Blorp dev here. Looks like it might be an instance thing. On PieFed.social I'm seeing the article, but on Lemmy.zip I'm only seeing an image. PieFed.social is returning separate urls for post url and post thumbnail, but Lemmy.zip returns the same image url for post url and post thumbnail. I'm not sure if it's a PieFed/Lemmy issue or just happens to be that the two instances I tested are working that way.

    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?

    [Proposal] Content Filtering (lemmy.zip)
     

    I'm working on a new filtering engine that I think will be like nothing you've seen yet.

    Basic overview:

    • There will be a list of filters you can browse
      • E.g. US Politics
    • You select the filter list(s) you are interested in
    • The filter list will receive updates.
      • Say a new political event happens and a new name floods the news. The list can be updated dynamically to include the new name without you having to do anything.

    For those of you that are tech savvy:

    • Filter lists will live on GitHub
    • You can fork an existing filter list.
    • You can create/host your own filter list for other Blorp users.
    • You can open pull requests for existing filter lists.
    • There will be some tools within Blorp to debug your filter list

    Other notes:

    • I don't plan on letting you build these filter list from within the app. They are far too complex to edit easily within the app.
    • But that complexity means you can do far more than other apps
      • Block a post IF it mentions a US state (e.g. "Texas") AND it mentions "shooting"
      • Block a post IF it mentions "ICE" AND it mentions ("detention" OR "deport")
      • Block a post IF it's by a specific list of users AND it mentions a specific word
    • The goal is to create more collaboration between users and make it easier to cut through all the noise on Lemmy and PieFed

    How are you currently using filtering in Blorp, Voyager, etc?

    • What type of content are you currently trying to block?
    • Are your filters very unique to you, or something that could be shared as a list?

    [Announcement] PieFed flair support! (lemmy.zip)
     

    Support for PieFed flairs is currently being tested on https://blorpblorp.xyz/. You must select a PieFed instance that’s already using PieFed v1.2 (e.g. PieFed.social). You can visit !movies@piefed.social, which already uses flairs.

    This functionality will take a couple weeks to roll out to the iOS and Android apps. You feedback on the web version would be helpful, thanks!

    [Release] v1.9.21 (lemmy.zip)
     

    I'm changing how I handle releases a little. I'm going to have releases sit in beta for 1 week, then push them to iOS and Google Play. Anything in beta is done being worked on, but if anyone identifies any critical issues, please let me know before that version makes it to prod.

    v1.9.21 in production

    v1.9.22 in beta

    Also!

    If you haven't noticed, blorpblorp.xyz is like alpha. It get's releases before beta.
