Awesome. Now if only Dystopia for iOS were willing to do the same, but they seem determined to lick the boot now that they’ve got permission to use the API for free. I suppose I can’t blame them too much, but still it’s disheartening. At any rate, with any luck we’ll have a decent Lemmy / Kbin app soon, I’m about sick of the websites.
Definitely a cool feature, just wish it didn’t dump everything in the subject field when making posts. Also, it looks like you boost posts / comments to upvote them, which isn’t exactly ideal if you plan on not pissing off literally all of your followers.
Kind of surprised the SNP’s numbers didn’t go down TBH, I expected them to come out of this rather badly in light of recent scandals, particularly since a general election would be a fairly good opportunity for Scottish voters to give the ruling party a kick up the backside without actually removing them from power, in much the same way that we use local elections. Glad to see the Lib Dems are going up though, it’ll be good to have a counterbalancing force to the Tories in parliament, plus they’re more liberal on social issues which is nice, though they could be a lot better on that score. Still, you’ve gotta take what you can get in Tory Britain.
Nope. Not a chance. I have no love for giant corporations, and Reddit has always been particularly shit even by that standard. Say what you want about the evils of Meta / Google / Apple, ETC ETC ETC, but at least they generally try to keep their users happy, or at least using their platforms. Reddit just seem to have absolutely no idea what their users want half the time, Reddit premium anyone? The way they handled, or rather failed to handle, the accessibility issue also leaves a rather bitter taste in my mouth.
Holy shit it all makes sense now! I’ve been seeing posts and comments randomly talking about magazines for ages now with absolutely no idea what any of them are going on about. Didn’t realise it was a Kbin thing. That’s one of the downsides of Federation I suppose, sometimes shit just gets weird.
Eh, the Internet is full of bots, particularly bots that just register and then do nothing. I wouldn’t worry about it.
This. I’m commenting from rblind.com, and yours is the only comment I’m seeing, pun not intended. I hadn’t really noticed this until now, I just assumed Lemmy wasn’t all that popular yet. I’m guessing I’d see no comments whatsoever if I wasn’t subscribed to communities on feddit.uk.
Pretty sure this is already a thing, or at least there’s precedent for companies being sued for inaccessible websites. I seem to remember a successful case involving Domino’s Pizza a few years ago, and I’ve heard elsewhere that retailers have been sued before. I’m not too familiar with US law though, so I could be wrong.
Yeah that seems to have fixed it on my end as well, touch wood.
Definitely looks interesting. I’m not a fan of corpos either, but still it’ll be fascinating to see what they do with it, particularly since Bluesky turned out to be such a dud.
I didn’t know they’d joined. Do you have a source for this?
That’s an incredibly cool feature. It’s even possible to view threads fairly efficiently via mastodon, but I’m guessing you already know that.
Same. Would be even better if we had an iOS / Mac app like Dystopia, but I’m sure that’ll happen eventually, and I’ll take what I can get for the time being.
PS: just seeing if I can reply to comments without breaking the world. Keep getting language not allowed errors, and it’s getting beyond frustrating. Hopefully if I manually select a language it will stop complaining. It seems to be very hit and miss as to weather or not it throws a fit, it didn’t care when I was replying to a comment in my own thread, but my last couple attempts to reply to this comment haven’t gone through at all. Hopefully it works now.
Test.
Edit: okay, this seems to work now. Didn’t even need to select a language that time, for some reason it didn’t even complain but at least it’s there if I run into the same error again.
Update. Apparently this is happening here as well. I just got that same language not allowed error when attempting to reply to a comment in another thread.
Okay, this is very odd. It says English right above my post, so clearly it didn’t select undetermined by default. Perhaps this could be caused by something else entirely. It’s extremely irritating either way.
Thanks for all of the work you’re doing. This is definitely looking more and more like a viable alternative to Reddit.
Works on iOS with Safari as well.
