Really liking this update a lot, the community jump feature is great! Been using it so much I’ve noticed myself tapping the screen at the top now as a muscle memory haha! Two quick notes on it, it might make sense to have a small UI element (like a pulldown arrow) to show future users that it’s there and would it be possible to enable it when reading posts as well as browsing communities?

Also, I think it’s awesome that you’re trying to avoid subscriptions. Might be worth a small blurb about that along with a “donate if you can but don’t worry if you can’t” type of thing somewhere in the app and we’ll help you keep the server going :) Even just on the “About” page in the settings, it was the first place I looked for it.

Really been liking Arctic! The app is very fast and the dev is very responsive.

Some offer very low prices, HostHatch is one example. I’ve been using RamNode for years and while they’re a little more average for pricing, I’ve had no issues. Never used HostHatch, so maybe someone who has used it can comment on the quality of service.

Arctic supports it. See [email protected]

No, it won’t work if it’s deployed wrong. Is this a shared host or a VPS service? If it’s a shared host and you’re just clicking a button to deploy a software package, it that host’s job to make that button work right.

That sounds like it’s a commercial service. They should have a support option you can ask. It sounds like their deployment scripts are broken. Ansible and Docker are the easiest ways to run Lemmy, I’m guessing these guy’s scripts are just grabbing the docker images and launching them for you.

You probably forgot this line: sudo chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs

Starfield does this to some degree: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-names-list

Nice! Two hours should get you a decent smoke flavor for sure

Agreed, even the web UI is sorely lacking. A few ideas as places to get started:

• Community Modlog available in client
• Remove post / comment
• Ban user (with checkbox to remove all posts)
• Community search box (used to check duplicates and certain bad words) (also mod action should be able to be taken from search results)

More advanced options that would be awesome to have and would give features even the web UI is missing:

• Thread nuking (recursive delete) as some threads devolve into totally toxic chat wars and I just want to remove a comment and all under it (the starting point could sometimes be a few replies in and not necessarily a top comment)
• Search lists with regular expressions where I can one button run an advanced search list on a community I moderate with the matches highlighted within the comments or posts returned
• Push notifications for reports

Looks great! How long did you smoke them for?

No worries, always get excited when I see someone mention Arch. Been running it so long, it’s always fun to run into others using it outside the Arch community

Love Arch Linux! Been running it for over a decade now.

It has an adapter to plug into the CCS2 standard-compliant connector, right? Otherwise you’d be left out of the vast majority of the charging network.

I seriously wouldn’t buy a car at this point if it didn’t have CarPlay or Android Auto in it. Navigation with Google Maps or Waze is vastly superior to anything a car company is ever going to come up with (props to Apple Maps too for making big improvements in the last several years). Integrated music experiences where I can directly see my Spotify playlists or favorite tracks without touching my phone is just something I’m used to and couldn’t go back. Having a voice assistant that works from Google / Apple (I know Siri is rough sometimes lol) will always be better than any voice controls a car company comes up with. Oh, and huuuge points to Overcast for just reliably being the best podcast app for many years and having a super easy to navigate CarPlay app. I’d lose all of that and more if there was no integration with my phone and we went back to the awful bluetooth pairing that we had before with terrible UI design and no support for third party apps.

At this point, that’s more important to me than whatever engine they’ve stuck in it. Just give me good mileage, pass inspection and last at least 150k miles and we’re good. I’m not drag racing so I don’t need a rocket ship lol

That’s awesome! I think there’s a newer generation of CarPlay from Apple that lets the auto-makers use the Apple UI for everything, including the spedometers, climate and other gauges. If that data can be integrated into third party apps, I think developers would come up with some really cool things.

I really wish my Hyundai would let me do that, maybe I should look into Nissan for my next car haha. How have you been finding the Leaf? I’ve only heard good things about it from others.

Two small other things also came to mind. I mentioned above that the “open in browser” button opened the federated link instead of the local instance link. I also noticed the same is true for the “share” button on the posts. It might make sense to have this be something that the users can set in settings: “Use federated links for sharing and opening posts in Safari” or something.

Also, I found a bug in the “top” view for comments. For some reason looking at this post makes only 18 of the 22 comments on it visible when sorting by “top”. But both “new” and “hot” will show all 22 comments. I couldn’t find any others where this happened, so this must be hitting some weird edge case. Here’s the federated link and here’s the link on my instance, I tied both and saw the same result both with a local account and my LW account. I don’t think anything around the API changed for 0.18.5, so I doubt the recent update is what’s causing an issue.

Oh nice, that interface looks really slick! Definitely really like seeing the extra information in there. The undo option will definitely be useful for accidental taps and save a trip to the web interface.

No worries, the pace you’re turning out new features is awesome and I’m sure the admins of various instances would love some admin tools on their phones. There’s not a ton of admin settings, at least in the web-UI. I’d imagine the option to defederate from an instance by showing an item in the dropdown list from a post/comment/report might be something they’d use that isn’t in a web UI. They don’t do it often, but I could see the need for a quick action needing to be taken: EG defederating from an instance with CSAM. Also, they should be shown the option to make new admins when tapping a user as well as a site-wide user ban option. Mods see ban from community, but admins can see a ban from site option. Also purging content is another admin option. It’s a step above a mod removal and totally deletes the data from the database as well as images. Should be shown as a context option for comments, posts and communities.

I’m not super up to speed on how transferring mods works. Is that just changing the order they’re in on the mod list? Sweet, looking forward to seeing the peek option in the update!

Fair enough, it’s awesome that we have so many great choices right now! The apps are all maturing and gaining features and in a year I’d bet we have several very solid options to choose from.

I do keep my fingers crossed that Christian will release an Apollo for Lemmy someday.

No, in Bean. I believe they also work in Lemmios
