Go upgrade!

Compact posts can be enabled through settings. (Additional layout config to come.)

The Apollo migration takes your reddit subs and makes it easy to tap through to search for equivalent lemmy communities. It's really fun to explore!

Oh, and ICYMI, 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 were release with some nice updates too, including viewing sidebars and comment editing!

Another reminder that if you use lemmy.world via wefwef, rate limiting is still breaking things. :-(

Temporary alternatives:

  1. Use a lemmy account from a different lemmy instance
  2. Use a different wefwef instance (or self host!)

Is that why I can't vote or other things?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes. Traffic is spiking to, I just had to upgrade the wefewf.app server..

So what should I do to not hit the rate limit? This app is awesome btw

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can self-host wefwef!

Or just bear with us, lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How do you self host and where do i get started? I have a vps that isn't that bad 1g ram 1gig whatever lol its only for my znc instance on irc but i should self host for myself so i don't run into any issues. also if i self host how do i get updates from you guys? never to late to start!

That migration tool is super cool.

Keep crushing it!

Unable to fetch posts on Firefox/Android post update... just letting you know in case it's not just me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Should be the ongoing rate limit issue with lemmy.world.

If you try any other instance, it should be smooth :)

Is it true that wefwef can read your password?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So much more usable for me now, thank you!

Awesome to see the pace of development

Would be great to see a reversed compact view

[–] nobody 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or maybe instead of a reverse compact view, take the Apollo approach and allow the user to select left/right for thumbnails and the vote icon?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's basically what I mean!

Reddit: We can’t create a usable app in years, even after buying another app that worked.

This Random Dude: Let me rebuild the most popular Reddit app for another service in, like, a week.

(I know this is hyperbole, but I, too, am impressed by all the updates. I think I started using this at 0.5.0 or something and in 24 hours it’s up to 0.8.0 with several QoL improvements.)

Testing.

Nvm ignore me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Love the compact view. Could we have an option to hide thumbnails also so it’s just post titles only?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's coming :)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Christan Selig changed some settings so Apollo isn't crashing anymore after you-know-who pulled the plug.

So you can export your settings again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How? Because I can't get past the farewell message.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Not anymore. In a yet more recent version, the rest of Apollo was closed off some reason.

So it seems you can't export anymore.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof, I uninstalled it so now I can't access the settings anymore. so sad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Noooooo, same here. Reinstalled Apollo but don’t see any way to export my data
