Ok, thanks!

I’m using Memmy, so I’ll try to login on the web someday and get that server instance blocked. (Presuming we are running v19+, not sure)

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

You can add instance filters manually in Memmy.

Setttings > Filters and Blocking > Instance Filters

This is apparently broken, and memmy development looks to be dead.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh, crap. I had t actually tried it. Thanks.

Is Memmy officially dead/abandoned?

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Seems like it. Latest update was last year. No commits or merges either.

[–] herescunty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hmm just react native, which is in my wheelhouse. Probably not worth contributing fixes now tho if it’s a dead repo.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 5 points 6 months ago

You could fork and maintain it :)

[–] kashifshah@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Bwaha, thank you fellow human!

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

This is a local filter and will not block the instance using the Lemmy native instance blocking feature. Meaning it will not sync with your account.

It is also broken.

You may want to look into other clients, looking at the GitHub, Memmy development seems abandoned.

If you want to continue using Memmy, blocking the instance in your account from the webUI should still work.

Ahh, what an emotional rollercoaster - ok, so noted.

Memmy seems relatively decent, only missing maybe one or two features that I’ve noticed in my few weeks on lemmy.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I've been using Thunder since the exodus, and its development has been going slow and steady since (with help from me and others).

Without updates to Memmy, eventually the API may break, as happened to LiftOff when the v19 update landed, stopping it from working entirely.

A lot of new apps got started during the reddit API drama, now it seems we are finding out which ones are actually sticking around.

[–] kashifshah@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

That was a breath of fresh air to see a cross-platform client - have downloaded it and will check it out as soon as i can.

Gotta limit my social media intake otherwise I get bad headaches these days.

I used to use Memmy before development stopped. I found Voyager had all the features/UI that I wanted and used that for a while. Recently I’ve started trying Arctic - it’s similar to Voyager but has a few UI tweaks I prefer.

Edit: oh and both of these apps support instance blocking

[–] kashifshah@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Cool, I will check these out - thanks for the suggestions!

[–] macarthur_park@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

No problem! Also your response just reminded me of one key feature that Arctic has that Voyager doesn’t yet: push notifications.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 6 months ago

Yep, lemmy.sdf.org is on 0.19.3 so you're good (as long as you're using a frontend that provides access to the instance blocking option)

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

You are.

Does memmy not have instance blocking? I'm on thunder myself, and it definitely does.
