Getting problems with the main feed again in Tusky on littlefedi
It's stopped progressing the feed again yesterday and when I re-logged in today I got the following error in the screenshot
@dendrobatus_azureus hello, yes I've received it. Sorry if I didn't respond. I haven't had much time for littleFedi in the last week, but I've forwarded it to the devs.
The point is: supporting all the apps seems more difficult than expected. You fix one - another breaks. And Mastodon APIs are mixed of old things, new things, etc. and supporting them all would make it quite difficult to handle. So they're trying to see case by case. It would be nice if the apps could start supporting littleFedi a little more, but it hasn't happened for snac for a long time, so I'm not expecting it. MastoBlaster will always keep snac and littleFedi in great consideration. Maybe it's time to port it to Android... (oh gosh...that won't be easy at all!). But then another issue will arise: MastoBlaster won't be open source. And Android users, usually, want open source solutions. That's why the PWA is quite complete: to support all the devices without having to rely on apps.
@stefano On Androids with very little memory the standalone Littlefedi app is a problem because there is just not enough to go around. Motorola runs invisible processes on it leaving a couple of hundreds of MB free for programs.
When an Android swaps it almost freezes, the keyboard disappears.
Tusky is light and versatile.
Luckily the feed resumed again in tusky.
Thank you for the consise responses
