FUCKER good to know you liked!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

is the fucker some kind of emoji I'm missing or are you guys just being friendly

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Probably not a big deal but your username autopopulates the login field.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Holy shit I forgot to take it out lol, thanks for the reminder

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought it was a feature lol

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 years ago

This would be way too egocentric 😅

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This should be in the lemmy code. Federate out accounts.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Seriously, would it be possible to integrate Lemmy Handshake into Lemmy source code?

I feel this should be part of the core package.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for this, worked like a charm!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Wow, great to know!

Beware!

This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.

Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I'm missing a few.

I'm sorry it happened, it definitely should not do it, could you describe the steps you made to trigger this behavior? So I can patch it ASAP?

[–] CaptainBlagbird 8 points 2 years ago

Please add a logging functionality, so that even if something like that would happen in the future because of some special case bug, it would still be possible to figure out which subscriptions were removed.

[–] candyman337 7 points 2 years ago

Same thing happened to me, it seemed like it didn't do it when I had just two accounts, but it did do it when I had 3.

Not sure if it has anything to do with certain communities not being federated to the other instances

Do you accept PRs? I’d love to setup an iOS build for this

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Of course, I'd love iOS support but I don't have iphone

The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments but I don't have the knowledge to do so

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago

Amazing! You have just filled the biggest crevice of Lemmy! Thank you!!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working for accounts with 2FA. Had to disable it to get the job done.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Vish, this is really an issue, I'll add it to issues so I can check if it's possible to fix later

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Awesome to hear. It has already been useful for me, just so I could move my subscriptions to another instance, because the one I'm on has been under fire lately.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Ooh syncs saved posts as well! Definitely downloading this

Edit: Ah that's not ready yet. Still very cool

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago

Soon it will sync, I didn't have much time last weekend

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe now people can finally spread out... It's just sad to see everyone on Lemmy.world as if it was the new Gmail or something.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One of the main reasons I did it, so people can spread across instances

Any plan on Mac and Linux version soon?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't own a Mac, but I plan to compile it to Linux soon

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Thanks for supporting linux, please consuder flatpak instead of making a binary per distro

Wow finally! Hopefully this gets released for iOS also

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments, but I don't have the knowledge to do so

[–] LazaroFilm 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Android and windows. Two things I don’t use. Can you at make a Linux version?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this would work great as a web app.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago

It's made in flutter so I can probably port it to Linux and web, once I do it I'll update the app

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is REALLY cool and helpful. I just tried it with the 3 accounts I have and it worked flawlessly.

Only suggestion would be to have the app check a servers defederated list and disregard any communities that you cannot subscribe too. This would prevent a lot of errors that happen when going through the sync. This is pretty minor as the app does seem to skip the community after the error but I suspect it would be a little faster if it just rejectected the community via internal software. Some users who are not aware of defederated communities may get confused by the errors as well.

Maybe this isn't very realistic? If it isn't, never mind. :)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I'm thinking about how to get rid of those errors, this might the solution but I think there isn't a way to check the list of defederated instances, one thing I'll implement soon is to expire synchronization tries after x days so the list won't grow forever

Glad the app helped you

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Great job! That's an excellent way to spread out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Wow, great work! thank you!

[–] Starburn 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Can you sync across to kbin?
