    Voyager but the lack of the language field is not great. Posting with Voyager gets you less reach

    I’m brand new to Lemmy and grabbed voyager to get started, can you elaborate? I’d be grateful as i’m still a noob.

    The app still doesn’t support the localisation needed to get optimal discovery on Lemmy. Lemmy has a language field for each post which Voyager leaves blank. Lots of users have a setting “only show me posts in English” which then filters out posts where the language is set to It’s been a “feature request” that’s been open for years.

    If you want to break peoples profiles, Voyager is the way!

    You mean see through the profile lies by seeing people's actual usernames, not screen names, while also seeing if an account is less then a month old.

    Summit and Interstellar are my two favorite's right now.

    Boost (Android)

    It was the best app for Reddit before. Now it's the best app for Lemmy.

    Voyager. Don't remember why I stuck to this one, but the others I tried lacked some features I wanted.

    I can reply to someone, I can even tap the "quote" formatting button, but I can't select text to copy/paste! Very irritating, but maybe I'm just not doing it right...

    This is fixed, but I haven’t released the update yet. The fix will go out in version 1.10.2. I’ll try and get that out in a week or so.

    Honestly knowing I have active users makes me feel less burnout. Since I don’t track user engagement, sometimes I wonder if people are still enjoying Blorp. A review, comment, or star on GitHub goes a long way.

    1. Touch zone on the back arrow of the media viewer is too small and I have to get out my electron microscope every time I want to go back to list view
    2. Media viewer doesn’t support touch functions like double tap to zoom
    3. i want to mark as read on scroll in the c/all view (or really any community list view
    4. When writing comments, there are some inconsistencies in capitalization of the first word (see the I in #3 that wasn’t capitalized)
    5. Just noticed a bug when creating list items. Create an item, hit the carriage return to create a new item. Tap delete. The list number is removed but the cursor is in a sub item of the previous list item. Tap delete again. The first list element is deleted and your text is moved out of the list

    These are rather nitpicky items. I use Blorp every day and like it more than Voyager, Arctic and Mlem

    I don’t mind nitpicky, but I appreciate labeling this as nice to have rather than a must. I’ll see what I can do, thanks!

    I use Jerboa. It's closest to the app I used for Reddit (Joey) after a few tweaks.

    Flat list of posts, small thumbnails on the side. Clean interface. Default sort is all top day.

    Your link leads to 404 for me

    lemmy.toldi.eu may not have a web frontend.

    I get a 404 also, when trying to view the link in a browser.

    Try using Voyager or other Lemmy client.

    I'm on Voyager, but Android is sometimes a bit weird in that regard. However, not really surprising news. I have been an Eternity fan from the first second, but I noticed very soon development is very, very slow. At one point I switched to Voyager when the bugs got too many.

    Voyager, but I wish I could see other people's modlogs, they sound funny

    Boost. Only problem I have is videos often only play in thumbnail and load infinitely when clicked on. Not that important for me though.

    With Jerboa and Voyager there were a lot of small problems that just made the experience worse.

    Jerboa. I find the UI very nice. Right around amount of info and density (i hate excessive padding), fully customizable colors, not 1 glitch

    Thunder. Cross-platform and it has a very nice uncluttered UI. Works with piefed too.

    Connect, but a recent update to the UI is quite annoying. Some text is quite small but not all the time, they added a giant banner at the top. It was fine before.

    Blorp for piefed and Lemmy

  • source

    Does blorp support showing crossposts the way that PieFed handles it? (Displaying comments from each community on the post).

  • [–] 3 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    Blorp dev here. It doesn’t. I totally understand that many Lemmy communities can feel too quiet, but I never fully understood the consolidating comments thing. I believe Lemmy and PieFed both associate posts based on url, not post body, title, etc. Only the url has to match.

    Now imagine you had a conservative community and a liberal community, and they both shared the same news article. However, one community was expressing support for the article while the other was expressing disapproval. Then in the comments, people were saying “I agree with this take”. How would you know if they were agreeing with the conservative or liberal community’s perspective of the article?

    If communities could mutually express they want a combined view or could be useful, and you could mark comments with which community they're in (but each whole reply chain would need to be in the same community)

    Eternity. I didn't like Voyager, too many bells and whistles.

    Eternity is pretty simple, no user avatars, allows faster reading of actual content.

    I like reading other peoples perspectives her, and Eternity does not seem to be recieving regular bug-fixes. So many Voyager Enjoyers that I may give it another try.

    A fellow Eternity user!!

    I wonder if there is a third.

    Eternity isn't totally dead but it also was never truly alive (in a dev sense), but I love the dev(s), they help me waste many hours.

    I still love it despite it never implementing a lot of basics. Especially the UI, and how ez it is to share links (post or main link from the post) or save pics to a folder.
