The GitHub for Memmy shows the last commit was a month ago. That’s not “abandoned” for an open source personal project, but it definitely seems to be on the developer’s back burner right now.
I like supporting smaller projects, but Memmy’s just gotten outpaced by other recent clients. I’ve switched to Voyager and really like it. I’ll come back to Memmy once it’s getting active development again.
Just checking in to say I got it working here. I have a bog standard lemmy.ml account and it was just repeatedly giving me incorrect login errors until I removed the account and re-added it. Once I re-added it everything suddenly started working as expected again. So if anyone is still unable to log into lemmy.ml after updating, that seems to be the path forward. Just remember, Remove is sliding left on your account name. Not the same as Account Deletion!
(BTW, the Remove vs Delete UI is pretty obscure and very terrifying. Hiding the option to Remove behind a slide feature and leaving the nuclear option out in the open is… not ideal IMHO. I personally think you should have 2 buttons visible if you’re even going to implement permanent account deletion from an instance at all. Did not check whether there are multiple “are you sures” on the Account Deletion one, but I sure hope so!)
Right now there are no apps for kbin. There was one (Artemis) that was in development, and the developer had expressed early on that she was open to making a multi-platform app that supported kbin and lemmy.
I do not know if that is still in the cards as there has not been an update on Artemis for a while now.
As others have mentioned, amazing progress so far. Really cool to see how quickly this was stood up (and re written even as I understand).
Something to consider, iOS has some translation API which works on device so it’s fairly fast. It would be great if posts in other languages could be translated manually, or automatically (with an indication that this post was translated).
If it was that easy, then I would be fine, but there are plenty of SFW posts in communities that use the NSFW tag as a meme/joke, and I am fine with that.
There are also several other instances catering to other languages than those that I speak, and sometimes they clutter my feed, the lemmynsfw instance is however the most prevalent that I have noticed.
I am also sorry if this is an issue with the instance my account is on (zemmy.zip) and not with Memmy, I am still quite new to the feddiverse. So if this post is wrong, please let me know.
Only instances running an unstable build right now can block instances, if it’s even working. Luckily you’ve asked about it when the release is right around the corner. So you’ll be able to do this soon. So long as your admin updates.
I am on Memmy on iOS, and the feature is not working completely, I just had to block another lemmynsfw post despite having the filter inplace for weeks.
Thank you again for your work on this. I’d wager that a vast majority of Memmy users are grateful for what you are doing and understand that there are going to be issues as this app is being developed.
Unfortunately, the negative comments stand out more than the positive ones and they hurt more than the positive ones help. That is just how we humans tend to be wired. All I can say is “thanks” again and I appreciate all the unpaid work you have done for us. I try to report any issues I find and provide details to help you reproduce.
To all the understanding users out there, please try to do the same. In case this is helpful, here is a list of the things I do and try to provide when I report a bug:
-Make sure I’m updated to the latest release. When reporting, note the release version and my OS version.
-Try to figure out how to reproduce the issue. If you can, give step by step instructions on how to trigger the issue. If you can’t, try to provide any relevant details on when the issue tends to crop up.
-provide screenshots when helpful.
-if it isn’t 100% obvious based on the issue, explain why it’s a problem and what behavior you are expecting from the app.
Edit: also, try to reproduce the issue on accounts from more than one instance and, if relevant, see if the issue is actually occurring when using your account in a browser or other interface. Sometimes the issues we experience have nothing to do with Memmy. By reproducing on more than one instance, you are more likely to be reporting a Memmy issue rather than a localized problem outside of Memmy.
First, I have a Giphy implementation in the works to add to Memmy. In terms of privacy, I have taken steps to mitigate tracking that comes along with the use of a Meta product while also helping to allow users to communicate with more than just text.
Giphy has a SDK already made for React Native. Unfortunately, it has some “analytics” wrapped in. The API itself can be used without those analytics, but that comes at the cost of the almost certain tracking they do with just the searches and your IP.
As a result, this is what I came up with:
You submit a search for a GIF (think Discord’s GIF search
The request is sent to a Memmy server which then processes the request for you
You receive a response with both the direct URL to each of the GIF results as well as a proxy URL. All of the results are displayed to you through the proxy.
When you select a GIF, the direct link is added to your post or comment as an image embed.
In a future update, there are plans for Lemmy to offer built in proxying of images. Hopefully this will be available soon. However if it is not, for 30 minutes the GIF you added to the comment will continue to be proxied through Memmy so as not to create an immediate link to you creating the request for the image.
This is somewhat similar to the Signal implementation of Giphy some time ago. I’m focused on cleaning up some other issues right now, but I’d like to add this in sometime in the near future. Will keep you posted.
