I looked at the code recently. It’s really good, way better than the UI made me expect.

Sorry about that, it sounds very frustrating.
I’ve found that a field used to store account timezones was too short for yours. I’ve increased the size now so your next registration attempt will succeed.

Does it work ok in your phone web browser?
More apps will follow, I expect.

Let’s see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a Lemmy server/way that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers?English2·21 days agoYeah I think it’d be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.
The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it’s so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a Lemmy server/way that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers?English3·21 days agoIn https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.
I don’t know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a Lemmy server/way that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers?English2·21 days agoYeah. But in this case the Topics menu can be quite heavy as it lists every community that the current user is subscribed to. Instead of generating that menu (and sending it to the client) on every page load, when it probably won’t even be used, PieFed makes an ajax call (only possible with JS) to retrieve the topics menu when it’s clicked. Same for ‘Feeds’.
This cut the amount of HTML being sent to the browser by around 50% (depends on how many communities you subscribe to but PieFed makes it extremely easy to subscribe to dozens of communities with a single click so many people have hundreds) and eased load on the server too. Some of the more under-powered instances run noticeably faster now.

Dropdown menus. They’re not really needed but life sucks without them.
Can’t manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).
There’s probably more but I haven’t seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it’s built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.
Rimu@piefed.socialto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there a Lemmy server/way that doesn't require allowing javascript of a million other servers?English24·22 days agoYes.
PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.
Try it at https://piefed.social/ or any of these other instances - https://join.piefed.social/try
Rimu@piefed.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Indian Government orders censoring of accounts on XEnglish1·1 month agoIf you don’t want to see it, you’re not going to.
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Lemmy users missing out is THE reason they’ll become PieFed users.
lol, wow
