#fedilab

#Fedilab ist eine sehr leistungsfähige Android-App fürs Fediverse. Man bekommt sie bei #FDroid.

Leider ist sie kaum dokumentiert. Darum beschreibe ich jetzt ein Feature, das ich erst heute gefunden habe:

📣 Fedilab kann die lokalen Timelines ferner Mastodon-Instanzen anzeigen!

– ferne Timeline einblenden: ein Profil der Instanz aufrufen > Dönermenü oben rechts > Folge Instanz

– ferne Timeline ausblenden: Sidebar > Meine App > Timelines verwalten

I've just noticed that #fedilab (@apps) is listed as "Paid" on https://joinmastodon.org/apps/ . This hasn't been the case in my experience - it appears completely gratis and libre on #FDroid. Is this a mistake?

Has anyone found out how to remove an account from the #Fedilab app?

Note that I don't want to remove the account on the server.

/cc @apps

Update: I was told to tap on the avatar and use the doner menu in top right corner of the sidebar.

#FediverseTip: Did you know you can use the Fediverse to write your future self a letter?

If you have a secondary account that you can use with a client that has a post scheduling feature, then you can send a private message to your main account that will arrive in a week, 3 months or 10 years.

If you don't have such an account yet, you can e.g. get a secondary Mastodon account (hint: climatejustice.social has a 5000 characters limit) and use e.g. Tusky or Fedilab.

Then you'll just have to stay active in the Fediverse and you might get regular letters from your past. 😊

#Fedilab is 7 years old, thank you for your trust and your help!

Back to #Tusky, #Fedilab still has too many little things that feel unpolished (Theming is incomplete as some parts are still blue regardless of what custom colors I pick, some text is unreadable in DMs due to backgroud colors, DMs would send replies twice, etc). It just feels like it has way too much going on and not enough time or hands to polish everything up.

@Tusky on the other hand is just missing a quote post button, and that's all. And sometimes notifications break but I'm not sure if that's Tusky's fault or something else like ntfy acting up.

If your instance supports quoting or reactions, you can use these options with #Fedilab.
Just go in settings and enable extra-features.
This is not a super-power, your instance must support and also follow conventions

The new #Fedilab website uses Material design from #BeerCss https://www.beercss.com/

We started to upgrade #FediPlan and we might switch to this new design.

PS: Currently, you need first to upload media before adding a description with FediPlan.

You are many to join #Fedilab. We will improve the UX for adding several accounts. We have been warned about this issue.

If you have several accounts, Fedilab has an interesting feature for you.

Just long press action buttons (boost, like, bookmark, reply, follow, etc.)
That will allow you to finish the action with another account without switching.
The app will do everything in the background for you (search, federate, do the action). So you will never lose what you were doing.

The new website for #Fedilab has been published. More content will be added.
