Idk. There’s a lot of Lemmy clients and many of them are really good. When I started, Voyager didn’t have good support for larger screens, but I think that has changed. I do think I have the best account switching. Voyager will reset the current navigation when you change accounts. Any pages you have open will be cleared. Blorp does not do that. Blorp is also cross platform like Voyager.
But honestly if you prefer another app, you should use it! All the frontend devs are super cool!
Yes! I think I might need Mbin to implement the resolve_object endpoint first. I don’t think they have that currently. Basically I need some way to look up posts by activity pub id. There’s also a strong possibility I won’t implement all of Mbin’s functionality. I might just implement the parts that are most similar to Lemmy. But if you’re looking for one app to login to Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin, I would like to be that app.
Thank you! It’s so validating to see people actually host my project. I’m so grateful for all the hard work instance admins put in. Please don’t hesitate to open GitHub issues if you have feature requests or find bugs. Expect PieFed could break as they push breaking API changes, but I’ll try and resolve issues quickly.
Edit: I misread your comment. I see you pointed out that it doesn’t encode the em dash into the comment itself.
I think that might just be how Lemmy’s default frontend renders markdown. The trailing slash thing happens at the API level. But a quick test shows submitting a comment with two dashes sends back a comment with two dashes.

I was today years old when I learned Lemmy doesn’t let you have links without a trailing slash

/s, but not really
I guess my point is that historic data won’t cease to exist unless all the federated instances deleted the data or also shut down. And links would only be broken if you are access the data via lemm.ee. But if you’re accessing data via one of the federated instance’s APIs, I think you should be good? But I’m still relatively new to all this federation so I would appreciate if someone smarter than me chimed in.
Sorry this might be obvious, but even if an instance disappeared with all its communities, wouldn’t those communities and their content still exist as copies to other federated instances? My understanding is federation means I’m going to copy all of your content to my instance. So I’m assuming that means even if your instance stops existing, all those copies on my instance still exist. Or am I missing something?
I’ve only been on Lemmy for a year, but this feels pretty significant. How do we prevent this from happening to other instances? Or do we not see it as a huge problem if we assume most active users will migrate to other Lemmy instances?
Also side note, I think Voyager defaults to lemm.ee.
Is that a positive or native opinion of PieFed? I’m genuinely curious since I’ve never really scrolled through PieFed
It has taken off exponentially. It’s exponentially annoying that’s it’s being added to literally everything
Ohhh I did see that but the name threw me. Didn’t realize that’s the official app
Oops I must have misread the price. Tbh it’s the subscription fatigue, but I’m a developer myself $12.99/year is very reasonable.
I looked at Infuse, but as soon as I saw it was a subscription I decided no. They have a lifetime option but I don’t trust those anymore. If it’s good software with a one time fee of $40 or less, I’m there, but anything $10/month or $100 lifetime is a dealbreaker for me.
Edit: I totally misread the price. It’s a way more reasonable $12.99/year not what I said above
Yeah. I love open source, but people kinda assume you have unlimited time to sink until this stuff. Apple has done a great job selling an intuitive experience that I need for the non technical people in my household. That being said, I don’t understand why AirPlay doesn’t just fucking work. Siri is also garbage.
And if I have to listen to one more person try and explain to me why I have the wrong router, mdns, multicast, IPv6 settings, etc, I’m gonna lose it. One person is like, “buy Uniquiti, that plays nice with Apple Home and never use your ISP router”. The next person is like “you idiot, why would you think Ubiquiti + Apple would ever work stick with your IPS router”. Even if they’re right, it’s a failure of Apple to design a system that requires an IT person to setup.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
Really it comes down to I distrust Google more than Apple. But I recognize there are a lot of issues with Apple, and I get the cognitive dissonance on my part combining open source with Apple. But I’m happy Apple has Android as competition.
…I also may have purchased HomePods and I do use the Apple TV + HomePod audio setup. Not messily the best value but it’s decent audio with minimal clutter/wires. I’m pretty happy with the Apple TV experience so far, but if Apple starts enshitifying (especially if they ever plaster their devices with ads the way Roku has) I’m gone immediately.
I’ve been a Plex user. Honestly it was mostly because I chose Plex years ago before a lot of the recent controversy. Plex always seemed like it had a nicer interface, though I never really gave Jellyfin a try. As of late, Plex has started to add a lot of bloat to their interface, so at this point Jellyfin’s UI might actually be a pro.
That you! Idk how to explain the fediverse to my mainstream social media friends, but I think a good step 1 is giving them an intuitive front end.
I would love to eventually onboard people to Lemmy and PieFed through Blorp, but that’s a whole other challenge. Idk how to explain the fediverse to people. In a perfect world, I think people who stumbled across Blorp would figure it out with no prior Fediverse knowledge. Idk how to get there.
