"Free" as in you can bring your own LLM / provide API keys for popular LLM Providers. Basically as free as I can make it with no budget.

 

Accidentally posted in here instead of [email protected].

Btw you can check that out as well. It's similar to Duolingo but for any subject you want - ideal for Students.

Out of interest, which places in Europe?

Yeah you can land anywhere on earth but there isn't much going on, just a big desert.

Details are in the game story.

 

Nemmy went offline recently due to it exceeding the usage limits after moving it to a free tier due to high costs.

It will go up again soon, but until then it'll stay offline, I just can't pay that much money again for a sideproject.

I'll adjust some things, so it'll stay online in the future and won't exceed any limits.

 

After all this time, I finally found and fixed the issue.

Browsers affected were at least the chromium ones.

 

Comments, Posts and other stuff should load now correctly again.

Also, I scrapped the full-on poll support and moved back to the simple upvote/downvote graph feature.

There are mainly three reason:

  1. I want to prioritize more important features
  2. The announcement post had a 0 score for most of the time, just made it to 1 recently. So there isn't much demand I think.
  3. While the database & backend was set-up, I think it would be smarter to first add this feature to Lemmy itself.

Let me know if you have any feeling about this decision.

This new iteration of the Poll feature will include custom Polls.

Right now Nemmy only supports Yes/No Polls that use upvotes and downvotes.

The new system will allow users to specify their own poll with their own options.

Here is the link to the post in the screenshot:

On nemmy

On Lemmy ui

Edit:

I almost finished the backend for handling polls (see updated screenshot). The numbers you see in the screen are already from the new database which Nemmy will use going forward for all extra-features that aren't built into Lemmy.

I will also use this new database to build my own Image store integration with which will make uploading images directly finally possible.

Also, this post has currently 2 Upvotes and 2 Downvotes.. I guess polls as a feature are controversial?

Maybe I should make a poll asking if you guys think polls would be a good feature :D.

 

Note: Nemmy will automatically upgrade your account by logging you out. Yeah I know it's not a pretty solution but it should work.

The backend is done, so everything that worked before should work now + some features using the new system.

New feautres:

  • Account copy

Works by adding a new account with the same username as one you already added but with a different instance

  • Instance hot-swap (

In the user menu there's a new dropdown on the instsance name where you can change the instance in real time

  • New default instance

The default instance has been changed to lemmy.ml due to the massive downtimes on lemmy.world.

This does not affect you if you're logged in, which will override the default instance

To build an IOS app you need an Apple Developer Account, which is a subscription service for 100 bucks a year.

It's similar but not the same for Android. With Android you don't need an Account to build the App, just one to publish it on the Play Store - which also only costs 25$ one-time purchase.

Also, I can understand the financing on for-profit Apps like Sync. Shit costs so much money the dude breaks profit with just one person paying premium.

For hobbiest it's on the expensive side. I mean it's probably the most expensive part of the pipeline for most hobby Devs for a way overpriced service. But I get it if you really want to publish your Lemmy App on the IOS store and have the money to do it, just wondering if these people have any plans of breaking at least even via donations or such.

I'll try to migrate Accounts but be prepared to be logged out again :((.

The new system will allow users to have multiple instance logins under one account - this will make it possible to seemlessly switch accounts when one or more instances go down.

Use case example:

You browse Nemmy with your lemmy.world account when suddenly lemmy.world goes down, then Nemmy can automatically switch you over to your synced lemmy.ml account, which has the same subscribed communities. Now you can continue browsing your feed, posting Posts and Comments - as if lemmy.world was still up.

Basically this is the next step of the instanceless featureset of Nemmy which takes over instance handling which is currently handled by the user.

 

With every new App published on IOS I wonder again how the financing works. Just through donations, or do you "take one for the team"?

 

They would be displayed in a censored version of course.

The current behaviour is just not to display them.

Vote by upvoting/downvoting. Graph support currently only in the Nemmy App.

Good idea! I'll incorporate something like this in my own Lemmy App.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I'm actually trying to solve this issue on my own Lemmy app. It automatically switches instances when the requested one is down. Works only in the Feed right now and, of course, accounts are still instance-bound - but I will fix that soon.

This enables you to quickly create a custom feed by selecting which communities you'd like to see posts from.

Edit: It's 1am but I've got a working prototype now:

Had to make my own Lemmy API basically since there is no API to get Posts from multiple communities.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It also works in Nemmy.

Disclosure that I'm the main Nemmy dev :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Off-topic question, but where can you see the stats?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Wow that's really interesting.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I always wonder when people say something like this. I also develop a Lemmy app myself and don't understand this point, like are you afraid people will complain about your code cleanliness or commenting techniques?

I mean what extra work is there really? Moving secrets to environment variables is annoying, I get that at least.

I mean no offense to you at all, really, but when I check out other Lemmy apps I don't even bother with closed source ones since I can't possibly know if you just steal login information. Especially since this is so immensely easy with Lemmy.

Again, I'm not saying you do these things but it's always better being able to check yourself, you know?

Well it's open source, so whenever there's demand someone will fork and maintain it, if the original team ever leaves.
