Arctic Community Notifications And More!
  • 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.

  • Bean or Avelon?
  • Really been liking Arctic! The app is very fast and the dev is very responsive.

  • I rent a vps to run fediverse instances. Here's what I've found
  • 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.

  • Lemmy apps that support mod functionality?
  • Arctic supports it. See [email protected]

  • [Feature Request] Mod Tools
  • One more idea I had, maybe an icon for when the post title and article title don’t match could be displayed next to the title? Like how the baby emoji is displayed next to new users. This could be a feature everyone, even non-mods, would find useful as they’d be able to see who’s messing around with the headlines.

  • [Feature Request] Mod Tools
  • Oh nice, I had totally missed that search in the options!

    Would be happy to help you test out any new mod features or provide feedback on them as they come out.

    [Feature Request] Mod Tools
  • 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
  • [Feature Request] Mod Tools

    Would love to see some mod tools added to the app. Happy to help test and provide feedback on them if needed.

    Is there a sub to ask for Lemmy support that's not part of the official instance?
  • 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.

  • Is there a sub to ask for Lemmy support that's not part of the official instance?
  • 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.

  • Is there a sub to ask for Lemmy support that's not part of the official instance?
  • You probably forgot this line: sudo chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs

    Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X
  • No problem! There’s lots of great apps out there right now, really happy to see such an active community of developers!

  • Smoked Sichuan style ribs done on my Big Green Egg
  • Nice! Two hours should get you a decent smoke flavor for sure

  • Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X
  • Ah, didn’t realize that was a paid feature (already paid so I can’t see what is or isn’t paid).

    I’m not a fan of web apps, they’re much slower than native. Arctic is completely free for all features, so that could be a better choice for someone wanting filters and a native experience. It’s still in TestFlight at the moment, link in sidebar for its community.

  • Europe gives Elon Musk 24 hours to respond about Israel-Hamas war misinformation and violence on X
  • Arctic has separate filters for the post body and post title, which is really nice.

    Avelon has keyword filtering and also supports instance blocking.

    Both have been great!

  • [Feature Request] Mod Tools
  • Agreed, even the web UI is sorely lacking. A few ideas as places to get started:

    • Community Modlog available in client

    Smoked Sichuan style ribs done on my Big Green Egg
  • Looks great! How long did you smoke them for?

  • Can’t purchase Avelon Pro
  • Just curious, has it worked for anyone? I’m wondering if there’s a pattern for people it’s not working for… like maybe all the TestFlight users who migrated back to the App Store version?

    India suspends visas for Canadian nationals as diplomatic spat deepens

    India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens over what it says are “security threats” against diplomats in Canada, escalating a spat between both countries after Ottawa accused New Delhi of potentially being behind the assassination of a Sikh separatist activist on its soil.
