The regex redirect feature is another massive pro. I hope they bring it into Orion as well.
I already use Stop the Madness for this, and probably will continue to as it’s a more global solution, but having it built right into the search engine at least shows they’re taking real steps to hand control back to the user.
My go-to is to ask what they like to do in their spare time.
A lot of the time you’ll get answers about how they have none or how it’s filled with chores, but you can always redirect and say, if you suddenly had a bunch of free time just for yourself, and you couldn’t use it to work, what would you fill it with?
In my mind the latter gets you down to what brings them joy, and in some cases how they want to see themselves, which can tell you a lot about a person.
Even if they did (they won’t), they can pry my mini out of my hot, irradiated hands.
I think the best we could hope for is a simple firmware update, assuming enough of the right people make noise about it. I’m sure Apple would much rather we all just bought new phones though, so they won’t do anything unless they have to.
Oh I didn’t mean to imply otherwise - Overcast is awesome.
I guess I worded my question poorly. I’m more asking if there’s any way to block trackers without blocking the entire podcast.
The stream/download just hangs, or errors out because it “cannot connect to creep.noteventhehost.fm” or whatever - just won’t load at all until I unblock and it’s able to do its dirty work.
Not sure if this is even within the capabilities of a client… I’m starting to think not, and that I’ve asked a stupid question lol
If you live near water, kayaking can be an incredibly immersive pursuit in nature that doesn’t really tax the body (unless you want it to)
Trail running is another one of my favourite things to do, but while much safer than MTB still can have some risks… minimal though, comparatively speaking
You can filter out instances with Memmy now, via Settings > Filters
Yeah for me, the only draw back to reddit is in its history. There is a wealth of knowledge in those archives, and when I’m looking for balanced and useful answers from actual people (without affiliate links or bot-generated seo bs, or being “marked as duplicate” of another post with 13yr out of date answers lol) it was the best source for the longest time.
Used to be, anyway.
We’ll get there, we just haven’t had the time yet.
When I do open an r/ link that answers my question now, I’m doing it with their tracking, “features” & ads fully locked & blocked, then dipping right back out again. They really ruined a good thing.
That 🤑 emoji’s a bit on the nose though, isn’t it
You can buy Gavin a coffee via the project github page ☕️
Dracula’s here! Now I feel right at home.
…though the mentioned ability to write my own theme is reeeeally tempting
Memmy does support dynamic type, but yeah it’s a feature from apollo that I miss too.
IOS Settings » Accessibility » Display & Text Size » Larger Text
You can bump global text size up with the slider at the bottom of that screen without enabling the Larger Text toggle
I like my system font size to be on the smaller side though, so being able to customize by app is a big QOL upgrade
Dude you are absolutely killing it.
Do you sleep??
Memmy just keeps getting better. Thank you for all your hard work.
I don’t want to pile on, you guys are doing a great job
Immediately for me though, since you asked:
Missing from both:
Memmy was easily my app of choice, but these are some big improvements so it’s between these two for sure now.
Each has important features the other doesn’t, but both are steaming ahead at a record pace. I know all about how the tiniest feature can take ages to code properly, so I’m really appreciative of all the work being poured into making lemmy more friendly.
Especially for us who had apollo set up just right for all our own personal idiosyncrasies lol
Thunder is too far behind to compete right now, but damn if the front runners aren’t setting the bar high
You know… I’m not sure I’d recognize my own voice if I heard it
