Doesnt seem to be active yet, looks like that feature is still closed beta.

I really hope they include an option to customize the For You feed. I don’t want pure recommendations I want a chronological feed with every 3rd post be a recommended one. I don’t understand how zero platforms/apps have a merged feed to have the best of both in one feed

Oh thats cool. The OP is talking about f-droid comments though, does f droid have gitlab/gitea commemts?

Will you be making a similar video for linkstack? If you do could you include a section for adding logo buttons like how linktree lets you have just a mastodon\instagram logo be a button on the top of the page

They’re working on what? Codeberg comments on fdroid?

Its not personalized though it’s a list of news websites they chose instead of content based on your follow and likes.

Yes, it does work without logging in I just tested it :)

What issues does it address?

Really glad they're making an official app. Interested in seeing what the potential redesign will look like.

As weird as it might sound I want to join an instance thats focused on or only short form content. I love getting Blender tutorials on tiktok and them being straight to the point with no intro/outro, like and subscribe, memes, etc. Which youtubers use so videos can have midroll ads and longer watch times. Blender tutorials on TikTok are just a minute or two explaining the cool feature or trick in blender and its done and then a video reply to a comment asking to get more in depth about a specific node or segment.

Thats awesome! it would be great if you could make a post about it so instance admins would be aware of it and know they can implement it on their homepage so users can ensure their instance is sustainably funded

Is it possible to subscribe to a comment thread as well? So if anyone replies to your comment I get a notification?

Im not really knowledgeable enough to be able to spot whats interesting.

Although something strange about it is if I try to stream something on ext.to with Inspect Element open it automatically closes the stream player and refreshes the page every time. So its impossible to view the networking tab and see what the player causes to show up

I got it from chocolately.

Wait why accept the permission? I don’t really want to risk it installing something I don’t notice

Ive never gotten this request before though and ive been browsing for a while. I didn’t accept it and the browser continues working fine. Doesnt seem standard

That’s what I’m thinking, it happened when i tried to load their streaming player for the first time which historically have pop unders on streaming websites

Theyre also blatant scams. Whenever I accidentally open youtube on my phone when clicking a link the ad is literally claims of free money using ai voices of celebrities, “cures” for blindness that are selling watered down bleach, and other scams

His first post was him saying someone looks like a monkey which looking at his account seems like got deleted. Easy block

Oh, so is the progress bar just an image or is it code that can update the progress based on the manually inputted values?

Seems like something that could be automated using SVGs

I don’t really understand it since I know almost nothing about programming. But if I understand it correctly (which I probably don’t) the JSON endpoint is just a static set of information you can pull data from? While the API would be able to read and write data and have more precise information pulled. Not sure though because you can comment and vote from the extension so it’s somewhat interactive still

Thanks! Its super convenient! Is it just me or does clicking the link it provides opens the thread but not the comment itself? Would be convenient since im guessing replies to comments dont cause a notification?
