  • Why is it that this got the most upvotes, compared to the more genuine comments in this thread? :)

  • Here's Rust:

     rust
        
    fn main() {
        println!("Please and Thank You");
    }
    
      
  • Do programming languages count? :)

    Here's Go:

     go
        
    package main
    
    import "fmt"
    
    func main() {
        fmt.Println("Please and Thank You")
    }

  • Interstellar actually does support Lemmy as well, unless you mean other apps.

  • I'm the developer of Interstellar, and I am actually from the US. iOS support is something I'd like to add, but is not the priority. @[email protected] made many good points about it not catering towards FOSS projects, but I'd also like to add, it costs $100 every single year in order to have an Apple developer account, which is required if you want to publish anything to the Apple App Store. Additionally, Apple's very expensive hardware is required in order to build and release any Apple software, which I do not own.

    All that to say, I'd like to support iOS and macOS platforms, but Apple makes it extremely difficult (and costly) for that to happen. Why should I have to pay $100 every year in order to publish a free app that I'm not even making any money off of?

  • Ah, I see.

    It just feels like there's already quite a few of them: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], and now this one [email protected].

    I saw your comment about the lemmy.zip mods though, so I understand you moving away from that as well.

  • How many fediverse communities do we need, lol :)

  • Hello!

  • Interstellar is also available for desktop platforms (including Linux and Windows) if you'd prefer to try it there instead (check the GitHub page for info).

  • Also want to mention @olorin99, as well, for helping test and implement PieFed support in the app!

    As always, let me know if you run into any issues or want to make any suggestions.

  • I'll just say, even if 95% of the API is the same (which I am almost sure it's less than that), it will still need very intentional effort in order to implement the support. Interstellar already had support for Lemmy, but it took us several weeks to get to the point we are now with PieFed support, and that's all with a code architecture that makes it easy to add new platforms to support (due to both Mbin and Lemmy support previously).

    All that to say, it likely will not be as easy as it seems to add PieFed support.

  • My Reddit account is u/jwr12135.

    And yeah, it's just us two admins (nobody else).

  • Ah, yes. I misinterpreted the context.

  • I'm sure you know, but technically, Microblogs are still considered "posting to your profile". It's just that Mbin also happens to categorize those microblogs into a specific magazine, either based on tags or manual placement. They still display in your profile just like normal. Additionally, if you view those Mbin microblogs from a Mastodon server, they will still appear as if the user "posted to their profile". All Mbin is doing is assigning the Microblog a general categorization.

  • There will be soon :)

  • Porkbun and Cloudflare are the only one's I use anymore. Great service and unbeatable prices for both.

  • Hearts?

  • Upvoting should be your default. Boosting is more like a "retweet", where you are publicly reposting something on your profile.

    Release v0.8.0 · jwr1/interstellar

    Cross-posted from: https://kbin.earth/m/interstellar/t/980482

    Warning: Due to the extra permission needed for bookmarking, all your Mbin accounts will need their oauth clients regenerated. To do so, for each Mbin server that you have accounts for, you will need to sign out of all accounts (including guest), which will trigger Interstellar to delete the related oauth client. From there, you can sign back in as usual. Alternatively, if you don't mind, it would probably be easier to just clear all your data from the app instead.

    New

    • Add copy-paste option for desktop oauth login (in case the system has issues launching the browser).
    • Add notification control support for magazines, users, and posts; which was introduced in Mbin 1.8.0.
    • Add bookmarking support for posts and comments. Saving posts/comments is available on Lemmy, and bookmark lists are available on Mbin (introduced in Mbin 1.8.0).
    • Allow adding alt text on image

    Solved: Ran into Google Play's new Child Safety Standards policy

    Solved: If any app developers run into this issue, I recommend setting the app's category to Communication (instead of Social), then you will no longer be required to declare a CSAE standard for your app.


    I was trying to release an update for Interstellar (my Mbin/Lemmy app) today, and I ran into Google Play's new Child Safety Standards policy that requires the following if your app is in the Social category:

    Interstellar developers needed! (Mbin/Lemmy app made with Flutter)

    Hello all, and happy New Year!

    If you haven't heard of Interstellar before, it's an Mbin and Lemmy app (available on Android and Linux). It includes many interesting features such as Settings Profiles (easily change a group of settings at once), a Markdown Editor with automatic (and manual) draft support, Push Notification support through UnifiedPush, content filter lists to hide (or warn about) content that matches from a list of words (including different match modes, such as Whole Word and RegEx), Microblogging from Mbin, and much more. I've also worked on an upcoming feature that will allow you to migrate your magazine (community) and user subscriptions & blocks between your signed-in accounts. This includes some interoperability between Mbin & Lemmy accounts as well!

    Interstellar still has much to be worked on though, and it is starting to be too much for just one person. So, I am putting out this request for any Flutter developers who wo

    htmx 2.0.0 has been released!

    htmx.org </> htmx ~ htmx 2.0.0 has been released!

    htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext htmx is small (~14k min.gz’d), dependency-free, extendable, IE11 compatible & has reduced code...

    Copied from linked post:

    I'm very happy to announce the release of htmx 2.0. This release ends support for Internet Explorer and tightens up some
    defaults, but does not change most of the core functionality or the core API of the library.

    Note that we are not marking 2.0 as latest in NPM
    because we do not want to force-upgrade users who are relying on non-versioned CDN URLs for htmx. Instead, 1.x will
    remain latest and the 2.0 line will remain next until Jan 1, 2025. The website, however, will reference 2.0.

    Major Changes

    • All extensions have been moved out of the core repository to their own repo
      and website: https://extensions.htmx.org. They are now all versioned individually and can be developed outside of
      the normal (slow) htmx release cadence.
      • Most 1.x extensions will work with 2.x, however the SSE
