I’m a mathematician by training who has worked extensively (and exclusively) in the software field. While I realize I’m probably biased here, I think I write very solid code and have rarely received any complaints from trained software engineers about it.

I did however also take quite a few computer science classes in college and have spent a lot of time learning how to write better, more readable and maintainable code. Having had quite a few jobs at the start of my career where I was the only programmer on a project and therefore forced to eat my own dog food has certainly also helped.

Instead of starting your own project, have you considered simply contributing to an existing open source project instead?

Yeah, sorry I didn’t realize the post was this old when I responded to it. Not sure why it popped up on my feed right among a bunch of much more recent ones.

This feels like something that was written by an AI, except for the last sentence.

It's been a while since Apollo stopped working and I never even knew about this feature back when it still did, so I have a bit of trouble picturing it. Can you explain HOW this worked, exactly?

When you long pressed on a comment, would it scroll up to the immediate parent, or did it collapse all the other children of the same parent (or only those above the comment you pressed on), or what?

What if there was an option to customize what happens on a long press on a comment?

What are you talking about, you totally CAN reply with an image.

See?

This isn't any different from how OG Lemmy works.

You can only have single image on the post itself, if you want to add more, you have to add them via Markdown in the body.

Unfortunately there isn't any support for gallery type posts at the moment, but feel free to badger the devs about it. Looks like there's been an open issue about this since 2020.

Weird, both the official Reddit app and Lunar for Lemmy also have a custom icon feature and they don’t seem to be having the same issue.

Even after restarting my phone in order to fix it, Voyager “forgot” its icon again after simply closing and reopening it. I did not even change the icon.

EDIT: after some experiments I found out that this problem only seems to occur when the “O.G.” is used. Is the iOS app perhaps simply missing a small version of that icon?

Yeah I don’t see it either.

I mean, if you can start a new post from anywhere but then still have to select the community to post it to from the post editor, I’m not sure how that saves you any clicks.

What’s the advantage here?
