Absolutely, I tried switching to it using bridges for all my messaging accounts and the performance was abhorrent, mind you just me, a single user on a self hosted instance.
I would like to try making a few minor changes to the CSS in either kbin or lemmy both of which I've been trying out. I favor a more dense interface and think styles could help visually separate different kinds of content. Maybe to reorganize some stuff if I got more ambitious....
I just created a pull request yesterday for lemmy-ui and to comfortably work on the frontend you would also have to setup the database and the backend („lemmy“) on your development machine.
Mind you they provide docker containers for the backend so it’s not so hard to get it all running so you can start playing with the UI.
Yes that docker-compose will start all the things needed.
Yeah I would create a copy of an existing or the default theme, of course you can also use the Bootstrap Theme builder linked there but I have never used it myself before so I don’t know how well that’s gonna work.
Yes you can but you have to change the post a bit so it displays well on lemmy. The first line is taken as the title so currently your post is just named „@asklemmy“.
Probably, I don’t know much about Mastodon so I can’t say what will work on that side. But as long as you make sure that it isn’t the first line by itself or not in the first altogether it will probably be fine from the lemmy perspective.
I'm making a client for Lemmy but am planning to make the calls myself rather than use a library, is there any good documentation of the HTTP API that I can use as a reference?
They are planning to switch from WS to HTTP soon (backend is already switch over I think). Either way I don’t think there’s a documentation of the API itself yet, but you can just reverse engineer the calls from the calls from JS library or look at the backend code directly.
I think it has something to do with it loading new content per websockets and displaying it even though it shouldn’t per the current view settings.
For example I was on All - Top for the day and fresh posts started adding themselves on the top (which obviously shouldn’t be in Top with only 1 upvote).
I’m not sure that capitalism per se is the problem here and more so that the entire way modern, especially tech companies, are funded is just stupid.
Present a „new“ concept that nobody has done before. Rake in cash by showing investors your user numbers. Try to actually start making money by squeezing your users. Fail. Maybe because your concept wasn’t working economically from the beginning and that’s why nobody else has done it before.
I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?...
Let’s not kid ourselves UI/UX needs a lot of work not just a little, but it’s making progress and all done by volunteers and that’s impressive on it’s own.
I wanted to add that feature today and discovered that it was already present in the latest version of the code on the 0.17 branch. So it will be probably be available soon.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to go back i promise, quite the contrary actually cause I think spez plans to just decrease the cost of the API and act like it was a bargain deal sacrifice while not solving any of the issues at all...
After going public your whole modus operandi switches from "having a well running company that generates a steady income" to "generating more revenue every single year or loosing everything because your share holders dump you"
Grinding Gears just released a new teaser trailer for PoE 2. PoE 2 will feature a new 7-act storyline and has updated graphics and mechanics. Really excited about this!
Depends on how you look at it, but I would classify the smoothness of the gesture controls and camera feed to be quite a major breakthrough in usability as well.
Technically New isn’t either but that one makes sense. However what’s considered Active on !technology is unattainable on say !food as a result I see many posts from very active communities and nothing from less active ones....
This needs to be addressed by the devs in my opinion... I read that the way the Hot score is calculated needs to be changed either way since it's currently horrible for the performance.
I'm seeing across various instances that registration is going through manual approval as an anti-bot measure. As someone whose also run Fedi instances, I know how bad the bot problem is....
Another problem is that you never actually receive a confirmation if your application was received and/or rejected, you are just sorta stuck in limbo after applying.
so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?
I'm personally crossing my fingers for Discord.
