3·1 day agoIf you ever do find yourself using a second account, I’ve spend a lot of time perfecting multi account on Blorp. Nice if you wanna use Lemmy and PieFed. I’m pretty confident that you won’t find a Lemmy/PieFed client out that that will switch accounts as seamlessly Blorp. For example, Voyager is one of the best apps out there, but it will close any open posts or communities when you switch accounts. With Blorp, you can switch accounts and continue exactly where you left off.

3·1 day agoBlorp dev here. Sorry for the silly name, but I assure you I’ve spend hundreds of hours making Blorp the best app I possibly can. It’s totally free, fully open source, and it doesn’t log any of our data. I would love for you to give my app a try!

Yeah it’s pretty much just me. Except for the app logo, which was done by @lay@piefed.social

I think what’s happening is the app is refreshing in the background, and it’s not smart enough to tell the difference between initial launch and background refresh. I would either have to think of a solution to tell the difference, or have a toggle to disable automatic refresh entirely, so you always have to pull to refresh. But even I solved the refresh issue, I think it will still throw you to the top of the feed :/

This might be tricky then. I’ll do some poking around and see if there are any obvious performance improvements I can make. But no promises
Is it worse on posts with more comment? What happens if you open a post with 0 comments?
Anything specific or just everything? Admittedly, I don’t spend enough time testing Blorp on older phones.

13·4 days agoBlorp dev here. Comment are virtualized. That means anything that isn’t currently in view can get unmounted to keep the comments page super snappy. For small posts, this is definitely overkill, but it means we can smoothly render posts with thousands of comments.
I’ve kinda been waiting for someone to complain about this for me to fix it. What I’ll likely do is implement a custom search box that is compatible with the virtualized comments. I have a lot on my plate rn, but I’ll get this fixed as soon as I have time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Incredible optimization! I don’t think Blorp will ever be able to deliver a web experience as low data as the official UI. However, if you download Blorp (or any of the other apps) then you no longer have to send frontend code over the network. The only data that needs to be downloaded at runtime is API requests. Suddenly the network usage looks a lot more similar to the official UI (though I should test to confirm).

1·7 days agoGood catch! I’ll see if I can fix that in the next release of Blorp.
Edit: on second thought, let me double check what other Lemmy/PieFed clients do. I would hate to encourage users to use a syntax if it looks broken on other clients. In general, if the official UI supports something then we will support it.






















Blorp dev here. If you’re interested in running Blorp as an alternative frontend for your instance, checkout these instructions. Since we don’t yet support all PieFed and Lemmy features, I recommend running it alongside the official frontend for any admin config stuff you need to do.
