Maybe I'm the only one, but I just want a lemmy client that'll change the way homepage sorting works so that when I refresh its not the exact same feed. Feel like it wouldn't be that hard to make it not show posts you've already seen. Cause currently, I have to always browse lemmy in one session. If I quit, I have to come back like hours or even a while day later just so I don't have to scroll past posts I saw already
I think some of the mobile apps do actually have this feature. But also it's an account setting in lemmy core, look for "show read posts" in your settings.

I remember trying the reddit version, and uninstalled on the first full screen ad. After asking about this on the Lemmy version, got a nice down vote 👉👈
Meanwhile I'll be sat here waiting for a Lemmy port of RiF... I'm in no rush.

Thanks for notifying that my favorite frontend app (for Reddit) is finally ready! Yeah, too bad it's not FOSS...
Try Connect for Lemmy. It's excellent.
I've seen a lot of posts recently about FOSS. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know anything about it. What is FOSS and does it have a big advantage over other software designs?
Free and Open Source Software
It means that the source code is released and available and you can even build the code yourself. You can inspect it to make sure it's not doing anything malicious or stupid (but more likely you can hope other people that are smarter than you will do it).
The only advantages it has really for regular end users are it's free, and if it's popular other developers will make apps that use it.
FOSS = Free and Open Source Software
Basically it means anyone can view the code and tinker with it/look for security failures/add features for themselves, etc.

All i want is a client that has posts as list mode and the ability to have different accounts with different settings and blocklists.
Connect is not the business for this, blocking one instance blocked it across all my accounts.
