HFY = Humanity Fuck Yeah! A place for writers to post their stories about humans being awesome. Many of them were sci-fi space operas which is what I loved.

Oh neat, didn’t know it had this feature, thanks!

I’ll bite the bait and ask you to explain how Starlink satellites contribute towards the space junk problem without having to reference astronomy or bringing up you-know-who’s name.

I have mine configured like this to mimic the RIF layout

From a technical standpoint, I can’t see media-heavy social media in the format of Facebook lasting too long in a federated environment considering the costs involved to maintain the server instance. Trying to do that while being free is absolutely unsustainable. Another shift in resource management would have to happen before platforms like that would be inexpensive and scalable.

Currently, Lemmy instances are slowly and steadily growing with each user interaction within, and between instances. Most shared content is link aggregation meaning minimal server resources. But resource usage goes up much faster when images, or even videos are uploaded to be shared. This format will only grow more expensive over time, and definitely won’t last in the current format.

Ah, updated Connect and can confirm it behaves normally, sorry about that! (Thought it had already updated)

Still loving all the updates and thanks for the amazing work!

It’s not really a bug, just wonky behavior. When viewing a large image that requires zooming, moving around in the image seems to make connect close the image. So I end up trying to view the image several times, or get frustrated enough to download the image just to view it 🥲

Oh hey you added in the comment stuff! It’s great for an initial release, though it definitely does need some refinement to be easily useable.

• Comment feature buttons
  • They mostly work well, and look great! But tapping a comment does push the entire comment down as the buttons on top appear. Versus the ideal behavior of the comment position remaining absolute, and the buttons appear relative to it
  • Also, on narrow screens, the Next button does get pushed off a little bit
• Done
  • Functions as expected, hides the extra buttons from the active comment
• Hide
  • Correctly hides the comment when tapped
• Show
  • This shouldn’t need to exist, as tapping on a hidden comment should automatically show it
• Prev
  • Correctly activates the previous top comment, and shows the selected comment features. UI moves the selected comment just off-screen, so you have to scroll down some more to see it, even if it was already on-screen
• Next
  • Same issues as the Prev button, comment selection is correct, but off-screen
