You can actually fast travel directly to cities, even when you’re in a different system.

Out of interest, which places in Europe?

Yeah you can land anywhere on earth but there isn’t much going on, just a big desert.

Details are in the game story.

Nemmy ist actually hosted on vercel :D. The traffic blew the Analytics limits of my account.

When I say it’s a lot less work than making an app from scratch I’m mainly thinking about the UI/UX design which only had to be adjusted in Sync’s case. I do lots of UI design for private projects and work, so I know that it’s a big part of the workload.

his app account for federation problem/features that aren’t implemented in any other app yet

What do you mean? I’m no Sync expert but I did test out the app and didn’t notice any special features. I’m especially interested in instance related tech since that’s kinda the USP of my own App, Nemmy.

Only when working with Swift though, right? I always use React Native for my Apps which can target IOS as well and you can build react native in every environment, I think.

uhhh… I guess so?

My point was that Sync is overpriced, not that devs couldn’t demand money for their work, of course.

Again, this is only from what I heard, since I didn’t use Sync during Reddit times but apparently it was cheaper back then, so he raised the price for switching from Reddit to Lemmy - which I think is overcharging.

Of course it’s more than changing some URL, but it’s less work than actually making it from ground up - for which he used to charge less.

You see my point? Of course you may disagree with me, but I don’t think my point is so outragous that it calls for “insults” (?).

Well I mean he got paid before as well during reddit times. From what I heard the app is basically the same switched to the new APIs.

To build an IOS app you need an Apple Developer Account, which is a subscription service for 100 bucks a year.

It’s similar but not the same for Android. With Android you don’t need an Account to build the App, just one to publish it on the Play Store - which also only costs 25$ one-time purchase.

Also, I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

For hobbiest it’s on the expensive side. I mean it’s probably the most expensive part of the pipeline for most hobby Devs for a way overpriced service. But I get it if you really want to publish your Lemmy App on the IOS store and have the money to do it, just wondering if these people have any plans of breaking at least even via donations or such.

Good idea! I’ll incorporate something like this in my own Lemmy App.

I’m actually trying to solve this issue on my own Lemmy app. It automatically switches instances when the requested one is down. Works only in the Feed right now and, of course, accounts are still instance-bound - but I will fix that soon.

It also works in Nemmy.

Disclosure that I’m the main Nemmy dev :)

Yeah true. That is probably the correct way to do it.

Off-topic question, but where can you see the stats?

No, actually. Sorry I should’ve explained more in the post.

The plan is to always send 2 requests, one with user details (to get upvotes, read posts, bookmarks etc) and the other without any personal data.

The one with a JWT attached to the requests can’t be server-side cached, since that would be a security risk.

The one without any personal data can however be cached.

So when I first do a server render of any page, almost all content will be cached and served instantly. Then I do a client side fetch of the same data, filling in user data such as bookmarked posts for example.

Effectively, this will make the time until you see posts and stuff much faster.

It’s in the Settings but the Settings page only works when logged in right now, which will change soon.

If it’s not in the Settings just refreshing the page should update Nemmy.

Let me know if that fixes it.

Nice! Thanks for testing it out :).
