How many milliseconds pause should I wait before I start speaking? Or does it depend on culture/other factors?

Blorp can also be installed on Android via Google Play or F-Droid, and there is also a web version blorpblorp.xyz.

Blorp dev here. If you happen to be on macOS, there’s macOS build of Blorp. I have to test if the PWA is installable. I might need to make some changes to get that working.

The main reason I haven’t worked on that is there aren’t really any install only features you get. Technically there are some images you can only share via the iOS, Android, and macOS apps. But other than that, you will get 99% of the Blorp experience using the web version.

Thank you for using my silly app :)

Blorp dev here. I’ve always said, if you want something right between Bloat and BREXXTODON, Blorp is probably what you’re looking for.

I’m feeling very burnt out. Lemmy is kinda an endless stream of political doom and gloom. For context, I’m in the US and already stressed out by our political situation. But I don’t come here to see more doom and gloom. It’s getting to the point where I think I need to get off for my mental health.

Then there are all the people who if you don’t agree exactly with their opinion they downvote you to hell. You have left leaning politics but not my flavor of left? Downvote! You hate enshitification and big tech privacy practices, but you use a single piece of software that isn’t FOSS? Downvote!

It’s so exhausting. I absolutely hate Reddit but I miss going on there and just laughing at how someone’s TV is too high. I miss laughing at how some restaurant serves food of shovels instead of plates.

And that’s not even getting into the lack of content. That part I understand requires users like myself to be as active as possible. But it’s hard being active when I feel so burnt out from the other stuff here.

Tbh, idk if these issues are specific to Lemmy or just the internet as a whole. I can only speak to the slice of the internet I find myself in. But I just wanna see people that are excited about things: photography, 3d printing, weird keyboards, etc. And that exists here, but it’s drowned out by all the doom and gloom.

Do you use Matrix? I have a group chat with a couple of the other frontend devs if you wanna join the discussion there. Just DM me on Lemmy/PieFed and I’ll add you.

We setup this GitHub to write the spec, but I haven’t made much progress yet. I’m trying to close out a few other features (e.g. post/comment moderation, PieFed feeds, PieFed polls, PieFed events, etc). But I think I’m pretty close to this filter engine being my top priority.

I’ve been kicking around this idea for awhile where Blorp has a filter engine. You can define and combine a bunch of rules like post body contains text and community name does not contain. The rules are bundled into a “file” and given a name. E.g. no US politics is a file you can subscribe to. The file can be auto updated if you choose to subscribe to updates. Blorp would come with a bunch of predefined filter files, but you can create and share your own.

I really think this would be a killer feature, but there is a little complexity in implementing it. I also want to collaborate with Interstellar devs so you can use the same filter files in either app. Anyway, I’ve been procrastinating building this about will take me a couple months.

But what do you think?

Is there a specific instance that’s missing that you want to use? You can input a custom instance durning login in the search input.

I’m not sure I understand the keyword filters without fully blocking part.

If you use an 3rd party native iOS or Android app, leave them a nice review! Also star any related projects on GitHub or codeberg.

Blorp dev here. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your PieFed experience even better! I’m launching support for PieFeds multi communities feeds very soon. Stay tuned.

Probably Microsoft: You’re hired! Go work on GitHub

Context

Yeah it’s pretty much just me. Except for the app logo, which was done by @lay@piefed.social

I think what’s happening is the app is refreshing in the background, and it’s not smart enough to tell the difference between initial launch and background refresh. I would either have to think of a solution to tell the difference, or have a toggle to disable automatic refresh entirely, so you always have to pull to refresh. But even I solved the refresh issue, I think it will still throw you to the top of the feed :/

This might be tricky then. I’ll do some poking around and see if there are any obvious performance improvements I can make. But no promises

Is it worse on posts with more comment? What happens if you open a post with 0 comments?

Anything specific or just everything? Admittedly, I don’t spend enough time testing Blorp on older phones.

What was the dealbreaker with Blorp and how can I make it better?

The steaks are very high. I could lose access to my media library for 1-2 evenings (the time it would take me to switch to Jellyfin).

But the trick is to keep the code good enough that it runs, but bad enough that you have job security
