guessing this is going to be an Android app and there won’t be an iOS variant? regardless, happy to know there’s an app coming sooner than later and look forward to being able to easily browse Lemmy on my phone again.
this is great! i saw Sync is coming for Lemmy and am looking forward to good apps for iOS. best of luck to you!
is this an issue with the federation of lemmy? or do you think this is a one-off for you?
i’m still wrapping my head around it a bit. i signed up on lemmy.world and it was seamless, but i honestly don’t know the scope of lemmy, how far it goes, or if i should have signed up on a different instance.
editing to add: i found this post and thought it might solve your issue? https://lemmy.world/post/335116
i did this with a couple magazines and they’re sitting as ‘subscribe pending’. how long does that usually take?
Others don’t realise you don’t need to have an account on an instance to access it lol.
this, i think, is going to be the biggest hurdle for getting people to join the fediverse. we need seamless ways to view and subscribe to magazines on other instances than our own. either that or we need one to get big enough that it simply eats the smaller instances.
when i was a christian there was this story that would be told that went something like this:
“one day a kid was caught by their parent doing something they knew they weren’t supposed to do. it was just a small thing with no real consequences, but it was against the rules of the house and therefore the kid was being disobedient. when the parent confronted the kid about the behavior the kid argued that it was harmless and that it was ok. the parent, seeing an opportunity to teach the kid a lesson, said ‘ok’ and left. several hours later the parent called the kid into the kitchen where they’d made brownies. the parent offered the kid a brownie who readily accepted. as the kid reached for a brownie the parent stopped them and said ‘oh, but first you should know, theres a small piece of cat poop in there, but it’s ok, it’s just a small piece and i put it in that corner over there’. the kid reeled in disgust and said they didn’t want the brownies anymore. ‘why?’ the parent inquired, ‘it’s just a small piece and won’t hurt anyone as long as they stay away from that small corner’. the kid, then realized the importance of obedience in every way.”
total bullshit story, but like all christian bullshit there’s a kernel of truth in there. one small nazi ruins the whole batch of brownies.
i had to leave to take my dog to the vet… what’d i miss?
