v1.9.13 fix PieFed
PieFed was broken if you
- Block a person
- Block a community
- Moderate a community
That has all been fixes in v1.9.13
Next up!
- Here’s an early preview of the search overhaul I’m working on
- Make Blorp more accesible
Give those a try, and let me know if you like seeing early previews like that.
I’m trying to formulate a long term plan
- Lemmy V1 is going to ship later this year. I suspect a lot of clients that aren’t maintained are going to break. I would like to get Blorp to a place where I can be a home for all those new users.
- Anyone here who’s first language isn’t English? Interested in Blorp being translated into your language?
- I have no idea how to market this app. I’m estimating I may have 400ish users. I honestly have no idea. Could be much higher or much lower. My marketing mostly consists of me annoying people on Lemmy into using Blorp. At least that’s how I percieve it, and I cring a little at myself.
- I have no idea how to build out a team, but if you have any skills that you feel could contriute to this project, please don’t be shy. I would like Blorp to be bigge than myself.
Soo I think I just found another Piefed bug. The Blorp community when using a lemmy account:
I do like the search overhaul, however the comments in the preview are way to small to be useful. I would maybe just hide them from the preview to make it more simplified, or maybe make the expandable (though that might make it to cluttered for a preview)
My native language is German and I'd be happy to help translate, though I personally just use all my apps in English as it is my preferred language for anything digital.
I also wanted to suggest updating the community description with the links to f-droid, google play and github
Btw where do you prefer getting bug reports/feature request?
If you’re interested in why
PieFed plans on pruning some stuff from their API responses to cut down on size. Looks like they return community.banner from but maybe prune post.community.banner. Lemmy doesn’t do this, so whenever we see post.community we can assume it’s up to date. But with PieFed, we have to be more careful as it can return only a subset of the data about the community.Done, removed comments from search. Good call
Would you be interested in being a moderator for this community? Otherwise I can update the sidebar
Feedback is fine wherever. If I forget about something, feel free to message me again. But GitHub issues are less likely to get lost as I have to close them. Matrix is nice for things that require a lot of back and forth.
Banners are working thanks. I'd be happy to be a mod of this community.
A few more thoughts:
I noticed there are embeds for arte.tv (example: https://blorpblorp.xyz/home/c/mediatheque@feddit.org/posts/https%3A%2F%2Ffeddit.org%2Fpost%2F17170531) However they only work seem to work when using a lemmy account. On lemmy they work but they autoplay, which is kind of inconvenient. To disable this in the iframe the src url should have "?autoplay=false" instead of "?autoplay=true"
I noticed that loops embeds don't play in blorp but rather just take you to loops.video. Is this a bug or intended? For me it works either way, but it just seemed unintended
One feature I'd like to see is a way to see up and downvotes separately. This could either be implemented like in Voyager where there is a setting and it shows them directly, or like in piefed where you can see them while hovering over the vote count (which I think is the cleaner way)
I think Tessearct proxies requests via a backend, but I would have to double check. We could do this, but I’m trying to avoid setting up any sort of backend. Idk how much pull we have with Loops, but maybe we can ask them to setup a way to embed videos.
As long as loops play in the apps I don't think it's a problem as otherwise your using a browser anyways
I'm in another European country and I can reach arte fine, but maybe outside of Europe they are locked indeed
I checked the arte faq:
Thanks!
