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.

Wow that’s really interesting.

Well it’s open source, so whenever there’s demand someone will fork and maintain it, if the original team ever leaves.

Which App are you using?

Is this a bot?

Nice. Is there a GitHub link anywhere? I’d like to use that in my App. I was looking to implement trending communities literally the other day lol.

Good idea. I’ll put that on the roadmap for my Lemmy app.

You could make like a circular shape on the screen with numbers correlating to the speed on different angles. Then maybe add some rectangle which points at the current speed and effectively changes the angle when the speed changes.

Oh wait…

No. The ads from brave itself are only on new tabs and notifications.

This should be the community icon.

I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.

You already have 13 on your comment. You’re like a lemmy celebrity now.

What is it like being famous?

Don’t trust the dudes telling you to chmod 777 everything.

I’m a FSE and I use GitHub copilot and Perplexity. I wouldn’t want to code without them anymore.

I want to get things done (especially when I’m at work) and not spent time reading docs or having 20 tabs of stackflow open. I’ve had enough of that lol.

I think everyone here knows copilot but perplexity is a lot smaller and newer. It’s basically like chatgpt but faster and it googles stuff, giving sources for each claim that I can read for myself.

For example, for my latest project I decided to give tailwind a try and instead of having to look through the docs for every little thing I just ask perplexity and it sums it up for me, even giving examples.

And I use copilot a lot for mundane tasks, for example when I write an API that takes an object of type Foo, Copilot auto Fills making variables and checking each for nulls and then I use that API in the frontend copilot already knows what I’m about to do and auto-fills the fetch.

That’s probably the cbat dude after his gf left him.

I’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.

But perhaps they’re just a douche.

I think at some point I’m just going to accept that I can’t detect all image types and call that a feature lmao

I’m making an App for Lemmy and I’m planning on adding that feature. I also want to make it so you only have to register once and the App can register you to all the instances you choose automatically.

Edit: The Webapp is Nemmy, also the Community [email protected]

Edit2: Please note that Nemmy is early Alpha, so not really useable as a daily driver yet.

Edit3: Changed Community link to proper format

I would also like to add that there are PWAs (Progressive Web Apps).

PWAs can be installed on most devices and share even more similarities with native apps (Native app = usually installed through app store). For example installed PWAs can be viewed in Fullscreen or work offline, even though they are still technically a webpage.

So the advantage here is that you don’t need to use an App Store to have an app installed on your phone.

And the main disadvantage is that the PWA can’t access most of the device’s APIs, that you could access through a native app. This means worse performance usually, no support for theming beyond dark/light (like Material You), no good access to on-device databases etc. This is also the reason why most apps aren’t PWAs.
