if this counts as spam sorry not sorry. I created a tumblr clone two years ago. And then I conected it to the fedi like a year ago. its been hard, its buggy and its fun. Did a big redesign during christmas
Whoaa, a fedi tumblr clone?! I had no idea anyone was working on that. You rock!
This is seriously one of my favorite things about the Fediverse… someone decided to make their own experience of it and build a platform… now it’s a thing.
Kudos clever internet person!
it started as a thing before being conected to the fedi. Its just that seemed like the best way of keeping the project alive and OH MY FUCKING GOD IT WAS HARD AND OH MY GOD I COMMITED SO MANY CRIMES AGAINST CODE
With Tumblr the bugs became features, so its only right for the fediverse version to do the same.
Interesting. I like the UI. I doubt the aesthetic people on Tumblr would like it but that’s not the point.
it’s always welcome to have more options in the fediverse.
How is federation working, BTW? I see you’ve commented from wafrn, are you able to follow Lemmy communities from there?
it goes very well, it has some bugs because its a one person job. idk why your post wasnt apearing in wafrn.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what this actually is. But congrats on building it and yay for more federated stuff!
its hell on earth
Didn’t Tumblr announce ActivityPub support last month? They still have yet to implement it, so I guess you already beat them to that.
they announced it more than a year ago, but tumblr now is on a skeleton crew. and no, I do not mean gay zombie pirates, I mean just a few of devs. AP is something hard, Ive done it my way but it would not scale to a tumblr scale.
Also, they have to add a lot of stuff to the interface
I have to say, I never used Tumblr, but I know that it was suggested as an alternative to either Twitter and/or reddit. How is it different and or similar from microblogging and the threadiverse?
There’s a big culture of Yes And improv, shitposting, and reblogging really old posts on a periodic basis
Went to check out the source code for the front-end and see if there was anything I could help out with… Saw it was made with Angular.
oh no
(Congrats on integrating Fedi into it!)
well you should look at the backend that one is bad.
The front I did some big changes during christmas, it was a big improvement on the UX
Do you happen to have a Matrix or Discord server set up to talk about development? I’d love to help out if I can.
