I couldn’t figure out how to post on voyager. Jerboa said it’s being discontinued.
I think the easier app, is to just use the browser.
Why does everything need to be an app?
Haven’t had much issue with Summit.
Depends on the old person, not the app.
I don’t think that there’s a lot of difference in difficulty of use among clients. Some have a lot more settings than others, but using out-of-box settings should be fine. Honestly, most of the barriers to use that I see are kind of intrinsic to the Threadiverse (like needing to know how to write references to users and communities and what a home instance is and all that). They aren’t really client limitations.
Jerboa is developed by the Lemmy developers. I’d be surprised if it is being discontinued. It had a commit an hour ago.
I use Eternity on Android, which is on F-Droid. It’s not getting new development, but it hasn’t had problems that I’ve run into.
Last I tried, it was still rougher around the edges than Eternity. but Interstellar can do all of Mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed servers and has support for a number of platforms. If I weren’t using Eternity on Android, it’d probably be my next stop.
define ‘old’. I’m 40 and I’m fine with blorp 😅
Blorp dev here. Let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks for using Blorp!
using blorp on a piefed instance on android, so let me know if you got any questions haha
I often run into pictures not loading, but I always assume it’s because of my privacy anti-tracking App (Rethink DNS) or it’s because as it said before Piefed isn’t totally compatible with Lemmy (or blorp? idk where it said that during my account creating prozess), so I’m fine so far✌️
Edit: Thanks for your service ❤️🔥
If you ever wanna dm me a specific post to debug, feel free. It’s always easier to debug with real examples instead of making guesses. But it could definitely be a dns thing. Generally speaking, if you see the post working on another Lemmy/piefed client then it’s a blorp bug that should be fixed.
Blorp seems to work well.
Blorp is great and leading the way on integrating new features, but without “mark as read on scroll” I’m stuck in Voyager. I can’t re-skim past the same 20 articles every time I open the app.
Blorp dev here. I can probably implement read on scroll soon. I just added the “no subscribed in all/local” filter that voyager has. Voyager has some really nice filters that I’m not opposed to implementing in blorp. Just let me know what you’re missing.
Hi Blorp Dev! First of all, I love what you’ve done with the app!
Re: read on scroll, that is the singular most important feature to me - glad to hear you’re working on it! Following that, the second most used feature the “hide read” button as a means of cleaning out my feed occasionally (a perfect pairing with #1).
At this point everything else is just muscle memory I will need to retrain - you seem very open so I’m sure I’ll reach out once I get settled in :)
To post in Voyager:
- go to the community you want to post in
- click the three dot menu icon in the top right
- choose “Submit Post”
wait is jerboa being discontinued?
I’ve had a popup a couple of time when logging in that said Android is going to be requiring app developers to have some sort of validation or certification in the future, and Jeroba’s devs were refusing.
oh, that’s googles developer verification. they want to close down android so google has a monopoly on what you can install.
that applies to quite a lot of stuff beyond just jerboa.
It doesn’t seem like it? I see no mention of this on its github
