Mid 50s, first went online on a 70s BBS, JANET user in the 80s.
Is there any news on Sublinks?
The first record I chose was Ma Na Ma Na by the Muppets. The first record bought with my own money was Never for Ever by Kate Bush
Also, old.
That was my reason for asking about sublinks apps.
I know that devs like web interfaces but the truth is you need apps if anything social is going to become established.
It’s a sad fact in the fediverse that routinely apps or even front end GUI aren’t compatible. There’s only so many times this can happen (or instances shut down or not be maintained) before it all becomes a bit much.
So I think relying on Lemmy apps is a mistake.
As I understand it, Lemmy doesn’t support notifications through the api and the devs are resistant So apps have to take one of two routes either constantly polling individual servers or installing a service on the phone (which causes battery issues on Android or to get shut down on iOS)
I hope notifications will be supported from the outset.
