I fired Memmy when it kept getting updates with shit like themes despite having bugs like not scrolling to the top after hiding seen posts. Seems small, but I press “hide seen” like every 30 seconds and it drove me insane. Found Voyager and it hides without issue. Haven’t looked back.
Lesson to devs: fix bugs in current features before adding new ones.
Lesson to users: don't act all entitled when you're using a FOSS app developed in people's free time :) We work on what we want to work on, one of those things were themes. Neither of us use the hide seen posts feature so thats why it doesn't get much attention. Feel free to learn React Native and contribute a fix though, I'm sure you'll get around to that!
I probably should’ve spent more time making my point — sorry. The Reddit exodus led to a handful of new Lemmy apps and it was interesting to watch as they all came together so quickly, hoping to be the next Apollo. I was surprised by how fickle my own loyalty to Memmy was when I found an app (Voyager) that looked and worked very similarly, but also seemed to perfectly solve my specific pain point. I was a Memmy user as soon as it popped up and was psyched for its future. What I was thinking when I wrote my original comment is that I actually would’ve preferred no “hide all seen” feature at all, and not in any kind of entitled way (I don’t think, anyway?)
