There's actually a new loophole where an app called morphe with an extension called patcheddit uses Redreader's (or infinity's, but the dev has to pay for that one so don't use it) api key to get third party clients working. If you want to keep using RIF, see this https://github.com/wchill/patcheddit, I tried it with Sync as a fun test and it worked well. As a bonus, you're less likely to have your account banned as I had mine banned last year for what I presume was using my personal api key to patch Sync, and you also don't need to use the Redreader app directly like many comments are suggesting. I presume what happened and why it stopped working for you is because Reddit revoked api keys for everyone except those who had api keys for bots and things like that. Hope this helps :)

I did it because it is cheaper, lets me learn a bit about self hosting and causes me to have less captchas and less websites blocking me, and its also more resistant to any potential VPN bans (my country's already made social media have age verification, I'm sure they'll come for vpns eventually). You're right that I don't have the benefit of blending in but there's still a lot of other ways you can be fingerprinted so that really isn't a huge benefit.

Definitely Codeberg if you don't want to self host anything

Mine's on 24/7, I feel like it's better to use than not use it. I self host one on a vps over using s commercial one

How about the people that voted for people that weren't Trump?

Simply, no it isn't. I took a look, it's honestly a nice community and doesn't look like "an echochamber of misandry" Saying this as a guy btw

Now that I think about it, having votes shown seperately with hour needing to peek would be better, definitely a lot less confusing for new users and those that don't realise that's something that can be done. I prefer separate votes since it gives a better idea about the post. For example, if a post has a combined score of 1, I would assume that it hasn't had much activity, but if I see it has 15 upvotes and 14 down votes, that's still a combined score of 1, but it is controversial rather than having low activity.

 

I'm suggesting that a feature similar to being able to hover over votes to see the down and upvotes seperately like on desktop be added into the mobile apps. Maybe something like holding on a post or comment's score could reveal a menu with the seperate votes as is seen on desktop? No pressure to do this, just a suggestion :)

I like how it's more decentralised but still feels easy to use, and also has no ads and isn't controlled by companies trying to make money. I also love how it is easy to curate a feed with only content that you want in it, and none that you don't being shoved in by algorithms that collect all your data

Try a different Matrix client like Sable or Commet, they have much better ux than element. Element is honestly a pretty garbage matrix client when it comes to the ui and ux

Yes, Lemming is the term. Now the next question is what to call us piefed users and mbin users

Not sure about chromium ones but it works on all firefox based browsers

I've started using Voyager again after trying out other clients because I love the ui and ux, however, I notice a lot of Piefed features such as cross posts, emoji reactions, flairs, and feeds aren't supported. While it could take a while, I would like to see implementing some of these features explored. Absolutely no pressure to do this and I completely understand if you'd rather prioritise other features, since these can be done from Piefed ui which I use on desktop now.

 

For me personally, I use Blorp on desktop and Voyager on mobile. I've tried a lot of mobile clients but despite lacking a lot of piefed features, I like voyager because of the ui

 

I did already try asking about this issue in !home@lemmy.zip with a response from the instance admin that there shouldn't be any issues, so I'm going to post here in case this is a blorp issue. I've been unable to log into blorp.piefed.zip or blorpblorp.xyz over a VPN, and when I log in and turn my VPN on again posts and other content do not load. The same issue occurs on the mac app. This doesn't happen with my old instance on blorp, the Blorp android app (weirdly piefed.zip logs in and loads content fine on the app), or piefed ui. I apologize if this is an instance issue and something that can't be sorted out here.

Hello, I was trying to login to b.piefed.zip since I used to use blorp on my old instance before i switched here, but i'm not able to login on my vpn, and if i turn off my vpn, login, then turn it back on, posts won't load. This seems to also be an issue trying to login from blorpblorp.xyz. It doesn't seem like this instance blocks vpns as I was able to login via piefed ui and the Blorp android app over my vpn with no issues and everything is loading just fine. I also apologise if this is the wrong place to post since this looks to be the lemmy.zip discussion place, but i can't find one for piefed.zip.
