Limbo app for Lemmy

limboapp 8 points 3 years ago

Oh this is so unexpected. The excitement I felt at seeing Mlem move forward so quickly with so much support from its users was one of the things that inspired me to believe in Lemmy and to start working on Limbo. Thank you for your incredible work, and well done for having the insight and courage to step back when you needed to do so. Please take some time to look after yourself.

Haha, I’m also stealing ideas from beta testing Mlem!

Haha, that's very nice of you, but all the credit should go to the original devs at https://github.com/LemmurOrg/lemmur. They've not responded to direct contact but perhaps some donations might attract their interest (they have a donation link on that page).

I've had great fun working my way through the code getting it ready to release, and am enjoying reading other people's perspectives on how the app is working out for them, and that's reward enough for me!

Hey, thanks for jumping in so quickly!

I saw that sign-in issue earlier but thought I had dealt with it, so thanks for letting me know.

Good point about the edit button too.

re visibility: if you click on the dropdown at the top of the home tab you'll see that there's an "Everything" category that means that it collates posts from across the various servers listed below, even if you don't have an account there. I think that this is a nice feature especially if defederations continue, but see that it's confusing as presented right now.

To be honest, that's low on my priorities at the moment, but once core functionality has been shown to be in good order, we can start thinking about the best approach to such features.

Yeah I think there's some UI thinking to be done. I just want to ensure that the functionality all works as intended first!

Hmm not seen a double post before. Thanks.

This is the best place to get my attention!

Filter request understood and sounds doable.

I'll be opening the GitHub repo up once I'm comfortable that the app is robust. In the meantime, this is the best place to get my attention!

Oh I'm sure Mlem will catch up very quickly 😀

Yes it is and the code will be released once I'm comfortable we've got a robust app :-)

It appears to work on Android too, and once I'm happy that this beta hasn't shown up any fundamental problems I'll look at that side of things.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not a Discord user so I'll stick with this community for the moment. If that changes, I'll be looking for advice on how to proceed 😉

I just had a look at the AMOLED mode and see what you mean. I'll have a play about with that theme and see what I can do.

I understand the point about sorting. I'm still trying to get my head around it so keep watching!

What happens if I try to comment?

Hmm, I wonder if that's what causes the logon popup. I'll have a look at that tomorrow.

I agree that some of the UI is confusing. I'm quite wrapped up in it now so I'd forgotten which bits only make sense once they make sense, so it's good to get this feedback.

I'm so amazed that the developers of Lemmur stopped developing it just last year. I tried contacting them but nothing, so I hope that this fork highlights their great work.

All content except the title of posts marked NSFW now requires a click-through by default to view. This can be changed in Settings > Appearance.

Note that you may not even see NSFW posts depending on your server settings.

Good point. Thanks for bringing it up!

Yes, it's a shame that Lemmur got abandoned just as Lemmy's time was coming.

That's great, thanks for pointing me to him, I'll get in touch!

Same here, I feel very odd getting praise for what is essentially their work!

Lemmy.ml updated their API version last night, so some features are a little tricky right now. I'll have a closer look.
