Try https://b.piefed.social/ instead! Log in with the same username and password as piefed.social.
It works best on a phone / tablet but on a desktop it’s fine too once you switch to compact mode.
It can be installed as a PWA.
There are also lots of themes you can try at https://piefed.social/user/settings. Here are some screenshots of them - https://join.piefed.social/screenshots/
Probably should include the name of the software you’re using and credit the dev:
Blorp by @moseschrute@lemmy.world
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.
E: the dev literally wouldn’t even be here if I hadn’t tagged them, because they were not mentioned anywhere, nor was the name or source of the software they created.
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.
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.

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.
I don’t plan on adding credits, but if I did it would definitely be video game style auto scroll just for the lols
Something like
Would be fun ha ha
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.
Thought about it. Blorp is a client side rendered app. It makes it really easy to host since it’s just a collection of static html, JS, and CSS files, but not the best for SEO. From what I can tell, Google’s crawler can run JS but I don’t think Bing (which I think DuckDuckGo is based on?) can.
It’s pretty difficult trying to share 99% code between web and “native” iOS/Android apps. I decided early on that SEO would add one too many constraints with not enough benefit. But SEO aside, I think linking back to the software somewhere in the UI would be nice so users can learn more about the app they’re using.
