I am working on this. But I need help, shoot me a message if you're interested. https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte

How lovely

Being a moderator on the jailbait subreddit, a community for sharing sexually suggestive pictures of underage teenage girls

This one is a lie, he was added as a moderator by another mod, at a time when anyone could do so. Lets please stop spreading this.

I don't think the federation in itself is an issue. We just need to figure out how to present it, and integrate everything.

Nah I disagree. Turning things less serious is not necessarily a bad thing. People will visit to check it out but long term it will get stale and die off.

Hey! This looks awesome. Im a programmer working on a UI. I would really really really like to use this and work with you on completing my project.

This will go away with dropping websockets

Whats the matter professor? Nothings the matter fry, now that I turbocharged the matter compressor

I don't think it's a lie, but it highlights that revenue is all they're thinking about.

God why is everyone on reddit a cynical asshole?

Just added the Apache License.

Goals:

1. Better UI (I am aiming for old.reddit) for lemmy with a new design (repetitive icons, hard to distinguish comments, terrible mobile UI) and fixing common issues, like freezing, spinners loading forever, etc.
2. Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps. This is possible with Svelte + Capacitor.
3. Svelte codebase which I believe will be far easier to develop on.
4. Rethink how communities are browsed/integrated as alluded to in this post. This is my end goal, but I need to have some discussions about what this will exactly look like.

My current goal is to just get the site working with all/most of the existing functionality. For that there is a lot to do. Profile/settings page, comment replies, community browser/subscriptions to name a few.

Nah dude, then youd have to lie to the kids as to what happened which sours your relationship with the kids.

Lemmy UI has a ton of issues

This is such a good point. Reddit nor any of the other giants can surpass the ability of open source. If this works out it will prove a very fundamental shift in tech.

Agree, let them do whatever they want.

If this place turns into rage bait content like reddit Im out. Way too nice outside to deal with cynical assholes to discuss irrelevant stuff that has no real impact

Why do people care about preserving their "identity" and posts so much? This was never a thing in the old internet.

Absolutely. And as much as I am saying this, I would love to see a proven alternative to massive corporate tech. I worked at one of these companies before, and I despise the them with a passion

Its unreal

The amount of work getting done is directly proportional to the amount of people at a company

This is absolutely not true.

This is one of the most well known writings on software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month

Besides, its not just about efficiency, but about scope and use of resources. In economic boom cycles there is more capital to play around with non-essential ideas. When that access to capital dries up, so does viability of keeping extra resources for things that are not essential.

It seems like Jerboa uses GPLv3 as well, as does Bitwarden and some other open source apps. Its probably ok though it seems like it can run into trouble way down the line. Im going to keep the GPLv3 for now.
