I like how it is creepy and unique.

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.

A lot of virtual machines for what?

Some Chinese EVs copy the style of fancy cars. For example the Xiaomi EV practically ripped off a Porsche.

Original, high quality designs require high development costs. Also a good design should consider the functionality as well, such as aerodynamics specific to the power and handling of the vehicle. Weight distribution etc.

Edit: not an expert at all, just my guess and observations

Great idea for a community! I hope it won’t become overly policitcal.

Sorry for AI but I couldn’t find it by just googling:

Yes, Firefox did have an in-house developed “Tab Center” — it was an experimental feature created by Mozilla as part of their Test Pilot programme around 2016–2017.

🧪 Mozilla’s Original “Tab Center” Name: Tab Center

Status: Experimental Test Pilot feature (now discontinued)

Timeframe: Circa 2016–2017

Purpose: To explore the usability of vertical tabs on the left side of the browser, instead of the traditional horizontal layout.

🔍 Key Features Displayed open tabs vertically in a sidebar.

Showed a more spacious, scrollable list of tabs.

Included favicons and tab titles — easier to manage lots of tabs.

Supported mouse gestures like tab pinning and closing.

Looked and felt very similar to Edge’s modern vertical tabs.

Many years ago they had an offical extension called “Tab Center”, it had been in “labs” for some time. When it finished testing (it worked well), Mozilla decided to drop it instead of deploying it in Firefox. It wasn’t even in low priority.

It took them many years and they finally implemented vertical tabs in 2024.

Pretty accurate except for “we must focus on the browser”, I’ve never seen/heard them doing that.

I still remember when they cancelled vertical tabs after successful testing.

I insist on using the term “tiananmen massacre”.
