One is not big enough to hold two. That’s why two was created.
I wonder how much work it would be to port Lemmy UI to PieFed lol. I mean it’s the same API that the apps are using and some apps seem to be adding PieFed support, so it can’t be too hard.
Honestly the biggest issue is that there aren’t many choices of frontends. Like for Lemmy some people use Voyager, some use Boost, Jerboa, Connect, Summit… There’s a ton of choices. The more choices there are the better your chances of finding one that you love.
I am definitely a fan of the non-flashy UI, it’s clean
1·7 days agoI could see it causing clashes for very specific communities, maybe those could be manually disabled cause I can only think of very few
or the comments could be grouped by multicommunities
merging them completely is bad yes, but the way PieFed does it is nice, they have separate headers for the comments from each community
pretty sure Lemmy v1.0 will have that
Scaled is AMAZING for the Subscribed view, and this is my primary way of browsing Lemmy. But yea it’s pretty terrible for All
following hashtags kinda tricks people into thinking that it’s going to be good, but hashtags don’t trigger federation so it’s a bit of a disappointment unless you’re on a big instance
If you want to see smaller communities, sort by “Scaled”
If you REALLY want to browse All, try the “New Comments” sort, it’s like old forums
But I rarely look at All, mostly just Subscribed or Local
yea the web browser is local software lol
but really this feature should exist regardless of autocomplete, just to reduce user confusion, so people are aware of how this stuff works instead of trying to click the login link and then failing to login and making an angry Reddit post about it
the fact that it presents a link to solve the user’s problem means that the user will click on it, and currently Lemmy only shows the login link as the solution to the problem, so of course the users will click on that and then they’re lost
Rather than being a form, the local software could just detect and do it all seamlessly.
the web browser won’t grant access to cross domain storage
even if it did some people have multiple accounts, or may not have logged in on the current device yet, or might be browsing incognito/inprivate, so it would still have to be a form of some kind
I think that just means the platform is not for you (or for me). If it was a good fit for you then you would have people that you want to follow.
it’s better than nothing, users get so confused currently when they see this
that message would be greatly improved if it said “or open this in your home instance by clicking here”
also if it uses a common input name (which it would because it’s the same Lemmy software) then your webbrowser would suggest/autocomplete it
I never enjoyed Mastodon or Twitter either
but if you want to follow a person instead of a topic/community then you use Mastodon/Mbin/etc
have you seen the “Subscribe from Remote Instance” feature that already exists in Lemmy?
Could be identical to this
this makes me think we should have a marker for communities that are inactive/dead or an easy way to hide them or filter them out in favor of more active communities
we can tell :) keep it up
Chat view could show single comment of context
this would be almost identical to old school forums, clubsall does this too even with posts that originated from Lemmy
markdown element for datetime with automatic timezone conversions
