The changes have also resulted in a redesign in the app which is very subtle but I still do not like it ๐ซค
I know most of you do not use an app and do not care
I'll get over it, but I'm bummed to have my Favorite Thing be weird and different, I liked it how it was. I know the upgrades were purposeful, and I'll get used to them and even appreciate them, but I'm disappointed about them right now.
It's a bad interpersonal time, it would have been nice for me individually for this little bit of interpersonal stuff to stay stable but ๐คท
who knows what everyone else needs, but whatever it is, I'll go along โค๏ธ
sorry, most of the changes are from upstream lemmy, and I try my best to reduce/undo the number of frontend changes they make, but sometimes they go a little too far and make it a lot of work to maintain hexbear-specific changes. also, third-party apps are completely out of our control as well; its up to them to update to 0.19 and whatnot.
Oh man, I'm super sorry, I didn't mean to be bitching about your work. I genuinely appreciate everything you all do to keep the site running, and I should have mentioned in all this whining that I was grateful that the downtime was so much less than expected.
Thank you for your time and labor, and for responding kindly to my stupid bitching! I sincerely apologize for it..
No no need to apology, just trying to give some background info. I'm the same way; i hate when updates change things in the UI after you get use to it. I do try to minimize it as best I can, but most of the changes on lemmy are out of my hands unless i dedicate a big chunk of time into making changes and then maintaining them every lemmy update.
I hate being logged out every time I close firefox's installed app on my tablet. I think the mods figured Christmas would be slow enough to not bother to many people.
They didn't count on how many of us hate being with our families for the holidays?!?
Maybe it's a minority of us, I assume they assessed server traffic before picking a day to do it.
It's not just Hexbear though, unfortunately the app I use (Connect) also updated/changed things too, but ๐คท
I'll get used to it eventually
We're probably gonna see that a lot until the tech gets time to settle. Hopefully it won't be as bad as Apple and Windows moving things for no reason each major update.
wait what changed?
