Oh, yeah. This feature has been scrapped. See the main Community post about it for further information.

Hey, any interest in us potentially hosting an alternate lemmy UI? in c/[email protected]

Should be fine with compose. There's a prebuild image hosted on github.

Creator of Nemmy here, lmk of you have any questions.

Also, keep in mind that Nemmy isn't like the other Apps as it's focused on providing an "instanceless" experience. It's also probably the least-developed app from the examples you've given since it's just me doing everything. Although it already has couple unique features.

[–] Cr4yfish 1 points 2 years ago

When I say it's a lot less work than making an app from scratch I'm mainly thinking about the UI/UX design which only had to be adjusted in Sync's case. I do lots of UI design for private projects and work, so I know that it's a big part of the workload.

his app account for federation problem/features that aren’t implemented in any other app yet

What do you mean? I'm no Sync expert but I did test out the app and didn't notice any special features. I'm especially interested in instance related tech since that's kinda the USP of my own App, Nemmy.

Only when working with Swift though, right? I always use React Native for my Apps which can target IOS as well and you can build react native in every environment, I think.

[–] Cr4yfish 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

uhhh.. I guess so?

My point was that Sync is overpriced, not that devs couldn't demand money for their work, of course.

Again, this is only from what I heard, since I didn't use Sync during Reddit times but apparently it was cheaper back then, so he raised the price for switching from Reddit to Lemmy - which I think is overcharging.

Of course it's more than changing some URL, but it's less work than actually making it from ground up - for which he used to charge less.

You see my point? Of course you may disagree with me, but I don't think my point is so outragous that it calls for "insults" (?).

Well I mean he got paid before as well during reddit times. From what I heard the app is basically the same switched to the new APIs.

To build an IOS app you need an Apple Developer Account, which is a subscription service for 100 bucks a year.

It's similar but not the same for Android. With Android you don't need an Account to build the App, just one to publish it on the Play Store - which also only costs 25$ one-time purchase.

Also, I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

For hobbiest it's on the expensive side. I mean it's probably the most expensive part of the pipeline for most hobby Devs for a way overpriced service. But I get it if you really want to publish your Lemmy App on the IOS store and have the money to do it, just wondering if these people have any plans of breaking at least even via donations or such.

Lemmy is popular nowadays, yet is losing its active users in c/fediverse

Dev update #11: Creating Posts, Replying to Comments & more (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Cr4yfish to c/nemmy
0 comments fedilink
 

Wow it's gotten really late for todays update

It's about 3am here right now :(.

All changes are already up on Nemmy.app

What changed

  • Users can now comment on other comments

On desktop

On mobile there's a complete preview of the post (with text selection!), meaning you won't have to close the comment popup every time you want to reference something from the post.

  • Users can now Create Posts I added some animations to this one. Feel free to check it out on nemmy.app/post/new (you have to be logged with a lemmy.world account for now)

  • NSFW Posts are now blurred by default

To view them, users can simply tap on the image and it will unblur (works on all Media types).

  • Dates are now displayed correctly (e.g. "Posted 2 minutes ago")

  • Improved performance on comment-heavy posts
  • Removed/Deleted Posts and comments won't be shown now

Dev update #10: Search, Creating Comments (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Cr4yfish to c/nemmy
0 comments fedilink
 

Welcome to Dev update 10 everybody!

Wow it's already been 10 days that I've worked on Nemmy.

As always, all changes are on nemmy.app

What changed

  • The Search Experience has been improved

You don't have to press enter anymore now. The Search will automatically start once you stop typing and refresh on updates.

The search now gives feedback to the user when loading occurs

Posts now actually Link to the posts on Nemmy

  • You can Create Comments now on Posts

This feature is still kinda buggy and really only supports Posts right now, no replies to other comments for now.

  • Cookie Validation

If your access token gets invalidated, like when an instance would get hacked and had to reset the tokens, you are automatically logged out with no errors.

Next Steps

Tomorrow I'll continue work on Comments on Posts and Replies to other Comments while also starting work on creating posts.

I will also start looking into formatting and what's the best way to preview comments/posts.

I also promise to finally implement a NSFW image blur. Right now just browsing the frontpage on Nemmy in public is really risky.

That's it already for today!

Thanks for stopping by.

How to get trending Communities (lemmy.world)

Does anyone know how to get the trending communities? Or do you have to calculate that yourself?

I've studied the API docs like my life depends on it but I can't find it anywhere.

[META] Megathread for API questions? (self.lemmydev)

Since the docs are horrible I think making a megathread here with Q&As and best practices for endpoints would be nice. Would've certainly helped me when I started out.

What do you guys think?

Dev Update #9: Sort, Filter and Search (WIP) (i.imgur.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Cr4yfish to c/nemmy
9 comments fedilink
 

I'm back!

And I brought some new features with me.

As always, all changes are live on Nemmy.app.

Changelog

  • Sorting and Filtering Works now

  • Search Overlay has been added

This view is still just placeholder and WIP

Search results are coming in but the styling is not done yet.

Known issues

Light mode hasn't been finished yet for the new features.

That's it already but more is coming

I had really, really little time last week but that changed today. From now on I will work more on Nemmy, so the developing pace will increase.

I'm looking to finish the Search function tomorrow and then add Creating Comments and Creating Posts tomorrow/the day after tomorrow.

See you all soon!

Dev Update #8: User Page Overhaul, New Sidebar & "Karma" (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago by Cr4yfish to c/nemmy
0 comments fedilink
 

It's time for dev update #8!

As always, all changes are already up on Nemmy.app.

What changed

  • User Page Overhaul

  • New Sidebar on the left side (activated by the menu icon)

  • Various Design Improvements
  • Started transferring to latest Icons from Google's Material Design

Point System

As you may have noticed already, every User on Nemmy has "Points" calculated. These Points are calculated by taking the Post and comment scores (upvotes - downvotes) and the amount of User posts and comments into considerations. I'm also looking into giving Points for upvoting Posts and Comments since I don't want to encourage bad behavior by spamming the site with junk.

I'm not very sure about this feature yet as I heard mixed opinions on here about the introduction of a Karma-Like system.

Please feel free to let me know what you think of this.

That's it already for today

I didn't have a lot of time today to work on Nemmy :(. The roadmap didn't change for today, so I won't include it here.

See you all very soon!

Getting Started with Nemmy & Latest Updates (self.nemmy)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Cr4yfish to c/nemmy
10 comments fedilink
 

This post will be updated regularly.

Last update: 06.08.2023, updated roadmap

Tl;DR

Nemmy is a PWA (Progressive Web App), this means that you can use Nemmy in the browser of your choice or install it on your device.

If you want to stay updated about the progress, make sure to stop by at the end of the day here. I usually post the daily Dev Update around 11pm UTC.

Website: nemmy.app

GitHub: github.com/cr4yfish/nemmy

App Stores:

How to install

  1. Visit the Website
  2. Press "install to device". This button will be displayed in various locations depending on the device.
  • On Desktops it's usually on the right side of the URL bar
  • On phones it's usually in the settings/sidebar menu

Supported OSs for installation of the PWA

  • Android
  • IOS (Only installable via Website)
  • Windows 10/11
  • Chrome OS
  • Linux maybe (untested)

All other devices can of course still access the Website like usual.

Known Issues

There are a lot so I'll only list very annoying ones

...

Most issues are fixed by refreshing the browser window or the PWA screen.

Donations

I'm creating Nemmy because I want to, not because I want to earn any money from it - but hosting it costs a lot of money and after seeing the last bill from my hosting provider I decided to open up donations.

Any money donated will be used only and exclusively for the hosting costs.

Roadmap for Q3 2023

The roadmap is taken from GitHub and will be kept up-to-date

Note: A crossed off item does not mean I wont improve it anymore. It just means the basic implementation is done.
