Wonder if things are okay

        The user agent needs to be patched to meet the current formatting requirements

        What’s that formatting?

      I gave you money when Reddit pulled their stunt just so you could have it

      You rock, thanks for being awesome and I’ll continue to support you and thanks for supporting us

      Edit: apparently I forgot to buy the ad-free version of Boost for Lemmy. I just changed that and I would love to recommend other people do the same, I have used your apps for years, and they’re fking amazing. You deserve every penny and I’m thrilled to support ongoing development because I know Lemmy is undergoing technical changes and you need to keep hustling to make Boost work.

          I mean you absolutely rule, and I used ad-free versions for a while… But then I thought about it and I realized like maybe just today I won’t have takeout and I’ll boil some rice with a *soup packet and then you can have the $5 like you deserve it bro

    I look at it this way if the app still works with the latest version of lemmy server then it’s not abandoned and the new version is done when it’s done. Until it breaks it’s not abandoned.

      By that definition many of the games I have from the 90’s on CD’s that are still playable from companies that no longer exist are not abandoned 😝

        Yeah the concepts of constant updates has been pushed by corporations as a loop hole for planned obsolescence. If the software works and you get what you wanted put of it then it’s not abandoned by the users just the developers are finished with it for now. Hell look at pillars of Eternity just got an update after how many years. Also it’s the very thing the https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ movement is all about.

      I’m still using it even with ads, so I’m glad they’re still alive. Idk why, though. What features do we even lack?

        I think spoilers are still not working. (Please do not interpret “still” as impatience).

          Oh man I forgot about the switching accounts while commenting thing. That’s been so annoying to go all the way back out and then try to find where you were.

          But spoilers are the biggest one for me, that’s experience breaking right there.

          Glad to see they’re still alive and developing,I was worried.

        Post/comment swipe gesture actions would be nice. Lets you hide a bunch of buttons per default which cleans up the UI.

        I hate it doesn’t have algorithms to recommend some new subreddit or whatever it’s called here and that it doesn’t show more the subreddits that I visit most often, I’m tired of seeing so many r/worldnews or wtv, I want to see less posts of it and because it was being annoying, I ended up unsubscribing. I go to reddit more often because of this

        Edit: clarification

          You can filter communities yourself by blocking them. Or subscribe to communities and curate your own feed, just like you can do on Reddit.

          I have a list of casual communities here https://lemmy.world/post/2216085 you can use as a starting point. Curating your own feed is the best way to browse Lemmy imo, but if that’s too much, don’t be afraid to block away.

            I don’t want to block away, I just want for it to show less, on reddit I don’t need to do anything, it does everything for me

                  Are you asking how to browse your own subscribed feed or how to subscribe to communities, because on either case it’s the same as it is on the Reddit app?

          That looks like something for the backend, and not something I’d expect a client to do. If you’re not interested in a community you could consider blocking it. There’s also some room for experimentation with the various storting methods.

          What do you mean “based on what you watched”?

          Do you mean

          a. Posts you already read show up again? (There is an option to hide read posts)

          b. You want entire communities not to show up? (That is why you should subscribe to those you want and use the “subscribed” feed or, if you want to use the “all” feed, simply block the communities you dont want to see)

            I mean showing more posts from the communities that I see frequently, all I want is more equilibrium, it can show up posts from r/worldnews and r/sciencememes but not too much and showing more posts from other communities that I am subscribed not just a few. Until then I will use reddit more often

              So essentially a new sorting option, different from hot/active/scaled… which sorting do you currently use?

                  You should be able to sort your subscribed feed by hot, scaled etc already. That is implemented. Click on the symbol with the multiple lines in the top bar.

          I’m not sure if any of em have that (yet). Would be nice to see a page out of BlueSky for playlists people can share, because I do know you can at least kind of control your feed (although I like the consistency of All here vs Reddit, but I’m engaged in news)
