Same here … I was on sync but it doesn’t matter any more … I’ll stick to Lemmy and Jerboa … depending on how things grow new changes will make or break things and evolve over time … I’m looking forward to the future.
On Jerboa, when you’re in the font page you can see a button that looks like three horizontal lines, each one smaller than the one above. Click that and select “subscribed”.
you can make this your default in “settigns”
Do you know if there’s a way to preload cards so that it’s not constantly hanging up while I’m scrolling? Like I get if it’s every 20-30 links or so because you can’t load everything indefinitely but it’s incredibly choppy as-is.
You can remove cards altogether from Settings > Look and feel > Post view. Obviously not a good solution if you want them, but it made scrolling pretty smooth on my phone.
I’d love it if the 3rd party developers burned by Reddit started developing for Lemmy/kbin/Mastodon. First, there is lots of opportunity to make Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse more user friendly without sacrificing the benefits of federation. Second, it’s an open source ecosystem. The more developers in the space, the better for everyone.
It might require a significant amount of work to transition from the Apollo API to Lemmy. yesterday, I peeked at the Lemmy and Reddit APIs out of curiosity and they aren’t exactly similarity. So, there are two potential paths forward for the developer: either build a translation layer to preserve their existing code base, or undertake a complete re-engineering of there code base.
This issue is apparently severe enough that Fedi.Tips, decided to withdraw there support for Lemmy. The developers have seemingly not addressed these concerns since they were raised.
So ya, Lemmy isn’t exactly a squeaky clean project currently
Didnt know the apollo dev is from halifax… Makes me even more angry that reddit CEO tried to make him look like a liar
everyone on the internet is secretly Canadian .
I wonder if they’ll make a Lemmy client like how the tweetbot devs made ivory for mastodon
I’m trying Jerboa, on the f-droid app store (Android).
Hey me too. It isn’t bad, I miss RiF but this has a similar feel. Wish it was easier to see my subscriptions, I suspect I’ll get smoother with time
same, i was using ibfinity i asked the developer how hard could be port it to lemmy, ask the RiF too

Well, sync dev was considering their options so finders crossed.
Can you tell me how to see my subscriptions?

Thanks!

Idk, I haven’t seen that issue too much tbh

Unfortunately I’m on iOS so I Mlem isn’t too polished right now, so I just have the site installed as a pwa

There’s also the challenge of identifying functional Lemmy instances, which brings us to a complex issue that was raised on Rust reddit thread about possible using Lemmy https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/14921t7/alternative_rust_discussion_venues/. Where some concerning information regarding the lemmy dev was brought up.
This Mastodon post (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106835057054633379) seems to imply some socio-political implications. Although I can’t fully understand the context, it appears to be related to concerns about human rights oppression associated with Lemmy’s developers (https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/143o5xd/reconsidering_my_support_for_lemmy/
This issue is apparently severe enough that Fedi.Tips, decided to withdraw there support for Lemmy. The developers have seemingly not addressed these concerns since they were raised.

So lets just not register on the instances they run?
