There are 4 responses, hardly enough to gauge the general response yet I’d say. If we want people to migrate, or make it easier, we should include explanations of how Lemmy/federation works, or at least include links to explanations. Maybe a couple of notes published with Obsidian Publish on the topic would be fitting? 😄 (doesn’t have to be Obsidian Publish of course, any open garden would do)
It’s an Apollo-only feature, Reddit doesn’t natively do this. I’ve been thinking about this feature for a bit, and it seems a straightforward implementation would be to store “seen” post identifiers with a TTL. Since the data is just bits of text, it should not take a lot of storage on device, and the TTL takes care of cleaning up. Since most posts on Reddit would be bumped away from any type of feed within at least a couple of days, a TTL of a week or shorter would probably work for Apollo. Not sure about Lemmy right now though. I’m not a mobile dev, so would not know exactly how to implement a system like this for Mlem, but if it was a webapp I would use Redis (if server-side) or something like local storage or cookies with TTLs (if bowser-based offline).
Heel herkenbaar 😅 alhoewel ik het stadse leven vanuit Amsterdam wel gewend was, is Londen toch wel een ander verhaal. Ik ben heel blij dat ik een plek gevonden heb in Wapping, waar het heel rustig is ondanks de centrale ligging. Hoe makkelijk/moeilijk vond jij het om nieuwe mensen te ontmoeten? Ik merk dat in een grote stad als deze de mensen vooral met zichzelf bezig zijn, of met de mensen die ze al kennen.
I’m located in London and willing to help out if still needed
I’m not on the experimental build, so will have to wait until it gets a stable release, but I wonder if it’s a similar scheme to the Switch version?
Just yesterday 😅 there’s a bug in the main branch of Lemmy itself that I was trying to pinpoint (introduced after 0.18.0 was tagged). Instead of walking through all recent commits manually, I used bisect. Bisect is not a magic bullet, and you could do the same manually, but it’s a good tool in the toolbox to know sometimes.
