That last bit looks like something you should send off to a place like 404 media.

Isn’t ghost more of a Wordpress alternative? And calling it a substack alternative is trendy.

Lame. I’ve used this feature a lot. It feels like such a basic thing to include.

SharePlay is a standard feature in Apple devices, and it handles it. But only in supported apps.

The pandemic showed how nice such a feature can be for a lot of people.

People underestimate how more RAM can be more power usage.

I guess when I complain, I’m not really talking about hosting at all. I’m talking about things being written in stuff like python, with web UIs instead of native software.

I miss native software. And native software could be placed on a server. I prefer to run a Mac Mini for my home server, because I can use as many native apps as possible. Along with the all the other web-interface-based scripts and things.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Anyway. As someone else pointed out, it’s strange for me to be posting these lamentations in this community. I don’t mean to throw shade or talk shit.

So I’ll leave it there.

That’s fair. Ran across it in All.

I wish more software wasn’t “hosted” these days.

I miss app ass apps.

Don’t mind me. I’m just feeling old.

If I’m understanding you correctly, you are talking about how the Home feed, All feed, etc does not save your scroll position when you leave them. When you go to the top level of the app.

I think this is because the app always refreshes the current state/order of the feed when you return to it. I looked around the settings and I don’t see an option for this.

This sounds like a feature request. It seems like a grace period would do the trick.

I’d make an issue on GitHub or maybe a post on https://lemmy.world/c/voyagerapp about it.

One thought tho, have you tried swipe gestures to go back and forth instead of your back button? It’s difficult to accidentally go back twice when swiping. In case you’ve never done it, try swiping from outside the screen in.

I know it’s not for everyone. And apologies if I’m over explaining swiping.

Hell yeah, Voyager. 🤘

In some spaces, that term is becoming really dehumanizing. People use “bot” to label anything they disagree with.

People have used the word “thread” on Twitter for at least a decade.

🧵(1/12) I’ll explain:

Fruit? Really?

Harsh, and not what people wanna hear. But correct.

Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

For point one: Not everyone is into boosting or retweeting. Some actually find it a bit obnoxious.

Some people I might enjoy finding to follow, friends, community members, etc, might not be ones to post anything boost worthy.

For the other points, I assume these are just artifacts of Mastodon’s federated nature? Not sure exactly.

These sorts of platforms are not designed like a Facebook profile.

If other federated services gain dominance, they will go the same route. And due to the same pressures. (Spam, bad actors, misbehaving servers, etc)

We already see defederation drama.

It’s the best PWA ever made, to my knowledge.

Voyager is premo.
