May their servers be strong, and their storage consistent!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I got lots and lots and lots of ram and CPU ready for the occasion.

Although- physical hardware hasn't been the issue with many of the performance issues with lemmy.

[–] AkatsukiLevi 15 points 2 years ago

You, my friend, may your CPU's never stall and your RAM never exhaust. May the gods of IT bless your hardware for the beloved stability for centuries

They should make a sacrifice to the server gods

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

The Memmy dev has pushed almost 70 major TestFlight builds in two weeks. Dude is a machine.

You're not wrong lol though tbf 0.18.0 made Lemmy quite a bit more usable for me.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's been a lot of activity there recently, lots of new contributors!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just made my first contribution to liftoff and now I got the hang of it. I want to do a lot more.

[–] KD_14 10 points 2 years ago

Ya hopefully it starts picking up even more. I also just started up.

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

That's great to see. They are expecting a huge influx of users and are working towards having things prepared.

I anticipate a lot of client apps will be ready by then as well, in order to promote themselves and Lemmy/kbin.

And I applaud them for it. Lemmy needs merch.

Also, friendly reminder that https://join-lemmy.org/donate exists.

Funny post, especially since all apps are being discussed except wefwef by OP :))

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

Wefwef is great its the best app for lemmy

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

I'm using it now. I admittedly haven't been on ios and using Apollo for close to 2 years now but this feels largely how I remember it.

Mine looks a bit different. Solid green for 2-3 weeks and radio silence after

[–] s4if 20 points 2 years ago

I feel for them. Keep strong...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I don't know which app to settle on since they are being updated so frequently. Thunder and Jerboa are my top contenders at the moment.

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

Coming from Infinity for Reddit, I've been really enjoying Jerboa

+1 for Jerboa if you're coming from Sync. Very similar style, and it just works 😃

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

Jerboa has been fantastic as a former baconreader user (well, still am til the first). Can't recommend enough

Oh geez, the 30th is coming quick isn't it

[–] MichaelobRegular 18 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Impressive. Now let's see the mobile devs git contributions

[–] Adori 15 points 2 years ago

Connect is doing great, just got an update 3 hrs ago for and fixed some things I just noticed a moment agk

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I have 4 mobile iOS apps on TestFlight. They seem to get big updates daily. I know lemon will be coming soon. So that will be 5. Things are moving fast.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I have 8 Android apps downloaded. I get multiple updates per day. I'm subscribed to GitHub release notification and my email is blowing up nonstop.

Everyone is working hard, which is great. Just a few weeks ago when I joined Lemmy the Jerboa app was pretty shit. I'd give it a 2/10. Now it's a solid 6/10. Just needs more features and to stop timing out every 60 seconds.

The dev of the Thunder app is insane. New releases three times a week, with a lot of new features each time.

Is there any infinity(reddit client) developers contributing to lemmy.consider asking them

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't know, but isn't infinity planning to go subscription once the changes take effect? This would make think they'll keep their efforts there

[–] AnonLordo 7 points 2 years ago

Ask OP. He's the dev of https://wefwef.app, a PWA for Lemmy. Github, Lemmy Community .

My favorite Lemmy app so far.

@aeharding: thanks for this great app.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I hope they will add e2e encrypted DMs

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. Just embedding Matrix somehow would be the way to do this.

That's not really Lemmy's purpose. I disliked when Reddit added it, and it would be an unnecessary addition here as well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I get that it's unnecessary, but why did you dislike it?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I don't want a bunch of fucking randos trying to chat me up. If I wanted live chat I wouldn't be Reddit (or Lemmy) in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It probably wouldn't have been annoying if you could just disable it. Getting that little notification with a number (that you compulsively want to clear down to zero) was always a pain.

I don't think that's possible to do using activity pub, but if you have a matrix account you can add it in your settings. When viewing the profile of someone who has a matrix account set on the web ui, there will be a button that says "send encrypted message". You should see it if you look at my profile page, for example.
