Thanks!

Swiping to go back should be something that’s configured in your operating system. For example, on my Android phone, I can swipe from either the left or right side of the screen, inward, and it will take me to the previous screen. On the upcoming iOS version, you can swipe from the left side of the screen to the right, and it will take you back one screen.

Why is it that this got the most upvotes, compared to the more genuine comments in this thread? :)

Here’s Rust:

fn main() {
    println!("Please and Thank You");
}

Do programming languages count? :)

Here’s Go:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Please and Thank You")
}

Since you encountered the issue prior to the recent maintenance update (which was 2 days ago), then we can at least rule that out as the cause. That doesn’t really narrow it down much though; it could be any number of issues, both on the Mbin side or the Lemmy side.

Thanks for the report again, and feel free to mention it if you ever have the same thing happen again.

I tried to reproduce by creating a post and comment with my lemm.ee account and then replying to that post with my kbin.earth account, but the other comment was still there.

I went through the past 12 hours of the posts you’ve commented on and verified that the local number of comments (on kbin.earth) did indeed match up with the original server’s number of comments.

Just to make sure, you’re seeing this issue through the Mbin web client (https://kbin.earth/), not the Interstellar app?

Also, if you try to go back and view the same posts you were seeing the issue on, does it look like the issue is still present or not?

Thank you for reporting this. Would you be able to give a specific example so I can better understand what you mean? Are you saying that after you made a comment on a post, your comment (and other people’s comments) did not display in the post until someone else replied to you?

Yeah, I’m not sure why that’s the case. Just another one of those Mbin quirks.

I was able to make a microblog post just now: https://kbin.earth/m/random/p/300143. Are you searching for random@kbin.earth? If so, you will need to search for random instead (since it’s a local magazine).

Thanks!

The major change to the PieFed side is that the spacing issue for PieFed comments has been fixed (more about that here). The PieFed API is still considered “alpha” by the PieFed developers (rightly so, as it’s missing many vital aspects), so in turn, Interstellar needs to treat it as an alpha feature (the main PieFed instance doesn’t even have the API enabled). But, even while the PieFed API is in alpha, we will do our best to support as much as we can (even with the API restrictions).

On a side note, I was happy to see a PieFed developer (or admin?) make a contribution to the app (JollyDevelopment)!

Just a small ask, but would you be able to update your cross post? I edited the original like 3 minutes after I posted it.

Big thanks to @olorin99 btw for practically making like 60% of the whole release!

Thanks! You’re fast :)

Interstellar actually does support Lemmy as well, unless you mean other apps.

I’m the developer of Interstellar, and I am actually from the US. iOS support is something I’d like to add, but is not the priority. @[email protected] made many good points about it not catering towards FOSS projects, but I’d also like to add, it costs $100 every single year in order to have an Apple developer account, which is required if you want to publish anything to the Apple App Store. Additionally, Apple’s very expensive hardware is required in order to build and release any Apple software, which I do not own.

All that to say, I’d like to support iOS and macOS platforms, but Apple makes it extremely difficult (and costly) for that to happen. Why should I have to pay $100 every year in order to publish a free app that I’m not even making any money off of?

Once you do get your new magazine set up and have a few posts going, you could also try posting in [email protected] to try and attract some attention.

Sorry, but you’ll have to create a new magazine for that. The fediverse protocol relies heavily on the names of actors (like usernames or magazine names) and you can’t just simply change the name. I could manually edit the name in the database, but it would still appear as a new magazine to all the non-kbin.earth servers and I’m not really sure what other side effects it could cause.
