There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice π.

Depends on the old person, not the app.
define 'old'. I'm 40 and I'm fine with blorp π
Blorp dev here. Let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks for using Blorp!
using blorp on a piefed instance on android, so let me know if you got any questions haha
I often run into pictures not loading, but I always assume it's because of my privacy anti-tracking App (Rethink DNS) or it's because as it said before Piefed isn't totally compatible with Lemmy (or blorp? idk where it said that during my account creating prozess), so I'm fine so farβοΈ
Edit: Thanks for your service β€οΈβπ₯
If you ever wanna dm me a specific post to debug, feel free. Itβs always easier to debug with real examples instead of making guesses. But it could definitely be a dns thing. Generally speaking, if you see the post working on another Lemmy/piefed client then itβs a blorp bug that should be fixed.
Blorp seems to work well.
Blorp is great and leading the way on integrating new features, but without "mark as read on scroll" I'm stuck in Voyager. I can't re-skim past the same 20 articles every time I open the app.
Blorp dev here. I can probably implement read on scroll soon. I just added the βno subscribed in all/localβ filter that voyager has. Voyager has some really nice filters that Iβm not opposed to implementing in blorp. Just let me know what youβre missing.
Hi Blorp Dev! First of all, I love what you've done with the app!
Re: read on scroll, that is the singular most important feature to me - glad to hear you're working on it! Following that, the second most used feature the "hide read" button as a means of cleaning out my feed occasionally (a perfect pairing with #1).
At this point everything else is just muscle memory I will need to retrain - you seem very open so I'm sure I'll reach out once I get settled in :)
To post in Voyager:
- go to the community you want to post in
- click the three dot menu icon in the top right
- choose "Submit Post"
wait is jerboa being discontinued?
It doesn't seem like it? I see no mention of this on its github
Same. I poked around, couldn't find any mention of it.
I've had a popup a couple of time when logging in that said Android is going to be requiring app developers to have some sort of validation or certification in the future, and Jeroba's devs were refusing.
oh, that's googles developer verification. they want to close down android so google has a monopoly on what you can install.
that applies to quite a lot of stuff beyond just jerboa.
I don't think that there's a lot of difference in difficulty of use among clients. Some have a lot more settings than others, but using out-of-box settings should be fine. Honestly, most of the barriers to use that I see are kind of intrinsic to the Threadiverse (like needing to know how to write references to users and communities and what a home instance is and all that). They aren't really client limitations.
Jerboa is developed by the Lemmy developers. I'd be surprised if it is being discontinued. It had a commit an hour ago.
I use Eternity on Android, which is on F-Droid. It's not getting new development, but it hasn't had problems that I've run into.
Last I tried, it was still rougher around the edges than Eternity. but Interstellar can do all of Mbin, Lemmy, and PieFed servers and has support for a number of platforms. If I weren't using Eternity on Android, it'd probably be my next stop.
I think the easier app, is to just use the browser.
Why does everything need to be an app?
