Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.

This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.

Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.

Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.

Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.

All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).

Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.

To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

Anyone have suggestions for a good mobile Lemmy app? Or do people generally just use their browser?

I'm using boost right now and its fine except that it shows usernames instead of display names so I can't see anyone's pronouns

I like jerboa a lot and it is open source

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's also developed by Desslines, a comrade and lemmy dev

[–] roux@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

It's also written in Kotlin which is kind of a dope programming language that I wish was used in more places.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Seconding Jerboa. Only real complaint is that it doesn't support Hexbear custom emojis.

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

word for word what I was gonna post.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

My ass will actually go out of my way to log into hexbear in Firefox when I really wanna use an emoji lol.

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

I have also done this

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

have the PWA installed solely for that reason

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Real but I just save the ones I use most as images

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I started using Thunder after someone suggested it and it works really well for me. They even fixed something when I posted in their comm so that I could have vote totals hidden but still see what I've upvoted.

Does thunder support emoji?

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It doesnt have a picker but it does and they render at the appropriate size.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Thunder is the most polished app. The design is really good.

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

I use Voyager, I like its interface. However, it doesn't normalize emoji sizes so some are HUGE. It also doesn't have an emoji picker either.

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

I stopped using the apps because none support the Hexbear emoji picker. I just use the PWA now(install through the menu in your browser). The only thing I miss is being able to configure individual font sizes.

Firefox mobile / PWA works best for me, there's no real reason for me to move to an app

[–] TROJANHEX@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Jerboa, it is modern, FOSS, and easy to use

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I use jerboa and just remember the colon codes for emotes

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But it doesn't convert them to images after the fact, though, does it? That's why I have never used that method.

:cat-confused:

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They do show as images for users on browser, but not for users on jerboa.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I'll be damned. I had to see it for myself, but you're right.

[–] thagoat@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Eternity on android is pretty solid

[–] wheresmysurplusvalue@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Voyager is working really well for me
