What have you been reading this week? [June 26-July 2, 2023] in c/[email protected]

I'm reading Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub. About half in the novel, I had some difficulties to be taken with it, but I start being hooked up, we will see... My opinion so far is that it's not at the level of it's prequel (The talisman, by Stephen King and Peter Straub) that I read just before and was very gripping.

Bot to aggregate what Lemmy community is reading (vlemmy.net)
 

cross-posted from: https://vlemmy.net/post/328546

If you are from reddit, there was a subreddit called "RedditRead" which aggregated automatically all books title found in "what are you reading" threads and making a post for each one with a link to Goodreads. I think this was great and would be a good idea to implement on Lemmy, but with the following changes:

  • Due to the concept of federation, less centralized, I think the bot should takes it's input from several communities ([email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; ...)
  • It should not promote non-free service like Goodreads but rather use open library or bookwyrm api to fetch it's data and link to those free services

What do you think? I may be interested in developing something (using some existing bot framework, should not be too difficult), but I will not be able to host it (unless it can be done for free - without too much assle).

I installed jerboa and thunder to test out. Jerboa is promising and very active. However for now I stick to the site of my instance installed as progressive web app, I think it's the most useable (the only drawback is the lack of infinity scrolling).

Jerboa v0.0.36-alpha in c/[email protected]

is there any way to put the app on English again without changing my device global language? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well I did a sort of poc I recompiled jerboa (in debug mode so I can keep official installed) after removing app/src/main/res/values-fr directory and I have this jerboa in English which I prefer, additionally there are layout issues with french version because the words do not correctly fit the allocated space on the screen, it looks far better in English. So if it's possible to give a setting to change language for us poor old android users...

+1 Please give us the choice of the language in app, my phone won't be updated to android 13 and I want to let it in french but I like IT related stuff to be in English... Otherwise I may perhaps fork and rebuild jerboa stripping out the translation files...

Update to 0.18 (vlemmy.net)
 

Hello, have you planned to update to 0.18 soon ? Jerboa claims that 0.17 is not anymore supported.

New to Stephen King but I finished Pet Semetary this morning in c/stephenking

Very often like that with Stephen King, the beginning is slow but it's imho very important because that put in place the characters and build up a kind of special relationship between the reader and the characters or locations. Then something happens and the novel become really gripping.

Is there a listing of which instance each subreddit moved to? in c/[email protected]
