Context, I’ve got some web dev experience but it’s all self taught from enjoying it as a hobby. Personally, the design aspect is probably worse for me.
I’ve been toying with the idea of trying to do something with the Lemmy API (even if it’s never shared publicly) but I’ve seen a handful of people complain about the API, is it really that bad?
I’d probably use React if I did do something.
EDIT: This is a prototype design I came up with, I’ll play around with the API and see what I can do. I think that it could be a fun project, thanks for all the help!
Post Card:
That would be an interesting feature. If an app like that exists, I should try that feature.
However, since I interact with hundreds, if not thousands of people online, it is fairly unlikely that I would bump into the same person again any time soon. That’s why I generally don’t even bother looking at the usernames. Mastodon is centered around individuals who may or may not have anything interesting to say, whereas Lemmy is centered around interesting topics.
You’d be surprised. I see FlyingSquid around lemmy all the time. A few other users I notice quite often actually.
