leak your home screen and i'll rate it, here's mine

@alina this is my home screen

@sodiboo @alina I wonder how BankID app looks like from the inside can you open it and make a screenshot

@MarkAssPandi @alina

@sodiboo @alina DAMMIT
I thought it was like a regular bank or smthng

@MarkAssPandi @alina what? no this is a 2FA app nothing more nothing less. I keep my banking apps tucked away neatly right behind it

@alina @sodiboo Brb I gotta figure out what qr code is needed to steal ur data i mean validate this is valid

@sodiboo @alina mf “what?” how was I supposed to know

@sodiboo How are you using *key web on mobile. What

And in Firefox of all browsers

@risc every other client sucks. I tested them all. I hated every last one of them.

@risc here’s a post detailing some of the issues I had with some of the clients I tried

@sodiboo
This one uses Fedilab bc even Moshidon drains its battery like crazy. Can't imagine what Sharkey web is like, especially in the rather slow mobile Firefox..

@risc

Can’t imagine what Sharkey web is like, especially in the rather slow mobile Firefox..

I can imagine what it’s like. it’s horrible .

Sharkey Web + Firefox + janky server backend with many connectivity issues over its lifespan, are NOT fun.

Sharkey has taught me patience.

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @alina@girldick.gay
What's the launcher?

@raccoon @alina Niagara Launcher

@raccoon @alina it’s great it’s like if you put niri on Android and it wasn’t free and it didn’t do window management. actually it’s nothing like niri but it does scroll !!! heck yeah baybeeee it feels so satisfying

@sodiboo oh god.. is this one spoiled by fast native apps (granted, on an often shit connection)... like, if something it uses regularly is slow or unresponsive, it suffers greatly and tries to fix it asap

Tbh, you might want to revisit other clients now since at least something changed since 2024

@risc perhaps but honestly I’m so used to the PWA at this point that it’s not worth switching.

the original post mentioned a feature I liked that the PWA doesn’t have: persisting scroll position.

it’s literally the only benefit I could get from switching to a native client. like yeah the load speeds too but that’s a skill issue because of misconfiguration. the main reason I still care is because I do kinda wish my scroll position persisted.

but it’s been over a year, and I’m used to not having that feature. I do miss scroll position persistence. but I can live without it. I’m no longer seeking it out.

and the PWA does everything else quite well.

@alina mine's about as basic as it gets tbh

@alina hehe tummy

@SRAZKVT cute woa

@risc @sodiboo oh i use akkoma mobile in firefox on android actially

@alina when is tummy not cute

tummy wehhehheeeehhehehehhh

@alina your tummy is very pretty btw

@SRAZKVT true statement

@kimapr eh Akkoma's UI doesn't compare to *key
Sharkey's UI manages to make this one's laptop struggle, in both Firefox and (the more efficient) Chromium, while Akkoma is quite light
@sodiboo

@risc @sodiboo “akkoma”, “light” yeahhhhhno

akkoma is a giant memory leak, i have to keep closing and restarting it because otherwise i have like 400 mb of ram left

and this is with zram swap i will add

@kimapr @risc can confirm Sharkey makes my workstation struggle. no idea about akkoma

@kimapr
wha- okay nevermind. At least it doesn't abuse the JS engine and renderer as much, so progress ig??
@sodiboo

@risc @sodiboo somehow though it doesn’t cause much issues on mobile, other than that it’s the only web app where push notifications don’t fucking work

@sodiboo how the fuck does it manage to murder both a lower end laptop and a high end workstation. what
@kimapr

@risc @kimapr I have a tendency to accidentally leave many Sharkeys open. like 5-8 tabs and that’s my memory GONE

@Rairii @kimapr @risc oh my phone does that regardless of if I use Sharkey or not

@sodiboo
Didn't you have like.. A lot of RAM?? Only thing this one knows related to fedi that was this bad was Tuba, holy fuck it's leaking memory like a toilet leaking water

It was impossible to practically use on this one's 8 GB of RAM+zram for more than a few mins bc the leak kept getting worse. It's like RA but less powerful

@kimapr

@risc @kimapr I have a lot of addressable memory . I gave it like 60 GiB of swap space (for a total of 90 GiB addressable memory) to mitigate specifically Sharkey (and to a lesser extent, Cinny) using it all.

with such a setup, I think I’ve only gotten oomkilled once. but, many times, my system just hard locks up.

@alina ogey

@sodiboo what...
This one is using <<4 GB most of the time even with RA and shit, and also practically never runs into OOM (well, systemd-oomd). How.
@kimapr

@risc @kimapr I am VERY disorganized that’s how

@sodiboo @kimapr @risc oom when it fails the only job it has and locks down the whole system

@MarkAssPandi @kimapr @risc actually it only locks up in userspace. i tested this. all the GUI stuff is in userspace so it feels unresponsive, but i can still ping it. it’s still visible to wireguard peers, because wireguard is in the kernel. but tailscale goes out, since that’s implemented in userspace.

kernel is fine. but my entire userspace is not. when this happens.

@sodiboo @kimapr @risc ah

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @alina@girldick.gay
What do you mean ot free?

@raccoon @alina well it’s free but it has some features that are paid. core functionality is free though and there aren’t like ads or anything. it’s good stuff. I recommend

@sodiboo @risc
(repost)
my instance is on sharkey

and after a year NOTHING changed. all clients still suck.

i use moshidon, it shares most of the issues of megalodon, but ADDITIONALLY it sometimes fails to load feed and just shows blank page with “NO_SUCH_NOTE” text

@cat8124
Wasn't that fixed in a recent hotfix release
@sodiboo

@risc @sodiboo of what?

@cat8124 moshidon
@sodiboo

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @alina@girldick.gay
I was wondering if you meant libre.
I installed it and blocked it from having internet access, just in case.

@cat8124 @sodiboo @risc if closely watching notifications is not a want of yours, I’d recommend Aria for Misskey

it seems to recreate Misskey’s web client design and functionality pretty closely, and it is pretty good at it

biggest issue with it i have is complete lack of push notifications though, so it might suck a lot in some use cases. also lacks some functionality Sharkey has over Misskey, which includes lack of possibility to enable display of specific words that trigger word triggers (like “example said something about “politics””), and that it does not recognize enabling cat ears without cat accent

if push notifs are not needed though i regard is as the best of those i tried

@sodiboo @alina eyyyy, another Niagara user :)

@alina here’s this one’s homescreen

@Chloe @alina 2 email apps and 8 fedi clients is so real

@sodiboo @alina the outlook is for school email, thunderbird for everything else

@Chloe @alina oh I see. that’s more reasonable than my setup. I have 3 mail apps currently and I use website for my school email

@Chloe @alina @sodiboo I wish my school would let me oauth thunderbord so I can just use that ‘til the end of days, but sadly it is never that simple

@minion3665 @sodiboo @alina niagara gang

@sodiboo @alina heyy you use niagara too

@sodiboo realize you might appreciate this - I've put my time/battery in my niri overview and I took some inspiration from niagara - it's beautiful: https://files.freshly.space/share/pak0jwi2rq6n/2025-08-14%2011-27%20niri%20overview%20niagaralike.mp4

@sodiboo am planning to also add events/weather (and brightness/volume/notifications somewhere too) but you know how projects go

@sodiboo @risc @ilyamikcoder i installed aria for misskey right now, its ui feels kind of overloaded

notifications dont work for me anyway because monocles chat’s (or conversations) unifiedpush intergration is broken, so i dont care about it

@cat8124 @sodiboo @risc misskey/sharkey by itself is kind of overloaded, that’s why i think

@ilyamikcoder @sodiboo @risc i feel that aria is more overloaded than misskey/sharkey
