What if we take our remaining eggs and force feed them to trump until he explodes. I would be willing to sacrifice my eggs for that

Had too many cold beers. Do not feel nice

What makes you think we aren’t mad?

That’s unproductive imo. Nobody ever convinced someone to change their mind by calling them a selfish idiot. Unless your goal is to not convince them.

That’s a cool idea? How do we actually make that happen? Call up NPR?

What kinda show?

I also hope it stays not monitored, though I would happily pay $1/month to support running costs.

How do I make it very obvious to Costco that I’m purchasing a memebrship because of this

Yes

I know this is the wrong thing to focus on, but federated social media is really lacking sex appeal. Like the technology powering it is so cool, but many of the clients (especially the defaults) are ugly.

I’m not saying form over function, but I find well-designed + functional apps really enjoyable to use. I want to be the solution. I’m writing my own Lemmy client and I really hope I can deliver on the sex appeal in addition to an amazing user experience.

Yeah I’m guilty of that. I posted to Reddit today, but not Lemmy. I’ve been telling my friends to switch to federated social media, but I still find myself slipping back to Reddit. Not because I like Reddit better but because they have more content or I already know where to look for specific content. But I’m going to try and post more. Thanks for the reminder!

Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access

Honestly my M2 MacBook Pro feels like it’s built to last. I paid a lot, but I feel like I’ve gotten great value out of it and genuinely enjoy using it. And it’s still going strong.

But we have to talk about Apple’s hostility towards developers. It’s like they want to make devs miserable. That’s the part that’s unforgivable imo.

I’m so dumb. That literally solves so many problems. I just have to confirm that works with the login endpoint. Thanks!

Edit: I’m not dumb. You can’t login with your instance at the end of the username. I also need to check if @ is a valid username character.

What I could do is pick an instance at random and see if I can write that instance to app storage that persists on reinstall. That way, they don’t lose their account by not remembering what instance. That doesn’t solve the web.

The issue is password managers save username and password, but I need to save instance as a 3rd value. I wonder if I can prepend the instance to the front of their username in a way that the password manager picks it up, then slice it off later when they log in. But that’s kinda hacky.

Remember this is an onboarding flow for an app. It has to capture the user and explain things well without losing their attention.

What I want to avoid is “hey, select an instance from this menu”. “Wtf is an instance?”

Voyager gets around this by defaulting to an instance (lemmy.ee I think) before you log in, but my plan was to have them select when they launch the app for the first time.

I’m working on my own Lemmy client that I’m hoping will be both a better UI, but also universally better as an app (phone and tablet), MacOS app, and on the web. Voyager provides a web version, but it’s not optimized for larger screens.

My app will deliver the best experience on all screen sizes and will take the best of Reddit, Voyager, etc.

I’m 14 days in lol but if anyone is interested please DM me. I’m happy to share what I’m working on, but I just ask you have realistic expectations as this will likely be 6+ month project to deliver something that can actually compete with existing clients.

Did shrodinger also buy beer at self checkout? Maybe all that drinking made him forget if the cat was dead or alive

I’m working on my own app for lemmy, but it’s so early stage I have a long way to go. Literally started on it a week ago. And honestly I’m not sure if anyone will ever use it.

But I cross posted this to the lemmyapps community. I think the maintainers of some of the more popular lemmy clients are active there.

I agree with that. It’s similar to if someone loads the post in their browser. If the site isn’t actively polling the API to check if the content is deleted, they will continue to see it until they reload the page. The difference is the cache lives longer. I can probably have it poll the API when they reopen a cached article, and if it’s been deleted, purge it from the cache. The result is they may see it flicker as it’s purged quickly, and if they’re offline I wouldn’t be able to poll the API.
