You can actually fast travel directly to cities, even when you're in a different system.
Yeah you can land anywhere on earth but there isn't much going on, just a big desert.
Details are in the game story.
I just wish there was an option to lower the resolution. I've got a 2080 and also got 30fps, because 4k.
Nemmy ist actually hosted on vercel :D. The traffic blew the Analytics limits of my account.
Just scrolled past this on All.
Americans should be contained be the SCP.
Sure, 90% of you guys over there are racists and have a huge racism problem but don't go apply your racist shit to everyone internationally.
I'll continue having Xi an Pooh synonymous because I'm not racist and can actually do things in life without trying to make it about ""race"".
P.S. God, where did Americans even get the idea that Asians look yellow?? Most of my family is Asian and is black. I know Asians who are paler than me (German).
It's like I'd color my face blue and someone calls me a racist, discriminating penguins.
Nemmy is temporarily down due to usage limits
Nemmy went offline recently due to it exceeding the usage limits after moving it to a free tier due to high costs.
It will go up again soon, but until then it'll stay offline, I just can't pay that much money again for a sideproject.
I'll adjust some things, so it'll stay online in the future and won't exceed any limits.
Oh, yeah. This feature has been scrapped. See the main Community post about it for further information.
I finally fixed touch scrolling!
After all this time, I finally found and fixed the issue.
Browsers affected were at least the chromium ones.
Should be fine with compose. There's a prebuild image hosted on github.
Creator of Nemmy here, lmk of you have any questions.
Also, keep in mind that Nemmy isn't like the other Apps as it's focused on providing an "instanceless" experience. It's also probably the least-developed app from the examples you've given since it's just me doing everything. Although it already has couple unique features.
Fixed issues with loading stuff & scrapped proper poll support
Comments, Posts and other stuff should load now correctly again.
Also, I scrapped the full-on poll support and moved back to the simple upvote/downvote graph feature.
There are mainly three reason:
- I want to prioritize more important features
- The announcement post had a 0 score for most of the time, just made it to 1 recently. So there isn't much demand I think.
- While the database & backend was set-up, I think it would be smarter to first add this feature to Lemmy itself.
Let me know if you have any feeling about this decision.
Proper polls support
This new iteration of the Poll feature will include custom Polls.
Right now Nemmy only supports Yes/No Polls that use upvotes and downvotes.
The new system will allow users to specify their own poll with their own options.
Here is the link to the post in the screenshot:
Edit:
I almost finished the backend for handling polls (see updated screenshot). The numbers you see in the screen are already from the new database which Nemmy will use going forward for all extra-features that aren't built into Lemmy.
I will also use this new database to build my own Image store integration with which will make uploading images directly finally possible.
Also, this post has currently 2 Upvotes and 2 Downvotes.. I guess polls as a feature are controversial?
Maybe I should make a poll asking if you guys think polls would be a good feature :D.
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" (?).
New auth system is going online; You will be logged out
Note: Nemmy will automatically upgrade your account by logging you out. Yeah I know it's not a pretty solution but it should work.
The backend is done, so everything that worked before should work now + some features using the new system.
New feautres:
- Account copy
Works by adding a new account with the same username as one you already added but with a different instance
- Instance hot-swap (
In the user menu there's a new dropdown on the instsance name where you can change the instance in real time
- New default instance
The default instance has been changed to lemmy.ml due to the massive downtimes on lemmy.world.
This does not affect you if you're logged in, which will override the default instance
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.
Another authentication rework coming soon
I'll try to migrate Accounts but be prepared to be logged out again :((.
The new system will allow users to have multiple instance logins under one account - this will make it possible to seemlessly switch accounts when one or more instances go down.
Use case example:
You browse Nemmy with your lemmy.world account when suddenly lemmy.world goes down, then Nemmy can automatically switch you over to your synced lemmy.ml account, which has the same subscribed communities. Now you can continue browsing your feed, posting Posts and Comments - as if lemmy.world was still up.
Basically this is the next step of the instanceless featureset of Nemmy which takes over instance handling which is currently handled by the user.
Do you guys really pay 100$/y to build Apps for IOS?
With every new App published on IOS I wonder again how the financing works. Just through donations, or do you "take one for the team"?
Should Nemmy display deleted Comments and Posts?
They would be displayed in a censored version of course.
The current behaviour is just not to display them.
Vote by upvoting/downvoting. Graph support currently only in the Nemmy App.
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.
Would you want Nemmy to take twice the data and be twice as fast?
About
I have an idea to make loading almost everything very fast but it comes at the cost of having to load everything double.
Voting:
Use twice as much data but be much faster: upvote
Only load everything once but be just as fast as every other lemmy app out there: downvote
I recommend viewing this post on Nemmy since it has a poll feature (WIP)
Polls
I'm currently working on making Polls possible.
Right now they only work with upvotes/downvotes and a Chart is automatically displayed when "[POLL]" is the first thing in the post title.
Instance blocking is Live!
Users can finally filter out lemmynsfw.com (or any other).
Feel free to try it out.
Would you (later on) use a Cloud saving feature?
I could set up my own database in the cloud to save user settings and such in the cloud, which would sync across devices but I'm not sure if anyone would actually use it.
Just upvote/downvote this post to make your opinion heard. You can also comment of course.
This question is, obviously, for when Nemmy is out of Alpha.
Dev update #19: Settings, improved UI, Markdown inserts, Compact Posts
Hello again, wow it's been almost a week since the last dev update.
I've been working on a number of things and they quickly started being depended of another, so I decided to give this one some time and push everything at once!
New features
Markdown inserts
The markdown bar thingy now actually works (finally)!
Settings
The Settings backend is done and I implemented a couple of settings for you to try out. Note that they only work when logged in.
Compact Post design
The compact post design has also been added
Better Search
You can now choose between searching for Posts and Communities (Users coming soon). The design has also been improved, the posts now use the standard compact design instead of a custom one.
Fixed login
The login issues should be fixed, but please let me know if you still experience some.
Something to look out for
I had to rewrite a ton of css in this one so there will be some issues related mostly to colors. These issues will get fixed one by one but it's dificult to find them. If you find one of these please let me know.
That's it for today!
Feel free to let me know what you think, I always appreciate feedback.
See you all soon :)
Search Overhaul preview & Compact Post Card
Hey all, I've been working on a new search page which can now finally filter by posts, communities and users.
I'm currently adding infinite scrolling to it.
In the screenshot you can also see the new compact Post card design I've been working on, which will also come very soon together with the finalized settings page.
Stay tuned for more updates.
PS
In contrast to "other" Apps for Lemmy, Nemmy will always stay completely Ad free, privacy-invading tracking free and without overpriced premium features with big profit margins.
Dev update #18: Better Markdown, Inbox v2, Desktop instance sidebar & more
Hello everyone!
As always, all changes are on nemmy.app.
What changed
Better Markdown Support
Nemmy now supports a ton of different markdown options. Here is a Post on Nemmy showcasing the different options.
Better caching & comment caching
Most issues with the SPA post loading mod should be fixed now. Posts now open in a new tab, again, and comments are now cached as well.
Using these new techniques posts and their comments should now load in an instant. But this cache is only used for the last post visited. I did this because I don't want the cache to explode in size.
Improved Design principles
I upgrade the design specs of Nemmy and cards will now look better going forward.
Instance Info Sidebar
The instance info button in the sidebar doesn't make best use of desktop resources. So now, on wide screens, there will be a sidebar next to the posts.
Improved Explore Section
I further improved the design, although it's still not optimal for desktop.
Inbox v2
The inbox page has been improved, now showing the users comment which someone replied to. Users can now also open the comment chain showing only the context.
Comment should load better now
My fight with the damn comment trees goes on.
Work continues on the Bookmarks page
I now removed the extra page and moved the bookmarks to the user profile - like reddit and any other reddit-like app do.
The button is already there but is non-functional as of right now. It only breaks stuff :).
Meta
I've had very little time again over the last couple of days and this trend will continue into next week. So the next update will probably be sometime in the second half of next week.
