    Probably not a big deal but your username autopopulates the login field.

      Seriously, would it be possible to integrate Lemmy Handshake into Lemmy source code?

      I feel this should be part of the core package.

    Do you accept PRs? I’d love to setup an iOS build for this

        LASIM is similar and while it won’t run on iOS it will work on *Nix, Windows, and MacOS.

          Unfortunately I’m basically 99% mobile only in my personal life, and while I could drag out my laptop for this it would just be hella nice to have an iOS app for the function. Thank you for the think, though!

    Beware!

    This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.

    Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I’m missing a few.

      I’m sorry it happened, it definitely should not do it, could you describe the steps you made to trigger this behavior? So I can patch it ASAP?

        Please add a logging functionality, so that even if something like that would happen in the future because of some special case bug, it would still be possible to figure out which subscriptions were removed.

        Same thing happened to me, it seemed like it didn’t do it when I had just two accounts, but it did do it when I had 3.

        Not sure if it has anything to do with certain communities not being federated to the other instances

        Here is everything I can remember doing:

        1. Downloaded the apk

        2. Installed and opened the program

        3. Allowed notifications

        4. Input my four instances: lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.basedcount.com, and lemmy.ml

        5. Hit “sync” and watched them sync. Three of these instances had almost the same number of communities (around 120), but one had none whatsoever. It took two or three minutes for that instance (basedcount) to sync all of the communities, and in the end, it wasn’t able to subscribe to about 20 of them for some reason. (maybe because nobody had ever gone to/searched for those communities from that instance before - I’ve heard this can lead to access problems, but you’d probably know more about that than I would)

        6. About five minutes later, I got couple of notifications saying that 6(-ish) communities had been synced and that 18(-ish) had been unsubscribed across my instances. This confused me, so I checked my instance list and saw that all three of my instances with around 120 communities now had around 95.

        7. I disabled notifications because they were starting to feel spammy.

        8. I looked at the notification again and realized what had actually happened. I immediately uninstalled the program and resubscribed to as many communities as I could on lemm.ee, my main account.

        Sorry this is so long - I hope it helps!

      The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments but I don’t have the knowledge to do so

    Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working for accounts with 2FA. Had to disable it to get the job done.

      Vish, this is really an issue, I’ll add it to issues so I can check if it’s possible to fix later

        Awesome to hear. It has already been useful for me, just so I could move my subscriptions to another instance, because the one I’m on has been under fire lately.

    Maybe now people can finally spread out… It’s just sad to see everyone on Lemmy.world as if it was the new Gmail or something.

        My company blocks lemmy.zip on WiFi, but lets lemmy.world through. So I tried to be on something other than lemmy.world, but still use it about half the time.
