I'm ever hopeful we might have a Lemmy Is Fun app one day,but there's been so much chatter about boost I'm excited to try it.

They should just rename it to Lemmy is Federated. It's the same initials!

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This is such a good idea!

I think in one of his closing posts the dev for RIF said he was developing a Tilde app

Hmmmmm. I've not tried Tilde yet. I just went all in on lemmy during the rexodus. I'll have to check it out.

It's tricky to try out since it's invitation-only. As far as I understand they want to focus more on long-form content and high-effort posting, so it's not really a Reddit alternative per se.

As for Lemmy is Fun, it doesn't look particularly likely, though talklittle (the dev) at least made a Lemmy account , so your prospects are at least better than fans of Baconreader. Maybe the future chances are at least non-zero, provided Lemmy continues to grow.

I wouldn't get my hopes up, though.

I'm gonna bust once sync is out.

I'm currently testing out connect and it seems a lot like infinity. Swipe to go from post to post and a lot of other customization. I didn't like liftoff because of it but that might change. If boost can do this I might try it.

I really, really like connect. But I'm in a sub for a word game, and the only way to spoiler the screenshots (so that I can read the clues, but not get the answer) is to NSFW tag it. Connect still shows the unblurred images, even if I choose to have blur turned on. I'm on Jerboa until that gets fixed. Since you use connect, have you found a problem like that with yours?
