  • Speed of development. It could take months for a PR to get into Lemmy core and then a new release.

    Things that get into Lemmy core have to be well thought out and the core Devs have to want them in there.

    Running custom code is a way to make changes without having to get their approval, and if it proves popular enough, then maybe they’ll implement it upstream.



  • BTW, I didn’t vote one way or another on your posts. Those downvotes came organically.

    I don’t care if you do or not. We’re not having a popularity contest here.

    You can think that I’m…taking meaning that isn’t there

    I sure do, because you are. Just because I’m saying that it’s important to stand up and fight for your rights does not mean that I’m advocating for this particular guy to put himself in a situation where he might get beaten up or killed, or judging him for not doing so. There’s an enormous range of actions between actively putting yourself in harm’s way and doing nothing at all. And in fact, the only person judging people here…is you.







  • The user experience is nicer as a native app, if done right. With a PWA, you have to deal with anything crappy that the browser inflicts on you, and the developer largely can’t do anything about it. For example, Chrome sometimes just crashes or freezes entirely on me, which means Voyager can too.

    See elsewhere in this thread for examples of little things that stem solely from being a PWA .

    Don’t get me wrong, I think Voyager is great for a PWA and it probably gets a lot of value out of being a PWA making it easier for people to contribute. But it’s just not as good as native for me.
