Absolutely. I have no problem displaying a few ads with my content if it results in better content. If it’s done responsibly, which it never is. Instead, it’s always an abusive relationship.

So I’m ignorant here, but what is the spec difference between the supplied iPhone USB-C cable and the one that comes with the newer MacBooks? I never bothered to look, but I did mark the one that came with my MacBook as I assumed it was higher rated than some other cable (although I still just charge with the MagSafe adapter anyway).

The most noticeable thing when I went back to the site with a fresh account (unfortunately there are still a few real niche communities that I want to participate in that refuse to move) I was inundated with a bunch of right wingy content. New subs like “true unpopular opinion” parrot a bunch of shitty views disguised as “conversations”. Lots of racism, homophobia, and other terrible shit now there right in the open on the home feed.

This is true, actually. I’ve felt uncomfortable adding something that essentially can create 10s of requests per second to an APIs that have been struggling significantly.

I see though that it’s being done and - although I’m not one of the admins to know - things seem to be fine now.

I don’t think it’s the best idea, given the fragility of things, but we can revisit this.

I think this only works on Windows oddly enough. Probably really trying to push safari on macOS.

The only gripe I have about this is that third party browsers on MacOS don’t support Passkey. If you use Safari it’s absolutely wonderful, but…safari.

Still though, it isn’t incredibly difficult to just go into Settings to get passwords, but it’s still a pain.

I can second this. The only issue out of the box from my experience was getting speeds over 100Mbps working over WiFi, takes a bit of configuring (at least it did for my router).

Another thing that I like is considering not what I can do to “change my life in a year” but “what can I do tomorrow to improve my life even a little bit right now?”

Instead of getting caught up on larger things that might take years to achieve, if I consider something I can change right now that will make tomorrow a better day, those changes will add up much more quickly and noticeably.

Even if I can’t think of something, that’s fine. I can accept that, and just move on to the next day. The important thing is to ask myself this every day, so that I can give myself the option of making that change and having that reflection.

I have a separate account now for meme communities. I enjoy memes, but gotta be a way to filter them out better without blocking the communities.

Yea you can filter by subscribed but then you also miss new content or communities you don’t know about yet.

Best solution I’ve found is to block all of that on the main account and just switch over to another account if you feel like seeing the memes.

what was it for?

The world may never know 😔

Well spez was a moderator on that sub…

No that’s fair. You’re right that it isn’t being actively blocked or anything, but Facebook themselves have not launched it because they know the privacy issues are pretty big and they could easily run afoul of the law there.

Obviously not to say they never will launch there, but I’d imagine there’s some significant changes that need to be made before that’s allowed.

Regardless, only time will tell, and I’m sure Facebook won’t lose the opportunity to expand. And like you said, time definitely played a part in this, I’m sure given more time we would have seen a launch all at once.

Yea the fact this cannot even be released in the EU is one of the biggest red flags I have ever seen yet loads of people seem to not care at all. 🤷‍♂️

Fwiw it literally just went into in review by Apple so it might be on the store in an hour or so here.

Yep. Just because people don’t say something doesn’t mean they don’t feel some type of way about it.

I think I got stuck in review hell. I resubmitted a build today.

After reviewing this, I’ve updated the license for Memmy. Frankly had no idea, good idea to let people know like you said and just kindly inform them through GitHub or otherwise.

I believe you can literally just add a . To the end of your own gmail and it will go to yours. Ie hello.1@gmail.com will go to hello@gmail.com.

Developer here. I’ve been looking at the API calls made by the app, and I’ll try to give a good example of what is going on:

To be honest, you’re probably not going to see a drastic change in API calls right now. The only things that you are calling the API for are:

• Load items in the feed
• Load post/comments
• Load profiles
• Submit votes
• Submit comments
• Submit posts
• One initial call at app launch to obtain user info (subscriptions, settings, saved posts, etc, lemmy’s API gives you all of this in one call)

This is about the same use that you’re going to see in the actual web version.

While there may be upsides and downsides to how they are doing it right now, you can get pretty much all of the info you need through one API call. For example, if I get a post, the response will include most of the user info, most of the community info, and obviously all of the post info, plus more. I don’t need to make separate calls to retrieve all of that data.

Same goes for user info. In just one call, I can retrieve all of the information as far as subscriptions, moderated communities, user settings, and more without having to make a separate call for each one.

The issue is going to be mainly just the influx of traffic in general, not the apps themselves from what I can tell.

I’m also including the app’s name in the user agent so that if something were to ever become a problem, anyone can reach out and discuss what they are seeing so that it can be corrected.

Edit: I think one of the biggest issues that larger instances may run into is data usage. Nearly all photos that get posted to Lemmy are hosted on particular instances instead of services like Imgur. There’s ups and down to both, but in the short term I can see this possibly as being an issue if instances are not being ran on providers who are lenient or provide their data at low costs.
