Why Aren't There More User Customization Options on Lemmy?
  • What app are you using to access lemmy?

    Boost doesn't have it for comments, but I can easily filter out posts with any word in the title.

    Too many messages from comments
  • Not from the app. It's a setting readily available on boost for reddit, missing entirely from boost for lemmy (please, correct me if I'm wrong, I checked everywhere).

    I'm not familiar enough with lemmy to tell you the why. May be instance specific? May be Lemmy specific? May be planned for a future version? Dunno.

    What's your favourite F-Droid app?
  • OsmAnd for obvious reasons.

    Breezy weather, cause goddamn is it nice to have an actually good weather app that doesn't want the most bullshit permissions that a weather app shouldn't ever need access to.

    Image Toolbox - it's pretty nice.

    Cool Reader - dead project, it's successor KnownReader isn't on F-droid, but it doesn't matter much. I still haven't gotten completely used to known, cool works perfectly fine and it has been my e-reader of choice ever since the j2me days.

    [Feature request] Disable or auto-collapse inline images.
  • I concede, their worst feature is new.reddit, but Firefox for android implemented full addon support a few months ago, a workaround before that and I don't even remember how long tampermonkey has been in the recommended list, so I have no interaction with that trash. Any other little annoyances, like breaking up comments to recommend you posts have been trivial to circumvent.

    [Feature request] Disable or auto-collapse inline images.
  • Major? Nah. But I would've preferred it if the feature was never implemented in the first place, so I'd love a setting to de-implement it.

    Ruben isn't your run of the mill dev. His track record for implementing requested features is long. Why not make the request and see what happens?

    Edit: Besides, my most used apps are, according to Nova, Boost and Boost. Discontinued boost doesn't have the issue and he's probably never going back to it even to fix what little things Reddit broke. Inline gifs used to be a planned feature, though and he'd have already implemented it if not for Reddit's fuckery and you'd see the exact same post on the subreddit. Continued boost has it, so you see it here.

  • Coming over from boost from reddit, which only shows gifs in comments as a small square (tappable to show the .gif), I am absolutely heartbroken to see that Lemmy boost actually supports them. I've never wanted to see a reaction gif in a comment. Never will. It's IMO the worst feature Reddit ever implemented and something lemmy should've never copied.

    I'd greatly appreciate it if there was a setting to show inline stills as the target link, given that they're sometimes useful and relevant to the discussion, and a setting to either show in comment .gifs as a little square/target link. Even better would be the option to treat comments with .gifs in them as if the user was blocked - i.e. not show them at all.

    Mint is up and running!
  • I see. Just checked their site. It appears that we still need the OSBS if we want automatic updates.

    That is, if the method still works. I'm way overdue for actually sitting down and playing a game.

  • What's going on with Lutris and Mint these days? Still need the Debian ppa from OpenSuse or did they start officially supporting it again?

    Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article)
  • Good question. Should be. Stuff as seemingly simple as converting a couple dozen text documents to pdf requires it if you don't want to sit around for an hour, clicking away. Many such examples.

    [Bug] Clicking replies from your inbox that lead to a deep comment thread break the context lines
  • Both long press and tapping the address in the popupp, and clicking the link you posted leads me to the same thing as in the screenshot I posted.

    I am on boost 1.0.12 (15) from GPlay

    Edit: I can open them /c/ tapping its name in the post and find the May 19 thread, and open it. No /u/Baku, no "calculator" to be found. Can do a screen record if wanted .

    Edit 2: <img>

  • Oh, that makes sense, thank you. I'm really happy with mint. Pretty sure switching to the nightly repos got me most of what I need, for the rest there's PPAs. Rolling release sounds tempting sometimes, trying out Plasma on a distro that supports it is also tempting, but so far I can't be bothered. Mint seems to just work. :D

  • Dunno, but in every forum I've looked, people say not to use it, but let the updates go through the package manager. Sometimes even on threats of FUBARing your system. Could be that all these people are giving old info that's not true, but I never tried it - don't wanna go on the forums and start the thread with "I explicitly did what people say not to. How fix?"

    Stack of floppy disks: Am I a joke to you?
  • Not old, either. My old desktop that I gave to my younger brother has an optical drive. Whenever I have spare money laying around to build and a place to put a desktop, it's going to have an optical drive. Not having one, at least somewhat reachable makes me anxious. I use it probably less than once a quarter, more like twice yearly, but when I need it, I need it.

  • Can I update it from the inbuilt update tool in Firefox?

    Universally regarded as a bad idea on Ubuntu based distros as far as my research goes.

    Probably a PEBKAC issue...

    Staying on the OTB repos in LTS distros and then complaining about software being slow to update is like staying on the OTB mirror, and then complaining that your download speeds suck.

    I'm a Linux noob through and trough, use Glorious Mint, but like... How to get a newer version of VLC, than distributed by upstream is probably the first thing I figured out how to do.

  • Every other setting in theme > customise colours gives the ability to input any hex value, other than primary and toolbar text. I'd like to change the tb text to a shade of grey, instead of b/w, and the primary colour to a shade of green not available from the default selection. Is it possible that full customisation be implemented for these two settings?
