  • I don’t really see the entitlement here, but I’m sorry nonetheless for the attitude in my comment. I was speaking as a developer and designer myself, but I know the memmy people have no reason to work on any part of the app they don’t want to. I was trying (and failed, miserably) to explain why I left for such a seemingly petty reason. I simply found an alternative. From the perspective of a user, their focus on “new” instead of fixing bugs first was frustrating. That’s not entitlement. I didn’t insist anyone fix it. I saw that the team’s priorities weren’t in line with what I’d assumed they should be. I guess my dogmatic “user centric” approach can read as entitlement, but I’m fully aware I wasn’t owed anything as a user of a free app.


  • 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?)








  • I’ve actually abandoned Memmy in favour of Wefwef / Voyager because there is still no way to just hide a damned post. I have to upvote / downvote to mark as read, and only then can I clear “read” posts.

    Such a simple feature and I was losing my mind without it. How are you all hiding posts? Or do you vote on literally everything? Foreign language posts? Posts from obscure communities you have no opinion on?

    Anyway, I’ll be watching changelogs for a bit in anticipation of “hide” features, but Voyager seems to have it all already.

    Really bummed (and confused) at the omission of this functionality ☹️
