This seems like it could be more damaging to reddit than helpful. If you're not using the official app already, being unable to view certain stuff might put new comers off joining up, meanwhile those who already use the app see the message just fine, linking them to an alternative.
As a new user, the main issue I had was not being able to find instances across communities, and it took me way too lok to realise I had to switch from "local" to "all". If there's some way to make new users aware of that, it'll help new users find content and keep them engaged!
Thank you! Android might come one day, but likely not until iOS is stable :)
And I totally agree - I had similar issues when I was first starting out. One thing I hope is for Lemon to be easy, simple and intuitive to new users or less technical users. I want Lemmy to feel as fun and easy to use as Reddit is/was, but with all the benefits of a federated platform!
Glad to see another app! Can you talk about what you'll be doing that's different than mlem and memmy? I've tried them both (writing this on mlem) and have enjoyed both. Memmy feels closer to the Apollo experience I'm missing so far.
I'm not very familiar with Mlem or Memmy (both look like fantastic projects!) - so I can't speak to specific feature differences yet. To be totally honest, I'm still figuring out my feature roadmap anyway! :) In the future, I'd love to do a comparison post.
I will say that something I personally care about a lot is the user experience. I'm a frontend engineer by trade, so the visual fidelity, ease of use and overall onboarding experience for new users are things I think about a lot. Especially in this federated world, where many potential users aren't familiar with the concepts.
I'm hoping to make Lemon intuitive, fun and easy to use for the average non-technical person, while still enabling "power user" functionality for those who need it.
I would check both of those out. I like both. MLem feels a lot more polished but is missing a few key features. Memmy is clearly going for the Apollo vibe but is missing some polish. Maybe it would make sense to try to join forces with one (or both) of them?
Not that I mind having more apps to try out, but if you are really trying to go for an Apollo clone you have some competition already.
No problem! I definitely think there is room for more apps, but I'm not sure if there is a need for more Apollo-inspired apps, if you know what I mean. Or if you really want to follow the Apollo route, I am not aware of any Kbin apps yet and I understand it has a totally different backend.
That's some great feedback, much appreciated! I've had a few requests for kbin support already, that may be something I explore once the Lemmy implementation is stable. :)
Very awesome! I’m excited to hear more fellow developers are creating more tools to browse Lemmy! Persistent cache seems really interesting! Excited for the future!
It’s been very exciting watching all the new Lemmy developments these past few months. Really the energy made me want to start this project. I hope to see the Lemmy platform flourish with many great options! 🙌
I generally use Crisco, but that picture looks like maybe the oil was applied too thick? I get really good results with Avocado oil too. My process is to wipe the oil on with a clean cloth, and then try to wipe it completely clean. There will be a very thin layer still on the pan. I used to season in the oven at 500F, but I have lately had really good results on the range. I turn the burner up to high and let the pan heat until it is smoking, and let it smoke ~10 minutes. Once the pan is cool, I hit it with another thin coat of oil.
Maybe I did use too much oil initially, but I also think that since I kept using it while it was flaking it sort of got new layers of seasoning, but unevenly.
i dont want left unity. also, "misinformation?" you're telling me that no anarchists praise the black panthers? that no anarchist praises rosa luxemburg and sankara?
and they use this state to enforce their laws, such as their total ban on alcohol and smoking, which (correct me if im wrong) is not usually considered an anarchist principle
You almost certainly support regimes who would have me executed for being queer
The final battlecry of the faux-"leftist" who refuses to actually engage with revolutionaries who actually do things.
If you engaged with us in good faith whatsoever you would realize that a disproportionate percentage of us are LGBT+. We're also scientific socialists and believe in something called nuance.
I am certain that you believe RFA nonsense regarding LGBT rights in AES nations. You should have seen the resolute joy permeating this site when Cuba passed the new family code. Vietnam will hold a similar referendum in 2024 and I have a ton of hope the Vietnamese people will make the correct choice. Being a worker's democracy, I believe they will.
How does it feel knowing the AES world is progressing at 10x speed the capitalist world ever has? How does it feel to see successful socialism in action while you can't even name a successful anarchist territory, yet claim the Zapatistas do not have the right to differentiate themselves from western "anarchism"?
I respectfully await Beehaw's self-inflicted demise, and for you to study.
Yes. Retreat and have le epic last word. We will continue to fight for LGBT+ liberation in reality while you waste time owning the tankies online. Enjoy.
I hear you. I still disagree. Congratulations on the surgery and I am sorry for the side effects.
We do not pretend to trust anarchists. They are at best temporary allies to Marxism-Leninism, or better yet they cease to call themselves anarchists and pursue an actual, practiced method of achieving socialism.
I recommend Stalin's writings on anarchism and why "left unity" is a myth that Marxist-Leninists do not adhere to.
No Marxism-Leninist would turn their guns on anarchists unless it was in self-defense, like Makhno's band of pillagers devastating rural communities under the guise of "liberation" (basically setting them up for slaughter) or the Kronstadt sailors violent antisemitism.
Anarchists joined Mao in droves. They ceased being anarchists and in many cases simply joined the 'left' wing of the party. There are constantly debates about how and when the state should begin to be dismantled. It's usually a far longer process than anyone would like, but at least there's a means and an end, rather than an end with no means, as is common in anarchist thinking.
I used to consider myself an anarchist but then I read about the Red Guards in China and how many abuses they got away with... because lack of technology and reach made party oversight basicay impossible. This is always the effect of too much decentralization too quickly, violent ambitious people weaponizing revolutionary facades to garner power and commit violence. There must be some form of centralized power structure to ensure the rights of the people are being properly maintained and their needs properly met.
As a parting recommendation, I suggest Engels' On Authority, assuming you have not read it. Personally, it shattered much of my anarchist thinking.
The sectarianism is annoying (inshallah for Hexbear federation to bully the sectarians), but the narrative about MLs regularly teaming up with anarchists only to stab them in the back turns out to be bullshit when investigated.
Btw an anarchist from blahaj coming here and complaining about sectarianism is mighty rich when a 80% of entire lemmy modlog bans are people banned from there for being "tankie" - specifically interesting since their comments for which they are banned are not specified, that is, they haven't been banned for anything concrete.
Also preempive fishing for a ban, lol, how old they even are?
Can you just spare yourself an utter embarrasment and block us or better yet, create an account on instance which have defederated from us if that's so important to you?
that will not spread misinformation about my political beliefs from ones that will.
That's incredibly hypocritical of you to say after what you wrote in this thread.
