If they really do shut off API access I'll go into partial link aggregator withdrawal. My Lemmy instance still isn't upgraded to the latest versions which are compatible with apps, so I don't browse on my phone.
Try using the Progressive Web App (PWA) instead. I'm on iOS and haven't found a good app for Lemmy yet but the PWA has helped me get used to Lemmy on my phone in place of Reddit. You just open the site in your phone's native browser (Safari on iOS, probably Chrome on Android?) and choose "Save to Home Screen". Now it looks like any other app and behaves like it too, even though it's secretly just the web page.
hi, do you think you could walk me through how to download something like this or point me in the direction of a guide or something that could? i’ve been using lemmy just on browser but would be interested in something like this, i’ve just never installed anything like it before and don’t quite know what to do :) thanks!
Open https://wefwef.app in your mobile browser, open the share slid out menu or however that menu is called and click on "add to home screen". That's it.
One thing to be aware of is that it should probably be done with the original system browser, so Safari on iOS and Chrome / Samsung Internet on Android. At least I didn't seem to get the option to add to home screen from Firefox on Android, and I'm also not sure every iOS browser will have add to home screen in the share sheet.
OK, thanks. Guess I must have overlooked it when I searched for it (because I started in Firefox). I still think it's worth to be aware of in case people use some really specialized browsers with certain limitations.
Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it's called "add to home screen")
This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)
When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on "lemmy.world", and log in to your Lemmy instance.
Enjoy.
One thing to be aware of. If you have selected more than one language in your Lemmy profile, wefwef fails to post comments because you need to select which language you typed in, and you can't select that (yet?) in wefwef.
I think it’s partly a selection effect of who bothered to come here. On the positive end, scrolling All is more likely to show things relevant to me I wouldn’t have found.
On the negative end there are few comments to interact wjth
On this platform I'm much more likely to actually type out a comment, even when there are a just a couple (or none!). I feel like people will actually read it.
I would’ve started by asking them to explain these fees that you don’t recognise, rather than immediately arguing. Take the innocent approach of “I don’t recognise these charges on my bill, could you please explain them?”
That was such a great episode. I watched it last night and woke up thinking about it. Really great. I love the addition of Pella in the crew, and that La-An went to her for help later in the episode.
Do have to admit that I was a tad disappointed that Pella didn’t come to her at the end remarking something about the clothes looking familiar.
And this James T. Kirk is growing on me! I first wasn’t convinced, but he really was so good in this episode. The call at the end was so bittersweet.

Linux is a kernel. At the beginning, software, especially userland software mimicked Unix conventions. There is very little requiring that anything work the way it does, except for inertia and convention. As cloud native conventions gain steam, a lot of them are working their way backwards into things like Nix. Having spent some time working with things like K8s and Packet and cloud-init quite a bit, I welcome declarative instantiating and configuration at the OS level, at least for those use cases. Stuff like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Salt etc have been the middleware between the legacy OS layer stuff and a declarative CM system, but they all have an absolute pile of complex scripts and tests to make sure that when you say “I want this package installed”, it knows how to do it correctly and safely on the target system. Using a leaner declarative model at the package level makes it a lot simpler to declare the desired state.
I am pretty bearish that it will ever see overwhelming adoption for desktop users, but I see it having a ton of relevance when you want to orchestrate a whole butt load of server instances
This happened to me when I was streaming. My favorite hobby became like a job. I only played while streaming and the time I was putting in outside of work was kind of killing me. Working a full day, coming home to do dinner and time with my wife and then start streaming by 8pm a couple days a week. It exhausted me. At some point I started to skip days and then I just never went back. Now I play games as a form of entertainment like watching Netflix/Hulu. I do it for leisure.
Sometimes I miss it though and think maybe I should try and get back into it but so far I've just not.
Newbie here after RIF went to Valhalla, I really hope this place grows and develops and people stay. I am enjoying it so far it reminds me of ol' forum days and Reddit of old, maybe I'm just being nostalgic but I just want this to work well and hope it's not just a short lived influx!
It just worked. You could swipe to vote and to comment. You had the ability to read messages mid thread. It looked good. It was also the spiritual successor of alienblue, an app that was well loved and bought out by Reddit to make their official app which retained very few similarities.
And beyond all that the dev worked hard, communicated with users, and was extremely up front about how Reddit screwed him over with the API change. He’s the one that Huffman accused of threatening Reddit. The other app devs didn’t record their interactions with Reddit.
