Still definitely a work in progress but it’s great so far.
wefwef.app is an Apollo style client for Lemmy. It’s amazing. It has made moving to Lemmy so much easier. It’s almost a perfect match to the ui of apollo.
Yeah WefWef is awesome! Made me feel at home after losing Apollo. Highly recommend. Github is at https://github.com/aeharding/wefwef.
The guys over at Sync are working on a Lemmy app too. It’s only for Android, though, I believe.
*The guy. It’s just one dude! Just wanted to highlight that because it’s the best designed app I’ve ever used, and it has one single dev.
He doesn’t really advertise it so I’m just going to mention I found out recently he has a patreon for anyone else who’s been a long time fan and didn’t know.
Yep. After enjoying Sync Pro for several years, I was really happy to see it was being developed for Lemmy. I figured it was time to join his Patreon.
It’s actually my first Patreon ever. I’ve often tipped/purchased to support developers, but generally been opposed to subscriptions in the past.
hello! author here. I’m late to this party but, just for good order:
This script is good for desktop, but not great for mobile. If your primary interaction is on a mobile device, probably check the comments for (much) better alternatives.
if you are on an instance that has upgraded to v0.18.1 (lemmy.world; lemm.ee; feddit.nl; etc.) and browse on widescreen/desktop you will want this version (for the updated UI):
https://github.com/soundjester/lemmy_monkey/raw/dev-v2.6-Lemmy-v0.18.1/old.reddit.compact.user.js
yes, @Enkers@sh.itjust.works has it correct, I’m referring to the linked userscript (not Sync).
Sync will probably work just fine for mobile, but i’m not 100% sure it is available. I think it’s just in development at the moment.
6 week eta but there’s a signup page available now. May need to disable adblock or Firefox privacy settings temporarily to make the form work. This might have been fixed already though.
I’m excited about Sync for Lemmy. The dev says about 6 weeks.
This is amazing actually.
Semi tech illiterate and don’t fully understand what each instance means and how it works. Sync will be nice to try
Each instance is basically it’s own version of reddit.
Each community is a subreddit.
Each instance can have duplicate subreddits with its own rules and moderators, so you can sub to one or the other, or both. I.e. lemmy.ca can have an aww community and Lemmy.world can have an aww community, but even if your home instance is Lemmy.ml you can comment, subscribe, and post to both version of the aww instance.
Is there a way to show all communities for that topic at the same time? Say when someone posts to any aww community it comes up alongside all other posts in different instances? I think this is where my disconnect is, if a client can see all of them anyway, why not have them collapse down on one another client side so you can see all of what’s being posted and not just a slice?
Thank you for writing this up.
Is there a list of all communities or any reason that one instance is better than another?
Think of it like email.
An account on gmail can still talk to a Yahoo account. Now just apply that to users and communities on lemmy.
I’m on iusearchlinux.fyi but can still engage with communities and users on lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
So, but, forgive my ignorance, but why? Is it a hosting/capacity issue? Why multiple instances with different addresses?
I couldn’t sign up on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml (I think) but registered on redd.that. What does that mean for me?
If you’re familiar with IRC it works almost exactly like that but via a website. Your browser is your client and you can connect to and sign up accounts on any server. Channels can be seen and interacted with across instances though but they are still seperate entities, which is the only difference.
Although it seems like there would be multiple communities and fragmentation what usually ends up happening is that your server fedeates other popular subs though others interacting them and they still gain traction and get popular.
Thanks for posting this. I never realized there was this level of personal customization capable with Lemmy.
Depends on the theme. Some of the Lemmy themes do silly stuff like making the comment nesting colored borders with inline CSS marked “!important” so it’s impossible to change without invasive methods. It should be enough to use a CSS extension to adjust the theme and not resort to one that runs custom JavaScript.
