!interstellar@kbin.earth in the only app at the moment
Nice to see that you are exploring different options!
Yeah I chose the most populated instance there to create an account and check things out. But the app kind of stopped my exploration dead. It's a little barebones right now for my tastes right now, especially as far as customisation goes. And I'd be spending more time there than in front of my laptop.
Right now I think the only features that I'm really missing here on Lemmy itself are posting to your own profile and multicommunities.
And it would be great if instances like Blåhaj could enforce their own rules regarding things like downvotes properly, so that they could be disabled there for EVERYONE but enabled in places that still allow downvotes (this should go for individual communities too). The current implementation seems a little like an afterthought on the Lemmy devs' part.
Edit: the biggest problem that I can see so far with excluding Blåhaj users from even seeing downvotes is that it gives an incorrect perception of things. If a bigot gets 2 upvotes and 20 downvotes, I'll only see the 2 upvotes.
Yes, there's some progress made on that on !piefed_meta@piefed.social , another platform you might like to try 😄
Nice, thank you very much! I'll definitely be checking it out. As long as I can access these forums or something similar with decent activity and users, I'll be happy.
Enjoy, they all have their quirks, hopefully you'll find your favorite one soon!
Sorry for going on here but just want to say, reading through all of the features for Piefed I already like what I'm seeing very much. Before I've even tried an account. The approach and philosophy towards moderation in particular makes me confident that I wouldn't be instance hopping much there based on those sorts of disagreements.
Edit: also something nice is the ability to use the same import/export from Lemmy.
Glad that you like it!
Saying this here because I already double responded to the other post. I might be stupid and I'm not seeing an option to toggle views but one thing that I can see about PieFed that wouldn't work so nicely on a mobile web browser (at least in my case) is no compact view.
I've edited the title of my post here to include PieFed. It would be nice if some of these Lemmy app devs at least knew about the WiP Lemmy forks (if that's even the right word).
Piefed is going to fork Thunder:
Very nice! I actually just checked it out in Firefox Android and it's actually not that bad, not at all what I was picturing in terms of large images taking up more than the screen lol. It does have a couple of graphical oddities that go away with a refresh but I'll maybe reply to that email that I got when I subscribed with screenshots, like it asked. Later when I'm doing stuff at my desk.
So if it takes a while for the app or I'm not satisfied or whatever, it wouldn't be too painful for me to just use Firefox until something better comes along.
Yeah for now PieFed is web only. IMO the website works well enough on mobile.
It's quite easy to develop new themes so making a compact version for mobile would be easy for someone who knows CSS.
I'm definitely going to give PieFed a proper go, I've even made an account there already. There's just a couple of things I'm still doing and seeing here.
The web UI on mobile really isn't that bad, even with the full card view, unlike I thought it would be. I do have an odd issue though where on first load, the page is darker than it should be and text and pictures are surrounded by a white box. And seemingly if I switch to another app and back to Firefox again causing it to reload, it loads correctly.
I'll send a screenshot from PieFed maybe in a couple of hours or my tomorrow. Been trying to upload an image here in this reply for the last who knows how long but there seem to be server issues.
