Thank you for sharing my PieFed/Lemmy UI! Btw, if you're in the progress of migrating from Lemmy to PieFed, you can login to both Lemmy and PieFed simultaneously via blorpblorp.xyz. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with bug reports or feature requests. The best way to report those is GitHub, but I also read PieFed/Lemmy comments.

Thank you for your continuous work on Blorpblorp!
Probably should include the name of the software you're using and credit the dev:
Blorp by @moseschrute@lemmy.world
That would be a nice gesture and I think I'll do that in future, if I have the spoons.
@moseschrute@lemmy.world have you considered adding "Powered by Blorp" with a link to your site at the bottom of the left column? That way every copy of the software has your stamp on it and SEOs you.
Edit: the blorpblorp dev literally thanked the OP in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/21972414
The terms of use and privacy policy both acknowledge the name of the software
Great, I'm sure everyone who comes here will click through and read those.
Photon doesn't add the app name or developer credits anywhere either, at least on mobile: https://photon.piefed.zip/
Photon did not share this post.
Nor did Blorp. Photon is the alternative front-ends, similar to Blorp.
Piefed.zip and Piefed.social are the instances adding those front-ends.
Nor did Blorp
Yes, so they're also not the ones responsible for attribution, thanks.
I don't understand why you're arguing with me about something as simple as providing attribution.
The blorpblorp dev literally thanked the OP in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/21972414
He doesn't really seem impacted negatively by the lack of attribution, which is further evidenced by the lack of attribution in Blorpblorp itself, the same way Photon doesn't have it either.
Some people just want to create apps for the sake of it, without having people using their apps being pointed out that they don't give credits to them.
I'm not gonna argue with you about this anymore. This is stupid. You didn't even make this post. It's just respectful to attribute FOSS when you use and share it. That's all. Goodbye.
And it's also respectful do not point out something like "lack of attribution" to the lead dev of the main platform of the Threadiverse.
Your comment looked like a criticism of the post, and adding Blorp to Piefed.social, when the Blorp dev literally thanked Rimu to add it.
Contributors (devs, admins, mods, posters, commenters) burn out is real, and this of negative unjustified comments contribute to it. Why should people try to develop this platform when they get greeted with "well, you should probably have done this minor thing that nobody cares about, on top of everything else you've done".
After using it the whole day now I don't like that you can't turn off infinite scroll.
Much better, thanks
I like the logo with pixelated font.
This is nice
Looks awesome!
I love Blorp and it's my default interface/Piefed app on mobile. It looks very polished and thought out.
That said, I am not happy with typography that modifies contrast for emphasis. It works alright in dim conditions and / or dark mode, but in bright environments the low contrast portions of text become completely invisible, not just unreadable. That's not Blorp in particular, it seems to be a design trend ATM.
Very good
I really like it, much better than the default.
I like the default theme. I just want to change the accent color.
high contrast theme is the best one imo
The Amethyst theme in your user settings is mostly a recolored version of the default theme that is pretty popular. You could give that a shot. The HPT themes are a bit more of a departure, but they have lots of fans out there as well.
The colors are all overwrite-able via custom css in your settings if one of those options doesn't work. Which elements are you looking to recolor? We use Bootstrap css for the web ui, so you would just need to overwrite the default colors that Bootstrap uses.
I'm sure this can be done with custom CSS in the user settings!
I don't really know how, but if nobody magically spawns with a solution in this thread you could consider asking in !piefed_css@piefed.social :)
thanks. i'm gonna look into that
needs more random spez quotes in between comments ;)
Wow, looks nice!
Is it missing the feature to enable/disable notifications on communities/threads or did I just miss it?
That link should be "x.piefed.social". ;)
EDIT
I'm confused about the Themes bit - did you mean that as in "there are other themes than the default one for regular PieFed, and that's information that's unrelated to b.piefed.social"?
FAKE-EDIT
PLEASE add the Ctrl+Enter shortcut to send comment/post!
The themes are indeed for the default Piefed UI
