Serious thanks for all of your hard work, as well as everyone else working on Lemmy through software of running instances.

Memmy is ready 👍

Another word on a more upbeat topic.

First, I have a Giphy implementation in the works to add to Memmy. In terms of privacy, I have taken steps to mitigate tracking that comes along with the use of a Meta product while also helping to allow users to communicate with more than just text.

Giphy has a SDK already made for React Native. Unfortunately, it has some “analytics” wrapped in. The API itself can be used without those analytics, but that comes at the cost of the almost certain tracking they do with just the searches and your IP.

As a result, this is what I came up with:

1. You submit a search for a GIF (think Discord’s GIF search
2. The request is sent to a Memmy server which then processes the request for you
3. You receive a response with both the direct URL to each of the GIF results as well as a proxy URL. All of the results are displayed to you through the proxy.
4. When you select a GIF, the direct link is added to your post or comment as an image embed.
5. In a future update, there are plans for Lemmy to offer built in proxying of images. Hopefully this will be available soon. However if it is not, for 30 minutes the GIF you added to the comment will continue to be proxied through Memmy so as not to create an immediate link to you creating the request for the image.

This is somewhat similar to the Signal implementation of Giphy some time ago. I’m focused on cleaning up some other issues right now, but I’d like to add this in sometime in the near future. Will keep you posted.

Funny, I’m on the shitter after some tacos right now. This one was a false alarm I think though. Will be back in an hour or so.

The scum tried to require a 60% vote for this. Glad to see it worked out.

It’s ridiculous to think that a decorative plate made by a child could make you feel vulnerable.

You’re right about that, but I think implying they are Americans only lessens the impact of the statement. Better to say it’s the American ideals. People from London are not American but a significant portion of them are indeed poisoned by ideals of the country, which is the problem.

On that note, I’d normally call similar things a western belief but in this instance it’s such a predominately American vs overall western idea right now that genocide is fine that it’s hard to call it anything but.

Doesn’t appear to be America…

I’ll look into it. Thanks.

This reminds me of how upset I was to break my Battlefront CD when I was younger. One of those games you had to enter the CD for to start. Needless to say, that was what started my torrent and crack experience.

Such a great game. The mods and third party maps were awesome. No edition after the first ever lived up to that, especially this new crap they came out with.

It’s weird with devs. Most of us are fine but there’s definitely a sizable number of “tech bros” that absolutely are misogynistic. And it’s probably worse than I realize not being the target of it.

Multiple accounts are available now.

It’s all good. Thanks for the heads up, but yea they are known about. I’ll have something likely this weekend or early next week that’s in line with where we were at before. At that point any issues that you see will most likely not be known issues and I’ll be glad for all the feedback :)

I should say too that if those features are important to you (which is understandable) give me another week.

It is on TestFlight for a reason. It is not a finished product.

Settings are cleared because of a new system of storing the settings.

I am implementing all of those settings. Please be patient.

Thanks for hanging in there. The wait will be worth it :)

Of course :) glad to be back and working on it. It was a good break from things, but it was a good bit longer than expected just due to some other commitments I had as well. Really excited to get this new and - frankly amazing - new update out in full.

I’ve fixed a bunch of stuff there. Hopefully with a few more tweaks it will be wonderful.

Yea, seems to be a bit of a scaling issue from the migration to the new UI library. We'll get it fixed today :)
