Dresses of the coat world

Multi-reddit-like functionality.

Users being able to group communities together themselves might also be a potential solution to the many, many posts complaining about the fragmentation of identical communities across instances.

Vogager has a web app version, if that’s what you mean by front end.

I haven’t tried it but I’ve been thinking about it… Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?

Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .

Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can’t do much with the Gui, can’t add books etc. Also I’m already running a a web server with php so it’s more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.

Similarly I use COPS (php calibre front-end)… But with no users or auth. If you can guess the URL you are in! Exciting.

Works well with nextcloud also.

I seem to recall on reddit there were a lot of subs that somehow had mods who modded hundreds of subs, and didn’t participate and weren’t a part of the actual communities. It seemed these people just liked collecting subs. I’d worry that with an automated system people like this (or even bots) will show up, and just start squatting (so to speak) on the mod rights to communities. Time will tell, I guess, with growth.

phanopy is an interesting mastodon front end that groups boosts periodically into a side scrolling container. The effect is that your feed is a lot cleaner, but you still can look at boosts if you want to.

Could someone please cure me of my Dredmor addiction? 12 years later and I’m still rolling random builds. Diggles are my only friends.

AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

Been using free tier Feedly for many years now. It’s “good enough”. Before that I used Akgregator, which did a pretty decent job for a local app.

Other odd RSS adventures: I played with self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS for a while, and it is actually pretty awesome. It’s automatic filtering and tagging capabilities were amazing. But I got tired of maintaining it. I toyed with NetVibes ages ago – it is a “dashboard” oriented web site, with RSS support. It worked pretty well actually, but the UI is … unusual. It used to be free. Maybe still is. I don’t know. I found myself using the cleaner and simpler “good enough” Feedly more.

It should be pretty easy to move your RSS feed collection between apps/services as most of them support OPML format import/export. So just go ahead and try stuff and see what you like. (Just check first that it supports OPML import/export.)
