right but that's not the kind of constructive answer we want to be replying to people now is it? Lemmy is still growing and the inflow of users, whether from Reddit or not, is a great opportunity to get free feedback and try to do something about it. Maybe there's UI improvements that could be used to make it feel less confusing or something.

I take this kind of comment as legit feedback from a user that is struggling with a base concept of the "product", we could engage with them and see where the root cause is.

After many years of using custom stock ROMs on my phone's, that were always better and more up to date than the branded android ROM the phone came with, I've decided a few months ago to finally get a Google Pixel 6.

It's a great experience, basically feels like all the custom ROMs I've been using all these years but the camera is great and Google Wallet works, also some pixel exclusive niceties like the PO Pixel app from teenage engineering, etc, and as always the most up to date Android version available.

Go into the water, live there, die there.

Took Dethklok too literally I guess?

That's the whole problem with any social app right. Would be so happy to ditch Whatsapp for better alternatives but what's the point if no one I know is there.

Glad you guys are here though :p

Amarok 1.4. Loved that thing. Everything that came afterwards in both terms of version and other similar apps even the mainstream ones do not get close to how good Amarok used to be.

I m glad you mentioned it! after I posted this on Tuesday night, I came up with the same idea! To Infinity, and Beyond!

I see no reason why not

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

honestly as of now I see no reason why not open sourcing it, I still didn't upload the code anywhere yet but probably will chose gitlab

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I can definitely look into it

Hi all, keeping this post short, I am working on a new Lemmy app for iOS and Android, heavily inspired on the Infinity for Reddit app.

The app is very much still a work in progress, but I's like to share some screenshots and a few MVP functionalities already implemented:

Screenshots

Already implemented:

  • Anonymous browsing;
  • Login;
  • Multiple accounts support;
  • Account switcher;
  • Post cards
  • Sorting posts by Lemmy's sorting options (Active/Hot/New/etc..);
  • Listing posts by Lemmy's listing options (Subscribed/Local/All);
  • Upvote, downvote (and counters), comment counter, save;
  • Mark post as read;
  • Infinite post scrolling (keep on scrolling, app loads more posts in the background);

What's next before I make it available in the app stores (MVP):

  • Post view (see post's comments);
  • Add a comment to a post;
  • Create a post;
  • A sexier selected account card on the sidebar;

What's still to do before I can call it a beta version:

  • Profile view;
  • Community view (rules mods other details);
  • Search;
  • Dark mode;

What's to come after:

  • Custom theming/Material You support;
  • Advanced post filters;
  • Community groups (Add communities to a group, see posts only from selected group);
  • A video player with controls over speed playback and maybe quality if possible;
  • Alternative posts view (compact card, list, etc)
  • Other cool misc options.

Dreams:

  • Kbin and Mastodon accounts support.

Keep an eye for future posts, I may be able to announce the MVP by the end of this week if everything goes well, but I can't promise anything :)

EDIT:

This post got so much traction than I had predicted. Thank you so much for all your comments and ideas! I tried to reply to as many as I could.

I also collected from this post a bunch of good suggestions from you which for now I am keping track of here: https://brunofinger.notion.site/brunofinger/Beyond-45cabaae7f724cd5ad2b77d902e9a97e

The app name probably will be "Beyond" as suggested by a couple of users here, and really like this idea as it creates a sort of symbolic link to Infinity as the inspiration for my work by the famous "To Infinity and Beyond" phrase :)

Here's a slightly outdated screenshot: https://beehaw.org/comment/267654

As of now infinite scrolling already works besides only 10 as I mentioned in my post, also some performance updates (already) :)

I am hoping maybe in 1 to 3 weeks to announce a stable version, maybe a beta before it, let's see :)

I found the https://waveform.social/ instance while browsing for synthesizers communities, and the entire instance seems interesting to me and I'd like any content posted to that instance's local to appear in my subscribed list.

Is that possible?

It's sad though I truly enjoyed Reddit like obviously many here, but also to be fair I've also felt like the quality of posts and comments overall degraded and the whole thing turned into a big meme factory where only funny images with text and tiktok reposts really were uploaded.

The whole thing started going downhills as soon as the first tiktok reposts started flooding in to be fairly honest. Let's please not let this happen much here, unless of course in dedicated communities for that because everything has a place.

Also, this is my first ever post on Lemmy, hi 👋
