be a preferable source.
I’ve been trying to get up and running in the fediverse since Tuesday. I have registered for accounts with several Lemmy instances (https://sh.itjust.works/, lemmy.srv.eco, and others). In every case I haven’t gotten a registration email. When I try to log in I get an error saying that my email is not verified. It’s frustrating because I’ve downloaded Liftoff and wefwef and Jeroba - but I can’t sign in to any account to participate.
I’m glad that my account registration worked for kbin. If anyone has experience registering with lemmy would be great to understand what I’m doing wrong or if it really is that these servers are so backed up that they are not sending out automated emails. Or can I use an email address to register with only one lenmy instance and never with any other?
I had a hard time registering with beehaw.org during the last growth spurt. It took a few days for the registration to go through. Once it did, I got approved right away. Give it a few days to calm down. Of course, now that you are on kbin, you really don't have to sign up anywhere else for most purposes.
I just uninstalled it for the first time since I created a Reddit account in 2012, and I'm pretty sure it was the first app I ever paid for. It was always number one in the download list for a new phone. Occasionally I'd fancy a change and try other Reddit apps, but they never lasted more than a few minutes. Give me that clean interface any day. Big thanks to the devs for all the fun over the years.
Aww man I have had Relay Pro for so long but have only been on Reddit recently to look at my sub list to work out what I’m missing over here (and find/create equivalent communities)
Spez is a fuckwad who has convinced himself that his table is what makes the food taste good, and these shortsighted users that stuck around are pissed that the potluck is over.
