MEGATHREAD for fully FOSS lemmy apps and tools without any ads, tracking or any other anti-features

If any app or tool (regardless of the platform they are in) you know of that is fully FOSS and doesn’t have any ads, tracking, or any other anti-features that didn’t make the list, it is a mistake and you can DM me and I will add it. The same goes for apps or tools that are not really FOSS or have anti-features. Even though I have tried my best, some mistakes could’ve been made. If the newer updates of one of the apps or tools listed made it unworthy to be included in the list, the platform it listed on isn’t available for it, or the link is broken, you can DM me and I will remove/fix it.

[ APP STORE UPDATE ] Mlem for Lemmy 1.2

Mlem 1.2 is out of beta and live on the App Store! We’ve got loads of new features big and small for you to enjoy.

Major Features

  • Profile editor: you can now change your display name, biography, avatar and banner image, and matrix ID. Check it out in Settings -> Account.
  • Easy-tap links: links detected in posts and comments now get a nice big tappable button at the bottom of the post. You can copy and share these links via long-press on the link button, and customize their behavior in Settings -> General.
  • Tab bar navigation: tapping the currently selected tab while at the top of the feed will navigate back. Reselecting the search tab from the top of the feed will focus the search bar.
  • Upgraded post composer: we’ve made the post composer prettier, added the ability to upload images from files and clipboard, and made it show the account you're posting from. It also now displays a warning if your post runs afoul of your instance’s slur filter.
  • Instance page: you can now view detailed instance information, accessible from a community or profile via the ellipsis menu in the navigation bar.
  • Saved content feed: saved content has moved! It’s now listed under Feeds along with all the other feeds, and you can also open it from the app shortcuts.

Minor Features

  • Voting icons are now colorized in compact mode
  • “Report” and “Block” items in context menus are now colored red and ask for confirmation
  • Fixed some inconsistent wording and incorrect capitalization
  • Improved performance of markdown rendering
  • Redesigned the account switcher and tweaked the behavior of long press/swipe up: long press on profile now swaps accounts immediately if you have two accounts and opens the switcher if you have more, while swipe up always opens the switcher. Both of these gestures can be enabled and disabled in Settings -> Accounts -> Quick Switcher
  • Added an indicator to posts from subscribed communities in All and Local feeds
  • Added headers to feed pages
  • Redesigned app icon selector
  • Added more app icons
  • Added a new comments indicator to posts you’ve already viewed
  • Added the option to open links in the system browser, rather than in-app
  • Added support for image links and shields.io badges
  • Added options for how your accounts are sorted in the account view and quick switcher
  • Tidied the settings page
  • Added the option to disable tap-to-collapse on comments
  • Refined the swipe action activation angle, so it should be harder to accidentally trigger it while scrolling
  • Added the option to require biometric unlocking when opening the app
  • Added the option to automatically collapse child comments
  • Redesigned the profile page

Bug Fixes

  • Disabled swipe actions on items embedded within the post/comment composer
  • Fixed a bug where favoriting a community from the ellipsis menu would cause the subscription status to display incorrectly
  • Fixed a bug where adding an account while already logged in would fail on instances running 0.19
  • Fixed a bug where account details were not being loaded in the user view
  • Fixed “failed to determine site version” error
  • Saved content now loads dynamically on scroll, rather than all at once
  • Fixed /u/user@instance and /c/community@instance links not behaving properly

As always, a huge thanks to our TestFlight for all their bug reports and feedback.

Cheers,

Download Arctic on the AppStore!

I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

requesting an offline lemmy app (lemmy.ml)
submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
11 comments fedilink
 
 

it would be really great to have a lemmy client (or feature of existing client) that allows for batch downloading of a user specified list of communities.
this would allow a user to download all the content for the day or week on wifi internet and then depart from the source of internet but slowly & carefully read a selection of material(text posts, comment discussion, and even images like memes).
one benefit is that it would be extra impossible to see what users are loading/viewing because they already loaded everything and are disconnected from the internet entirely. performance is also good because there is no network latency that would be experienced, each time, when accessing the servers.

Apps that have RES User Tagger (self.lemmyapps)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by SamuelRJankis to c/lemmyapps
4 comments fedilink
 
 

What I'm looking for specifically is adding tags to users, highlighting their names and a vote counter next to their names.

Sync has user tagging and highlighting if you pay monthly for Ultra.

Connect and Boost has user tagging.

Lemmy isn't to bad right now, but I'm definitely seeing a trend of people I'd like to avoid and or at least be weary of.

I prefer not using the block function since it remove to much context sometimes.

Android apps that allow hiding or collapsing images in comments? (self.lemmyapps)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by deweydecibel to c/lemmyapps
16 comments fedilink
 
 

Looking for any Lemmy app that provides a setting to hide or collapse inline images in comments, like RES let you do on Reddit, or like RIF, to re-create the text-only comment experience. I've been using Boost, which I really like it and want to keep supporting, but this setting is still a WIP I think, and it's a must for me. I wanna try others until it's added.

Thanks all

Update: if you're looking for the same thing, I eventually landed on Summit.

[SOLVED] Migrate profile from 0.18 to 0.19 (lemmy.zip)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
1 comments fedilink
 
 

Hi All. I have a profile on an instance that's on Lemmy 0.18.5 and want to migrate all my subscriptions to this profile on Lemmy.zip, which is currently running Lemmy 0.19.3 Someone knows how I can do this?

I tried using Lassim which supports version 0.18 so I can backup my old profile but not upload to the new profile. I even checked the .json files generated by both Lassim and Lemmy 0.19 backup and they save the communities in a different format each:

Lassim saves as community@server

Lemmy saves as server.domain/c/community

Thanks!

Edit: See my comment.

Recently hopped over to Lemmy from Reddit, initially tried Boost and the web app and wasn't super happy with the experience however after installing Singing I can happily say the experience has improved vastly. It feels more promising and premium than the actual official Reddit app!

Supported Liftoff forks/alternatives? (slrpnk.net)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
5 comments fedilink
 
 

Since a few days ago I cannot connect to instances like slrpnk.net or szmer.info. It turns out the issue is a bad cookie left over after the instances switched to the newest Lemmy version. I fixed the issue in the browser versions both on mobile and desktop. Unfortunately, my go-to Lemmy app, Liftoff, is unsupported since September so this issue cannot (afaik) be fixed. I was reccomended to switch to Jerboa/Boost but I really like Liftoff's UI so Im wondering if there are any good forks of Liftoff y'all use, or potentially other alternatives.

Android App that Implements Scaled Sort ? (ttrpg.network)
submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
10 comments fedilink
 
 

One of the more interesting updates I saw mentioned in release notes for Lemmy v0.19 was scaled sort. So that posts from smaller communities can get bumped up more in the feed.

I currently use Sync, and it's great, but doesn't seem to have implemented this yet. Is there another mobile app for Android that does?

Thanks!

Why is Avelon still the only iOS app that can display GIFs? (lemmynsfw.com)
submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
6 comments fedilink
 
 

I guess it’s not a very widely requested feature? It’s interesting to me that Avelon is literally the only iOS app among the many that exist so far that has been able to enable GIFs automatically animating and displaying on the timeline instead of just displaying a link to the GIFs location. I prefer a couple other apps over Avelon in terms of other features but I still end up just staying with Avelon because of this one feature none of the other apps have.

Also, I don’t really expect anyone to know the actual answer to my question I’m mostly just venting and hoping to get this noticed by some app developers.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/10278061

Hi everyone and happy new year! It's finally time for another Thunder release. As always, there have been many improvements, additions, changes and fixes in this release which should make for a even better Thunder experience. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to discuss it in the Thunder community or on GitHub.

A quick reminder: if you are using the Google Play version or App Store version, please note that it may take a bit of time before you receive the update. Now onto the update notes. This update brings a few major features:

🎉 Features

  • You can now edit your own posts, and set the appropriate language for your post. When you open your own post, you will see a pencil icon which will allow you to edit your post along with the language.
  • The Settings page has been overhauled and re-organized, with post and comment previews for certain visual settings. This should hopefully provide a better overall experience for adjusting and customizing your settings.
  • You can now set Thunder's app language to any of currently available translations. Please note that the translations are not fully complete, and you may encounter untranslated content.
  • Additional settings have been added in which sync up with your Lemmy account. This includes showing/hiding read posts, showing/hiding scores, and showing/hiding bot accounts.
  • There is now a Safari extension which allows you to open Lemmy links within Thunder for iOS users. This extension is disabled by default, but can be enabled in the system settings under Safari -> Extensions.
  • Favoriting communities is now available. When you favorite a community, it will be prioritized throughout the app (in the drawer, search results, etc.)
  • Keyword filters are now available in the Settings page. Adding keywords will filter any posts whose title or body containing one or more keywords.
  • Many quality-of-life improvements including collapsible post bodies, more community translations, addition of more sort types, improved search filters.

⚙️ Performance

  • Improved general loading times when starting up Thunder. This should result in some drastic improvements for certain instances.
  • Updated many under-the-hood dependencies.

And much much more. I can't possibly go through all the changes in the changelog, but for those who are curious, feel free to check out the full changelog on the GitHub announcement.

As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org

If you find any issues or would like to suggest features, please open up a new issue! As always, contributions are always welcomed here.

I would just like to thank everyone for the continued support and contributions. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and knowing that others enjoy it drives me to continue working on it!

If you would like to show a token of appreciation, you can buy me a coffee. The donations will help support some of the development overhead costs!

Thanks again for everything so far, and I hope you enjoy this update! Here’s a new year's resolution for you for reaching the end of this post 🎉

  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the description of a post's attached URL to overflow outside of its container
  • Fixed an issue where posts were being marked as read from post feeds if your finger touched them while scrolling
  • A heart has been added to the top of the home page to make it easier to support Lemmynade's development
  • Many other minor bug fixes and improvements

After Radio Silence, Kbin App Artemis Shuts Down (wedistribute.org)
submitted 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) by [email protected] to c/lemmyapps
3 comments fedilink
 
 

Community moderators and contributors have released a statement:

Many people in the Artemis community have been patient and understanding of the lack of activity, ever since a prior period of radio silence was justified by Hariette saying that she was recovering from chronic pain.

However, this has gone on for long enough that the official Artemis Camp instance has failed over and never recovered. This is a problem for Artemis app users, since it is the only instance that is supported.

We are also unable to continue performing our duties as moderators in the Camp instance as a result. This effectively means that the entire project is dead.

Have been wondering about this in terms of how safe/secure it may be to use them. Not that a Lemmy account is exactly something to fret a ton over, but I always appreciate a little more peace of mind.

Searching through here I found where Alexandrite's dev gives a rundown to someone asking in regards to their work, but I didn't surface similar for others. I've tried running some broader searches but haven't had a ton of luck, so thought I'd ask.

Arctic v0.2.7 is out

Arctic v0.2.7 is out on TestFlight. This update is focused on backend optimization and push notification features.

Community Notifications

You can now setup notifications for individual communities. Notifications can by filtered by post keywords, post author, and post score. In the coming releases I will add support for more filtering options. To list a few, filter by phrase rather than keyword, upvote/downvote rather than just score, multiple authors, comment count, pinned(stickied) posts, etc. I’ll also be adding support for temporary notifications,community notifications that will automatically expire after a set amount of time.

Account Notification Options

Account notifications can now be toggled by type, you can toggle notifications for: badges, replies, mentions, and messages. This also adds support for mods/admins. You can enable mod notifications for new post/comment reports, and admin notifications for new user registration applications. note that user application cannot currently be viewed within Arctic.

Community Jump

You can now tap the title in any posts feed and quickly jump to a different community using the community selector.

Backend Improvements

Arctics Lemmy API wrapper has now been extracted into a swift package (Swimmy) for improved maintainability and so it can be utilized as a shared code base for Arctics Push Notification server. In doing so, I also added support for Combine allowing for improved error handling with the API.

Arctics Server

I’ve migrated Arctics notification server to a new hosting provider. With the new provider, I may be able to offer all notification options as a free service provided I can sustain off of small donations. This would be ideal, as I never wanted to paywall any features in Arctic. I’ve also setup getarctic.app a new home for Arctic. The website is quite barebones at the moment, but I will be updating it as my time allows.

As always, thank you to everyone for helping test Arctic, and providing feedback. I know new features have slowed in the last few releases. Going forward I’ll be working on polishing the current feature set in hopes of an AppStore release in the next couple of weeks.

v0.2.7 full change-log

  • Added Community Notifications
    • Setup notifications for any community
    • Configure filtering options (author, keywords, score, more filters coming soon)
    • Add unlimited watchers
  • Added support for granular account notification options
    • Badges (Application notification badge)
    • Replies (Comment and Post replies)
    • Mentions (User mentions)
    • Reports (Moderator reports)
    • Applications (Admin user registration applications) (Arctic does not currently support showing applications in the app)
  • Updated the community selector to default to subscribed communities
  • Added typing suggestions when searching communities in the community selector
  • Added support for displaying thumbnails in push notifications
  • Added support for stripping markdown elements in push notifications
  • Added community jump to the Posts Feed, tap the title in the navigation bar to quickly jump between communities
  • Added Changelog to settings
  • Migrated API backend to a package (Swimmy) shared between Arctic and Arctic's push notification server
  • Fixed issue on iOS 15 where the Post feed search bar could overlap elements of the navigation bar**

[Thunder] Alpha Release [v0.2.5] (github.com)
submitted 1 year ago by darklightxi to c/lemmyapps
1 comments fedilink
 
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/8302571

Hello everyone, its me again back with another announcement. Thunder v0.2.5 is now officially released on GitHub, Play Store and the App Store (pending reviews). This latest update brings a lot of new additions, tweaks, and performance improvements to enhance your Thunder experience!

If you encounter any bugs or issues, creating an issue on GitHub goes a long way! I can’t go through the full list of changes here, but I’ll mention some of the bigger ones:

ℹ General

  • Lemmy 0.19.x support is now partially supported on Thunder (see known issues below). This will hopefully allow for a smooth transition experience once the official Lemmy 0.19.x update is released. This also means that instance blocking and the new sort types are available to use for instances running on 0.19.x.
  • More language localizations. Thanks to the community, there have been a ton of localization done on Thunder. This includes initial support for Norwegian Bokmål, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Finnish, and Swedish. If you want to contribute towards additional languages, feel free to reach out on GitHub!
  • Overall UI and UX improvements across the board including post title suggestions when creating a new post with a URL, post and comment actions on long-press menu, trending communities on the Search page, and so much more.

⚙️ Performance

  • The feed page has been reworked from the ground up to provide you with a smoother and hopefully more seamless experience. This is a more under-the-hood change so you may not notice much change to the visuals.

🎉 Features

  • Anonymous profiles are now available. This allows you to add an instance and browse that instance without having to create an account or log in. To do this, simply tap on "Add Anonymous Instance" on the profile selection page and enter in the instance of your choice.
  • The search page has now been revamped to include even more options, including users, posts, comments, and links. Additionally, you can adjust the sort type and the feed type to better narrow your search results.

⚠️ Known Issues

There are some known issues with this update that I’m already aware about. Theses issues were found after submitting the build to the Play Store/App Store. I’m currently working on these issues and fixes should be coming in another update sometime soon.

  • Some markdown links are being parsed incorrectly. This results in some links not showing up properly, or some links showing duplicate text.
  • Lemmy 0.19.x support is currently only available up to 0.19.0-rc.4. There have been some more changes since then which are being addressed.

As always, this is an alpha release, so do expect bugs to pop up here and there. We have a Matrix space if you would like to join in on discussions: https://matrix.to/#/#thunderapp:matrix.org

If you find any issues or would like to suggest features, please open up a new issue! As always, contributions are always welcomed here.

I would just like to thank everyone for the continued support and contributions. Thunder is still a project that I can only work on the side, and knowing that others enjoy it drives me to continue working on it!

If you would like to show a token of appreciation, you can buy me a coffee. The donations will help support some of the development overhead costs!

Thanks again for everything so far, and I hope you enjoy this update! Here’s a cookie for you for reaching the end of this post 🍪
