    Right now, I can’t give you an exact timeline. The current state of the master branch (the nightly builds) is less than ideal. It will require some time to make it less buggy and sluggish.

    I could, however, put together a minor release from the patches we already have there but building on the 0.1.2 release. This would include the new sorting types and instance blocking introduced in Lemmy 0.19.









  • This reminds me of one of my older projects. I wanted to learn more about network communications, so I started working on a simple P2P chat app. It wasn’t anything fancy, but I really enjoyed working on it. One challenge I faced was that, at the time, I didn’t know how to listen for user input while handling network communication simultaneously. So, after I had managed to get multiple TCP sockets working on one thread, I thought, why not open another socket for HTTP communication? That way, I could incorporate a fancy web UI instead of just a CLI interface.

    So, I wrote a simple HTTP server, which, in hindsight, might not have been necessary.
