Go upgrade!

Compact posts can be enabled through settings. (Additional layout config to come.)

The Apollo migration takes your reddit subs and makes it easy to tap through to search for equivalent lemmy communities. It's really fun to explore!

Oh, and ICYMI, 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 were release with some nice updates too, including viewing sidebars and comment editing!

So much more usable for me now, thank you!

Awesome to see the pace of development

Would be great to see a reversed compact view

Reddit: We can’t create a usable app in years, even after buying another app that worked.

This Random Dude: Let me rebuild the most popular Reddit app for another service in, like, a week.

(I know this is hyperbole, but I, too, am impressed by all the updates. I think I started using this at 0.5.0 or something and in 24 hours it’s up to 0.8.0 with several QoL improvements.)

Seriously this is making lemmy a breeze for me. Doing gods work this guy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or maybe instead of a reverse compact view, take the Apollo approach and allow the user to select left/right for thumbnails and the vote icon?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That's basically what I mean!

Another reminder that if you use lemmy.world via wefwef, rate limiting is still breaking things. :-(

Temporary alternatives:

  1. Use a lemmy account from a different lemmy instance
  2. Use a different wefwef instance (or self host!)

Is that why I can't vote or other things?

[–] aeharding 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yes. Traffic is spiking to, I just had to upgrade the wefewf.app server..

[–] jcb2016 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So what should I do to not hit the rate limit? This app is awesome btw

[–] aeharding 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can self-host wefwef!

Or just bear with us, lol

[–] jcb2016 1 points 2 years ago

How do you self host and where do i get started? I have a vps that isn't that bad 1g ram 1gig whatever lol its only for my znc instance on irc but i should self host for myself so i don't run into any issues. also if i self host how do i get updates from you guys? never to late to start!

[–] lordcommander 1 points 2 years ago

Is there a good self hosting guide somewhere to reference?

[–] kratoz29 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Thanks for the update, is the save button not working at all?

[–] aeharding 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Save, as in edit comment? Should be working!

[–] kratoz29 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, save posts, comments to your profile.

[–] aeharding 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, yes the save button is coming soon.

[–] kratoz29 2 points 2 years ago

Gotcha it get me confused seeing it here all pretty but not working, great work dev, just selfhosted the app and I cannot believe that it works well with my own hardware as well lol.

[–] garretble 6 points 2 years ago

That migration tool is super cool.

Keep crushing it!

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

Would love to see sort by top hour/6 hours/12 hours on the app.

Thanks for all your work!

Is it true that wefwef can read your password?

[–] Dick_Justice 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Unable to fetch posts on Firefox/Android post update... just letting you know in case it's not just me.

[–] aeharding 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should be the ongoing rate limit issue with lemmy.world.

If you try any other instance, it should be smooth :)

[–] Dick_Justice 1 points 2 years ago

Right on thank you!

[–] do_not_pm_me 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love the compact view. Could we have an option to hide thumbnails also so it’s just post titles only?

[–] aeharding 2 points 2 years ago

It's coming :)

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

Testing.

Nvm ignore me

[–] Beanerrr 1 points 2 years ago

Very cool! Just waiting for a way for wefwef to remember my choice on comment ordering. It's always sorted by hot and I always change it to most upvoted.
