This statement makes it sound absolute, but it is not.

The more people being nice, the better chance you meet people being good to you.

You can't make them good to you, but they MIGHT be good to you because you are good to them.

It becomes part of the black hole. Then it will be very slowly evaporated.

I prefer Fallout 3. It has great atmosphere and feels more immersive.

Definitely recommend Ubiquiti Unifi products. Very reliable and easy to use.

Bone apple tea.

Didn't know that. But at least the extra steps make it less convenient I think.

Not really a feature but I like the general look and feel of PieFed. I think the user interface feels polished even though it is still quite early in development.

mbin on the other hand just doesn’t feel as comfortable to use. The layout feels unnatural and the buttons are in unexpected places. Also I really dislike the unconventional terms such as “magazine” and “boost”. (I know they came from kbin)

I hope PieFed will keep the UI clean while adding new features. I am quite confident with the devs based on what I have seen so far.

Thanks for all the hardworking devs providing such wonderful applications.

Edit:
Expanding on what I like about PieFed:

  • The "new communities" and "active communities" section on the sidebar are more useful than I expected.
  • Killer feature: Grouping cross posts and viewing comments from different posts in the same view
  • Voting is private. This gives me the peace of mind when I downvote a post from a snowflake.
  • Instance blocking that works

You need to open a restaurant.

if we change the default to hide the UI, then it would also do that on larger devices,

Understood. Let's keep it as an option. I think the majority of Interstellar users would be on mobile.

Do other apps have back gestures as well?

It really depends on the app. I use Voyager and it supports back gestures everywhere.

IMO, back gestures should be handled by the OS

Unfortunately iOS handles back gestures differently. The problem is that without back gesture I need to tap the upper left corner every time I want to go back. With huge phones these days I have to use two hands to operate it.

PieFed webapp supports back gesture (via Safari), and it remains my app of choice for this reason.

Thanks it is much better with this. Should be the default in my opinion.

Will you consider adding back gesture?

By the way, thanks so much for supporting PieFed!

On iOS, I want back gesture (for returning to the feed from the list).
I also want more space for content. Currently the top and bottom bars are taking too much screen estate. Can you autohide when scrolling?

I still visit Reddit for certain subreddits because the threadiverse simply don't have enough participants.

With threadiverse being decentralised, I don't think you need to worry about the "cost of growth". Even if part of it becomes like Reddit, you can always find/start an instance with a small-town vibe.

 

Apple’s AI rollout has been rocky, from Siri delays to underwhelming Apple Intelligence features. WSJ’s Joanna Stern sits down with software chief Craig Federighi and marketing head Greg Joswiak at WWDC 2025 in Cupertino to talk about the future of AI at Apple—and what the heck happened to that smarter Siri.

 

Remember when Google introduced text-only ads to replace flashing animated banners and pop-up ads popular at the time? I didn't mind those and I didn't need an adblocker.

Nowadays YouTube is the primary reason I have to use an adblocker. It is literally unusable with all the ads.
