Blorp dev here. This is an interesting feature. I probably won’t add it now, but I could probably be convinced if you can make a good case.

BUT SLEEPY JOE WANTED FREE TRANSGENDER FOR IMMIGRANT DRAG QUEENS IN COMMUNIST SCOOLS

I’m guessing you’re subscribing to more niche communities. For example, I really enjoyed r/homekit, r/WLED, and r/TvTooHigh on Reddit. I think some of those exist on Lemmy, but they are very very inactive compared to Reddit. But if you look at more broad topics like !news@lemmy.world or !technology@lemmy.world, those are way more active.

There are a few exceptions. Lemmy seems to attract lots of Linux and Star Trek fans. I consider those topics more niche, but here they are very active topics.

I know this is easier said than done, but I really want the niche communities here to be more active. If you see a community missing, create it. If you see the one you’re looking for but it’s inactive, post to it.

I’m the developer behind Blorp. The trouble with the threadiverse (a term that refers to Lemmy and PieFed) is it’s not tuned by big cooperations to get you addicted. That also means you gotta dig a little more to find the content you’re looking for. I’m happy to help direct you if you have questions!

Thanks for using my app!

Blorp dev here. Thanks for the mention. If you happen to try my app, please don’t hesitate to reach out with feedback!

I’m working on expanding PieFed support as quickly as possible. The main things I’m missing are creation of poll posts and creation of event posts. You’re already able to view polls and events in the app. PieFed doesn’t yet have a way to pull the list of your subscribed feeds, but that will be added very soon.

If anyone wants to make a good argument for why X feature should be prioritized ahead of Rexit, I’m happy to reprioritize my work accordingly.

Not fediverse, but Nebula is good

Ok, but like honestly if GitHub kicks off my project then I can just move to another hosting platform. I would be mildly pissed that I lost the stars oh my repo. And then I would be minority inconvenienced that I have to find a new place to run my CI pipeline. I feel like there isn’t that much vendor locking with GitHub. Nothing they do is that unique.

I can guarantee you that Blorp has the best support. The Blorp dev will read any and every post/comment that mentions “Blorp”.

Source: I’m the developer lol

Blorp dev here. Let me know if you need anything!

Sorry I kinda chaotically respond to everyone and sometimes I mix up someone who has already left feedback. I forget where you left your feedback, but just make sure it’s in GitHub (if it’s not already) and it’s much more likely to get addressed. I’m going to try and burn through the entire backlog of issues this month.

How can I make Blorp so incredibly good that you don’t have to juggle multiple clients? Unless you enjoy juggling clients, in which case more power to ya.

They needed to be changed 5 data breaches ago. Thank you Equifax :)

Haven’t been, but I’ve heard good things!

I would guess that Boston Massachusetts has the best bike lanes in America, but there are many American cities I haven’t been to. I have bike lanes in my town, but nothing like I saw in Boston. That city takes biking very seriously.

Nah I got that part. Just not the best user experience if it gives an error even if it works. But I guess it’s low priority since you ideally only login once.

Was it a one time fluke or does it give the same error if you login again?

Blorp dev here. As of right now, images should not be cropped. Theres always a chance we encounter some weirdness with reading the aspect ratio of an image, but if everything goes correctly, it shouldn’t crop. A few people have asked for a max height for post thumbnails so they don’t take up too much vertical space, but as of right now, that hasn’t been implemented.

Do you mind opening a GitHub issue? You can just make a single issue with that checklist. It’s just easier for me to track what needs to be done in GitHub instead of random Lemmy/PieFed comments. PieFed hide read should be an easy fix.

Ahhh I forgot about Fuji’s film simulations. But I still can’t imagine you spend more than $5k on a camera and use jpegs.

Most “lossless” compressions (e.g. PNG) wouldn’t work here, because they throw away a lot of extra data you get raw from the camera sensor. Hence photographers using their camera’s “raw” file type to retain as much data as possible. A PNG may capture everything you as a consumer sees in an image, but raw file types will retain extra information you can use when editing a photo.
