I used arctic a little, but decided to build my own alternative. It’s very actively maintained.
The clock is kinda ticking with all these apps, since Lemmy V1, in the next year ish, will bring breaking changes. I’m committed to Lemmy V1 support, and if you don’t like my app, I’m pretty confident Voyager will also have Lemmy V1 support.
A bit late in asking, and I’m currently supposed to be paying attention to something else lol, but do you have or plan iOS support? I love Arctic but will need a replacement 🫡
Blorp supports iOS. I’m an iOS user myself so I actually do most of my testing there. There’s also a macOS app, though it’s currently distributed outside the App Store. My goal is to offer a great experience on every platform.
My favorite time to work on Blorp is when I’m supposed to be paying attention to something else. 50% of this project is to prove to myself that I’m capable of finishing a project lol.
You sound like me lol, so I downloaded it and I’ll give it a shot, thanks! Is there an instance for it at the moment?
It defaults to Lemmy.zip for now. You can add custom instances by putting them in the search durning login. I don't plan on running a public instance, since running that would be time I could dedicate to working on Blorp. There’s a community !blorp@lemmy.ml, but I think I’m going to migrate to !blorp@lemmy.zip.
Awesome to hear, I just made this @lemmy.ml account. I’ll create one on zip. I’m just looking for compatibility and up time, a few are sadly disappearing.
A lot of people block ml, but it’s run by the Lemmy devs so I would expect it to not disappear. I personally was caught off guard with lemm.ee shutting down, but it seems like lemmy.world and Lemmy.zip are safe. I hope.
Alright, you’ve convinced me to switch again lol. Mind if I ask why? I’m just trying to pick closest servers, but I don’t want to be blocked.
Edit: Signed up for zip and waiting on acceptance.
Honestly I wouldn’t overthink it. I don’t really see an issue with switching instances in the future. Unless you are really worried about your posts/comments, but Lemmy doesn’t have Karma which imo makes switching easier.
But I built Blorp to be really multi account friendly, so I would sign into your ml and zip account and try both.
That’s perfect then, in the early days of Lemmy I figured having 2-3 accounts might become inevitable. There were quite a few DDoS attacks. 🫤 Might as well have a backup.
