Hi guys!
I've been using Ravelry for around a decade now (not so much for the social aspect - which has always been great, when I did participate) and have gotten a few apps over the years to help fill in the gaps - like before the mobile view was useful, I had an app that was a mobile-app-interface for the desktop site, for example.
Yesterday was the first time I'd heard of Ribblr and I think I really like it! It seems to have the databasing of patterns and yarn like Ravelry does, but there's a method of keeping tabs on where you are in the pattern right there on the page. And there's a marketplace. I don't know how much I care about that, but I do have 2 large suitcases of things I've made and still have...
This is not an advertisement or affiliate linking or anything like that - I was just curious if any of you guys had seen it (been around since 2019, I guess. I don't internet much), have any insights on Ribblr - good or bad - or have any other sites that you would recommend people check out.
Thanks!
Reddit was my go to for finding patterns. They always linked to ravelry, YouTube, Etsy, or some other random site that creators made for hosting their own patterns. Ribblr is a new one for me.
@ConfusedOrder How about Lemmy?
What about it? We are on Lemmy right now.
@ConfusedOrder Interesting, because it looked like a Mastodon post.
How did you do this, because in general Lemmy posts look weird on Mastodon.
I'm so confused. Lol. What did I do? I'm browsing lemmy.ca crochet using a web browser if that's what you're asking.
@ConfusedOrder @utopify_org Hah, I stumbled across this convo on Mastodon side and can see the issue. Basically for whatever reason, the original post is missing from this thread when viewed in Mastodon. Hence the confusion!
Your top-level comment looks like it's a standalone post rather than a reply, because the OP isn't there. But it looks different to all the other "posts", because it's not one!
Isn't techology fun ๐
So fun!! lol. As a computer technician it constantly makes me want to vomit. :)
@ConfusedOrder @thegiddystitcher all post should look like this, because it's super inconvenient to only get a link instead of the conversation.
But does someone know the reason why it behaves like this and why it's not connected to the main topic on Mastodon?
@utopify_org @ConfusedOrder I do wish we could get the full text, it's weird that comments show up fine but the OP is always just a link. Maybe one day I'll learn enough about how Lemmy works to put in a pull request, but it is not this day!
