It ended up being more of a proof-of-concept than anything. I forked Thunder by banging my fists on the keyboard until it worked, rather than actually learn anything about Flutter/Dart or proper app development. As soon as another Flutter app came along (Interstellar), I leapt at the chance to abandon it.
Nope. I don’t agree with cm0002’s campaign of reposting everything posted to a lemmy.ml community to a community hosted elsewhere, so I don’t want to run a bot that suggests there’s genuine growth somewhere when I consider any growth there to be driven by bullshit. The bot was never sophisticated enough to distinguish between the two.
I’m nearing completion of my own bot now, hopefully it’s first post will be later today. Will probably need some adjustment later on since I threw it together in just a weekend (well more like 8 hours across a weekend, a little here and there because life lmao)
Yea, it’s not really a fair point (well beyond “its his bot to do with what he pleases” anyways) my interpretation of his comment was “I’m pissed it’s actually working and people are actually subscribing and growing non-.ml comms so I’m taking my toy and going home” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ LMAO
Say, which would you recommend? Maybe I’ll take a look into them all. As a Jerboa user, I reckon support might not come (afaik Jerboa is an official Lemmy client). I just vibe with Jerboa’s simplicity. Not gonna get overwhelmed with options and features here. Plus, it looks good!
Interstellar, Voyager, Summit, Blorp, Mlem
Whatever happened to the Thunder fork - I never hear any news of it these days despite it having been started first?

Hrm… so just like all software development then? 😜
@[email protected] was working on it, based on his profile he’s probably on vacation
He deserves it, and I hope he comes back well rested:-).
I’m not on vacation - I just tend to use this account instead.
Noted! By the way, any chance you could restart [email protected] ?

Hm, I see. Fair point

Voyager or Summit? It’s up to personal preference mostly, the other ones are good option too!
