Thank you! Now I stupid that u didn’t start there.
As in hardware or settings? It’s running on the same Rasburry pi 5 with 16gb ram as my plex server. Obviously this is on the lower end of compute, but I would expect it to have similar performance to Plex.
For software config, I’ve changed no Jellyfin settings from the defaults. I kinda was hoping it’s set and forget like Plex.
Edit: both Jellyfin and Plex are running in docker (via CasaOS)
Idk how one gets content on Nebula, but I wish more creators would join. Ik nebula isn’t Fediverse like PeerTube, but I still really like it and think it’s worth the $30/year to not get ads.
I’m not opposed to a name change. I’m not really great at marketing tbh. Here’s the thing, I kinda hate the Lemmy branding. The technology is wonderful, but I find the logo kinda off putting. I really wanted to build an app that felt cool to use. Naming things is hard, and I’m not claiming that I did better than Lemmy. I also understand most people here probably either like or have no problem with the name.
When I set out to build Blorp, my goal was to appeal to a broader audience. I would love to help bring in new users to Lemmy. ~8 months later, here I am and I think if shifted focus a little to making current Lemmy users want to use my app. I would still love to bring in new users, but that poses the challenge of helping them understand federated social media.
I’m kinda rambling now, but there’s some context. But if someone wanted to build out some alternative branding including a logo, I’d be open to the idea. But it would take time to switch things over and really don’t want to sacrifice the limited time I have to solve bugs.
What I really need if we want to scale this project up is some help. That could be submitting bugs, helping organize GutHub issues, researching out to existing Blorp users to collect feedback, writing code, help marketing to new users. Any of those would be helpful.
I’ve been using the iOS beta. I can’t speak to the Mac beta. For iOS, the execution needs work, but I think I actually agree with the sentiment that content should own the entire screen and the controls should float over the content. However, there are some serious readability concerns that they need to sort out. But think of Instagram from 5 years ago compared to TikTok. TikTok really demonstrated how the content should take over the screen, and now every major social media app has a TikTok style vertical feed that fills your entire screen. I don’t use TikTok, but I enjoy apps that let content take up the screen. Apple does things that are genuinely really frustrating like refusing to redesign the Magic Mouse or putting the power button on the bottom of the Mac Mini. But in this case, I think maybe we should let Apple Cook - pun intended - but push back on obvious flaws like readability.
I’m also socially inept and I worry I may say the wrong thing, especially as an ally. But I want to express my support durning pride month and in general. I just find I’m a bit clumsy when it comes to the words. I rewrote this comment like 3 times lol.

Wait AI is overhyped? /s
We already did great. Now we’re keeping it great

Happy pride month! I feel a little silly saying happy given the current circumstances of the world, but I think we gotta press on or they win.
Anthropic for starters. What they don’t realize is everyone will be switching to cyber security jobs in 10 years when every vibe coded piece of software is riddle with security vulnerabilities.

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!
Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.
That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.
I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.
Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.
Other platforms coming soon:
- iOS
- Android
- Linux
- Windows

Docker (via CasaOS) running on a rasbury pi 5 with 16gb ram. Same exact hardware I’m running Plex on. I understand it’s not ideal hardware but I’m only looking for as good of performance as Plex.
