dessalines,

While I personally never downvote anyone for disagreeing, I don't think it's possible, or desirable, to try to create rules around how people use their preference buttons.

But I def suggest going into your settings and hiding vote scores, as that's psychologically better for most people.

Can't Search Lemmy Posts

Hey guys, just joined Lemmy and noticed that there isn't any searching tool like on reddit. I was scrolling yesterday and saw a cool post but didn't have time to save it and I tried searching and realized that there was no searching feature, at least not in Jerboa on Android. Anybody come up with a solution for this or maybe...

dessalines,

Jerboa doesn't have search yet.

dessalines,

Thanks for your support! We currently have a grant through NLnet, but it's likely over after this year, and we'll have to try to be fully community funded at that point. We might do yearly funding drives as that seems to be a good model that's not too obtrusive.

We'd also really like to add developers to our little coop, one or two especially that have already been making solid and consistent contributions.

Here's our donate page: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

Liberapay is much preferred, both because it's open source, and because it smartly splits payments among your dev team equally.

dessalines,

As far as running instances, yes please fund your admins and moderators for their time! Reddit notoriously takes advantage of their free labor, but we should be treating our instance runners better.

Boost for Reddit for Lemmy (or similar)

I really love Boost for reddit, I know it's not open source but I'm sure there are open source apps that are similar enough. Does anyone know how to adjust one of these open source reddit apps to work with Lemmy? I am using an open source android app from f-droid, and it lacks some of my favorite features like tapping to...

dessalines,

Boost was my favorite reddit client, so I based jerboa's ui mostly off it.

As a Reddit user for pretty much any topic in existence, I'm so glad that I've found Lemmy!

I saw Jerboa while scrolling through random apps to potentially install, and became excited that finally there's a REDDIT alternative as well, instead of just Twitter. Mastodon might be nice, but I don't use Twitter, and I probably won't use Mastodon, either. Reddit, on the other hand, oh man......

dessalines,

@nutomic and I are the main devs for lemmy, but we're pretty bad about telling ppl about it... probably the reason we've had slow but steady growth, except for moments like these. It's a huge help if ppl can tell others about it, so we can spend more time coding.

Glad to have you aboard!

anders, to lemmy

Lemmy is booming

I have never before received so many reactions and comments on my Lemmy posts before, so it's obvious to see, that there are many new members here.
Welcome to all the new! And I'm looking forward to see more of you here.
Cheers!

dessalines,

We only have 2-3 full time devs at the moment, it wouldn't take much to fund us at all. Youtube streamers make more than most open source devs :(

We might try to do yearly funding drives after this year when our NLnet grant runs out.

Here's ou, donation page if anyone would like to support our time: https://join-lemmy.org/donate

dessalines,

We've renewed it for several years now, but most of the important activitypub work is done. Now we're focused on code maintainence, performance, ancillary features, and front-end work.

dessalines,

This is a great definition. One term I'd really like to see in there tho is commodification... that we are opposed to the buying and selling of animals bodies or derived products, turning them into objects for human use.

dessalines,

TOTP is done, it'll be in the next release.

dessalines,

I don't, it'd pry be better to build up the community here. And then in the future if there are enough ppl that would like their own one, I could host that for us.

dessalines,

It doesn't do remote search yet in the same way lemmy ui can, that needs to be added.

dessalines,

This is the dev run instance, and we don't have time to moderate that.

dessalines,

Ebaumsworld right?

dessalines,

Ask them to make an account here and ask directly, I don't like discussing by proxy.

dessalines,

Fdroid, but add the izzyondroid repo for the fastest updates for all my apps.

dessalines,

Glad you like it!

dessalines,

Sweet, glad to have you.

I don't mind the ban too much as I don't use reddit often, but it's probably indicative that the developer plans to stay with reddit. Our door is always open to him if he changes his mind tho.

dessalines,

Thanks! Glad to have you!

dessalines,

I don't think jetpack compose supports android variants that old now.

dessalines,

dessalines,

No problem, glad to help.
