Screenshots of Boost for Lemmy included.
Motherfucker downvoted Star Trek?!? This is war.
From hell’s heart… I stab at thee. For hate’s sake… I spit my last breath at thee!
Kbin didn’t get a mention, bit rough I feel 💔
If you are using hacker news on mobile. I would recommend Glider. It’s a smooth hacker news client. Unfortunately, the dev had his app removed from the play store for reasons but you can access it from its github or fdroid.
Play Store has strict rules for apps with user generated content. You have to provide ways to block and report users/content to stay on the play store. Glider didn’t provide a way to automatically report things by the user as hacker news doesn’t provide one. So, google suspended it. Here’s the github issue if you are interested: https://github.com/Mosc/Glider/issues/83
Yeah I’ve seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say “reasons” in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people “Google suspended the dev for being racist” or something.
Love the app. Especially love the catch up feature. My only major problem with it is in a thread with lots of comments, tht don’t all load at once, and if you try to collapse a comment and scroll down, it goes crazy while it loads all the replies to the comment you collapsed, meaning I have to wait for all the comments to load before I can read anything.
I think these comment limits are temporary until they figure out some issues with the database usage. See https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3306 as an example.
They have been making good progress on identifying areas for improvement, so these should get fixed eventually.
You can create a feature request on their github. Maybe, the dev considers it one day
I pretty much only chose Lemmy because of the promise of Boost for Lemmy.
I look forward to trying Boost, even though I only used it for Reddit briefly, several years ago! On desktop, I like the Lemmy web UI just as well as Old Reddit.
Really wish the RIF is Fun would migrate to Lemmy, but it appears he’s going to move to another service
I think it’s Tildes.net
