Evergreen5970 , to technology in Lemmy needs two things to be successful

Lateposting, but DIDs would also solve a problem I have on kbin. I have an account on a certain kbin server because I wanted to pick a smallish server. A server small enough that it isn’t a big hub and thus helps out with federation, but big enough that it’s probably not just one person’s personal server that will only ever run during the 10 minute windows where they personally want to check kbin, which probably won’t overlap with my own.

Sometimes that server goes down. So I also have an account on the biggest kbin server of them all, kbin.social, so I can still use the site and interact with it when my home server is down.

Posting this on Beehaw because I didn’t subscribe to Technology until after this post was made, and I currently have no way to force this post to show up for me on kbin.

kalanggam , to technology in Can we get Apollo dev to create a Lemmy iOS mobile app?

Hey, although it’s no big deal since this is also about Lemmy, there’s a megathread for all Reddit-related news and discussion here. We’ve been encouraging everyone to direct most discussion related to Reddit there, and I figured it might be worthwhile to pose this question there since it concerns a former 3PA for Reddit. Thanks!

Tagger , to android in Thunder: A new app for Lemmy

Love this app at the moment - it will have a fight when SyncForLemmy comes out.

Sync isn’t going to be FOSS, so no, there is no competition, IMO.

Tagger ,

I mean, they are going to be pulling from a similar pool of users. While I agree philosophically that FOSS is better, I can imagine some of the paid features from someone being able to dedicate themselves full time to developing an app may be preferable.

Check out wefwef, it’s a mobile app but it replicates the Apollo experience shockingly well.

Me at the beginning: Oh, great. More time travel. I'm so sick of time travel and temporal mechanics. The Science Vulcan Directorate has determined that time travel has been done to death.

Me at the end: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

ryan ,

You echo my exact sentiments. I was so prepared to be disappointed by "yet another time travel episode to modern day, oh boy" and the writers pulled it off.

I've been incredibly impressed by S2 so far, gotta say.

Sweetroll789 , to youshouldknow in YSK: how to painlessly migrate you and us from reddit

I’ve been using wefwef for a bit and just installed memmy. IMHO wefwef has the potential to be great. Memmy is great already - super polished.

teacs ,

Is Memmy on Android?

Sweetroll789 ,

I think it’s iOS only. I migrated from Apollo. Looks like there a bunch of cool Android clients coming out soon though.

hamsalamibacon ,

I’ve been using Mlem on iOS. Super polished too!

ThatGirlKylie ,

Just tried out mlem. Feels very apollo-y. Thanks for the heads up

ThatGirlKylie ,

Tried downloading the testflight of memmy, but it’s asking for a code. I searched the github but didn’t find one =/

jake_eric , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

Sure, Lemmy's mobile website is great if you compare it to the atrocity that is the Reddit mobile website, which is really just an ugly and annoying advertisement for their app. But having a dedicated app for something I use a lot is nice.

It's sad in a way, but I've put Connect into the spot where BaconReader used to be.

Chrisosaur , to startrek in Una Timeline Implications

What is the prime Una timeline, and when was it established?

Ausir ,

The prime timeline is the one when she was acquitted, but in the "Quality of Mercy" timeline she was sent to a penal colony.

khaosworks ,
@khaosworks@startrek.website avatar

That wasn’t the Prime timeline, though, or it never really got the chance to be for very long - that we the timeline when Pike decided to write to the kids and avoid his fate. So while a butterfly effect may have ended up having Una still incarcerated, that wasn’t what we wound up with, not at the end of the episode, and not in “Balance of Terror”.

Having Una have temporal shivers from a timeline that no longer exists would be a neat idea, regardless.

mrfriki , to showerthoughts in Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason

For me is the (for now) lack of repost. Those fuckers plagued my home page for years.

czarrie ,
@czarrie@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the absence of a slew of editorialized content, obviously being pushed by larger groups, is kinda nice. Like I think I've interacted with more people on here in the past 24 than I would in a week over there

BackStabbath ,

Although it’s a completely different thing, I am seeing a lot of repeated comments. But yeah, the lack of reposts so far is nice.

jake_eric , to nostupidquestions in Reddit refugee, what are the Lemmy "jolly rancher" legends?

We’re still young. You gotta make one yourself!

kratoz29 , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

It is more awesome with this UI

https://wefwef.app

FlakNine ,

100% agree on this. Wefwef has really helped me grasp how Lemmy works. So impressive for a web app. Incidentally this is my 1st Lemmy post!

TheVampireSaga , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

What’s up with the passive agressiveness of this post? People on mobile usually prefer browsing stuff on their phone is the point lol

slaacaa , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

Not everybody is the same. I use it and like it way more on wefwef, witch is a perfect Apollo replacement

Devgard , to android in For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

personally it's more convenient if there's a mobile app, so I'm using Liftoff right now, until Sync, Artemis or Boost release 😀

RegalPotoo ,
@RegalPotoo@lemmy.world avatar

But why though? What does an app get you that you can't get by pinning the site to your home screen?

Devgard ,

notifications, and also that it doesn't show up in the app drawer on android (I only keep 5 icons on my homescreen in my setup)

Whoever is downvoting the above comment: stop downvoting legitimate questions! Even if you don’t agree with their sentiment , the commenter isn’t a troll or rage baiting.

Seems like some habits are going to follow us from reddit. Downvoting at the drop of a hat is such a miserable shitty thing to do, but many seem wedded to it.

I remember (Pepperidge farm remembers!) when the majority of folks on Reddit were benign, even though we had edge lords occasionally.

Funny thing, Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon was benign until right about now (with some nazis, edge lords or tankies however) before the surge.

wildchandelure ,

Apps are more customizable. The UI also tends to be better. The web app is fine but i find trying to upvote anything closes a post i just opened. Personally, i like seeing full images of things as I scroll by. So something like a webclient isnt very convenient and rather tedious. I’m using a whole bunch pf userscripts on my desktop to improve the pc experience, apps generally do that for me on android.

In the end, it’s user preference. I prefer Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder atm.

Nollij , to showerthoughts in Lemmy communities need a distinct one word name for communities like how reddit has "subreddits"

Welcome! You’re going to want this to find communities on different instances. Not only will this show you communities that aren’t available on your home instance (either because no one’s requested it yet, or you aren’t federated with them), but it will also show you when the same community name exists on multiple instances.
