You can actually fast travel directly to cities, even when you're in a different system.
Yeah you can land anywhere on earth but there isn't much going on, just a big desert.
Details are in the game story.
Nemmy ist actually hosted on vercel :D. The traffic blew the Analytics limits of my account.
Just scrolled past this on All.
Americans should be contained be the SCP.
Sure, 90% of you guys over there are racists and have a huge racism problem but don't go apply your racist shit to everyone internationally.
I'll continue having Xi an Pooh synonymous because I'm not racist and can actually do things in life without trying to make it about ""race"".
P.S. God, where did Americans even get the idea that Asians look yellow?? Most of my family is Asian and is black. I know Asians who are paler than me (German).
It's like I'd color my face blue and someone calls me a racist, discriminating penguins.
Nemmy went offline recently due to it exceeding the usage limits after moving it to a free tier due to high costs.
It will go up again soon, but until then it'll stay offline, I just can't pay that much money again for a sideproject.
I'll adjust some things, so it'll stay online in the future and won't exceed any limits.
After all this time, I finally found and fixed the issue.
Browsers affected were at least the chromium ones.
Comments, Posts and other stuff should load now correctly again.
Also, I scrapped the full-on poll support and moved back to the simple upvote/downvote graph feature.
There are mainly three reason:
- I want to prioritize more important features
- The announcement post had a 0 score for most of the time, just made it to 1 recently. So there isn't much demand I think.
- While the database & backend was set-up, I think it would be smarter to first add this feature to Lemmy itself.
Let me know if you have any feeling about this decision.
This new iteration of the Poll feature will include custom Polls.
Right now Nemmy only supports Yes/No Polls that use upvotes and downvotes.
The new system will allow users to specify their own poll with their own options.
Here is the link to the post in the screenshot:
Edit:
I almost finished the backend for handling polls (see updated screenshot). The numbers you see in the screen are already from the new database which Nemmy will use going forward for all extra-features that aren't built into Lemmy.
I will also use this new database to build my own Image store integration with which will make uploading images directly finally possible.
Also, this post has currently 2 Upvotes and 2 Downvotes.. I guess polls as a feature are controversial?
Maybe I should make a poll asking if you guys think polls would be a good feature :D.
Note: Nemmy will automatically upgrade your account by logging you out. Yeah I know it's not a pretty solution but it should work.
The backend is done, so everything that worked before should work now + some features using the new system.
New feautres:
- Account copy
Works by adding a new account with the same username as one you already added but with a different instance
- Instance hot-swap (
In the user menu there's a new dropdown on the instsance name where you can change the instance in real time
- New default instance
The default instance has been changed to lemmy.ml due to the massive downtimes on lemmy.world.
This does not affect you if you're logged in, which will override the default instance
I'll try to migrate Accounts but be prepared to be logged out again :((.
The new system will allow users to have multiple instance logins under one account - this will make it possible to seemlessly switch accounts when one or more instances go down.
Use case example:
You browse Nemmy with your lemmy.world account when suddenly lemmy.world goes down, then Nemmy can automatically switch you over to your synced lemmy.ml account, which has the same subscribed communities. Now you can continue browsing your feed, posting Posts and Comments - as if lemmy.world was still up.
Basically this is the next step of the instanceless featureset of Nemmy which takes over instance handling which is currently handled by the user.
With every new App published on IOS I wonder again how the financing works. Just through donations, or do you "take one for the team"?
They would be displayed in a censored version of course.
The current behaviour is just not to display them.
Vote by upvoting/downvoting. Graph support currently only in the Nemmy App.
Good idea! I'll incorporate something like this in my own Lemmy App.
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.
It also works in Nemmy.
Disclosure that I'm the main Nemmy dev :)
Yeah true. That is probably the correct way to do it.
Off-topic question, but where can you see the stats?
No, actually. Sorry I should've explained more in the post.
The plan is to always send 2 requests, one with user details (to get upvotes, read posts, bookmarks etc) and the other without any personal data.
The one with a JWT attached to the requests can't be server-side cached, since that would be a security risk.
The one without any personal data can however be cached.
So when I first do a server render of any page, almost all content will be cached and served instantly. Then I do a client side fetch of the same data, filling in user data such as bookmarked posts for example.
Effectively, this will make the time until you see posts and stuff much faster.
About
I have an idea to make loading almost everything very fast but it comes at the cost of having to load everything double.
Voting:
Use twice as much data but be much faster: upvote
Only load everything once but be just as fast as every other lemmy app out there: downvote
I recommend viewing this post on Nemmy since it has a poll feature (WIP)
I'm currently working on making Polls possible.
Right now they only work with upvotes/downvotes and a Chart is automatically displayed when "[POLL]" is the first thing in the post title.
It's in the Settings but the Settings page only works when logged in right now, which will change soon.
If it's not in the Settings just refreshing the page should update Nemmy.
Let me know if that fixes it.
Users can finally filter out lemmynsfw.com (or any other).
Feel free to try it out.
I could set up my own database in the cloud to save user settings and such in the cloud, which would sync across devices but I'm not sure if anyone would actually use it.
Just upvote/downvote this post to make your opinion heard. You can also comment of course.
This question is, obviously, for when Nemmy is out of Alpha.
Hello again, wow it's been almost a week since the last dev update.
I've been working on a number of things and they quickly started being depended of another, so I decided to give this one some time and push everything at once!
New features
Markdown inserts
The markdown bar thingy now actually works (finally)!
Settings
The Settings backend is done and I implemented a couple of settings for you to try out. Note that they only work when logged in.
Compact Post design
The compact post design has also been added
Better Search
You can now choose between searching for Posts and Communities (Users coming soon). The design has also been improved, the posts now use the standard compact design instead of a custom one.
Fixed login
The login issues should be fixed, but please let me know if you still experience some.
Something to look out for
I had to rewrite a ton of css in this one so there will be some issues related mostly to colors. These issues will get fixed one by one but it's dificult to find them. If you find one of these please let me know.
That's it for today!
Feel free to let me know what you think, I always appreciate feedback.
See you all soon :)
Could you try loggin in to https://nemmy-git-big-update-cr4yfish-s-team.vercel.app/auth/login?
It's the preview branch of the new update.
Could you try to log in here: https://nemmy-git-big-update-cr4yfish-s-team.vercel.app/auth?
It's the preview website of the next update.
Hm, thanks a lot for telling me. I will take another look at the login code. Seems to have a couple issues.
Hmm, I have actually experienced this bug myself before. My guess then was that the instance was down at the time.
I wil definitely take another look at this!
Thanks and great work you’ve done so far on the app, it looks so pretty!
Thank you :)
Hey all, I've been working on a new search page which can now finally filter by posts, communities and users.
I'm currently adding infinite scrolling to it.
In the screenshot you can also see the new compact Post card design I've been working on, which will also come very soon together with the finalized settings page.
Stay tuned for more updates.
PS
In contrast to "other" Apps for Lemmy, Nemmy will always stay completely Ad free, privacy-invading tracking free and without overpriced premium features with big profit margins.
Hello everyone!
As always, all changes are on nemmy.app.
What changed
Better Markdown Support
Nemmy now supports a ton of different markdown options. Here is a Post on Nemmy showcasing the different options.
Better caching & comment caching
Most issues with the SPA post loading mod should be fixed now. Posts now open in a new tab, again, and comments are now cached as well.
Using these new techniques posts and their comments should now load in an instant. But this cache is only used for the last post visited. I did this because I don't want the cache to explode in size.
Improved Design principles
I upgrade the design specs of Nemmy and cards will now look better going forward.
Instance Info Sidebar
The instance info button in the sidebar doesn't make best use of desktop resources. So now, on wide screens, there will be a sidebar next to the posts.
Improved Explore Section
I further improved the design, although it's still not optimal for desktop.
Inbox v2
The inbox page has been improved, now showing the users comment which someone replied to. Users can now also open the comment chain showing only the context.
Comment should load better now
My fight with the damn comment trees goes on.
Work continues on the Bookmarks page
I now removed the extra page and moved the bookmarks to the user profile - like reddit and any other reddit-like app do.
The button is already there but is non-functional as of right now. It only breaks stuff :).
Meta
I've had very little time again over the last couple of days and this trend will continue into next week. So the next update will probably be sometime in the second half of next week.
