Thanks for getting back to me,

I’m now also noticing that Blorp handles inbox notifications more efficiently than one other app (don’t need to wait / refresh) and very helpfully colour codes the comment I’m replying to.

I’m using it right now; the experience is generally positive. The only things that I miss when in Blorp that I have access to elsewhere are:

(a) compact view - I tend to be on public transport a lot when using my phone and am therefore prone to shoulder-surfing; would be good if images could be small so as to avoid potential embarrassment

(b) profile information - if there was some way of viewing more detailed user info (eg account age) without leaving the app to view the user source

Everything else about Blorp works really well - the UI is generally minimalist and lightweight, it feels very efficient and free of bloat, it can handle multiple user accounts and it doesn’t come with huge numbers of features that are nice but not really needed (eg multiple app icons).

If any of (a) or (b) are user-error, please let me know.

Thank you for your work on this.

Currently using a mixture of Voyager, Mlem and Blorp - one will win in time.
Blorp also seems to have a desktop app
I also paid for Bean; I found it that good. Have dowloaded Voyager; will play with MLEM as well. Thank you for the suggestion.
That’s still good. If Voyager is Apollo-like I will try that. Thanks!
You… can use Apollo (formerly Reddit) to access Lemmy? How?
Bean Alternatives - Lemmy.World

I found Bean to be the best client - but it’s gone. What’s everyone using instead?

That’s it. We should hand back our “developed country” card.

People will rip off the headsets if the ads are too intrusive and annoying. Which is why they’ll either be dead subtle, or they’ll offer you paid ways to avoid them.

I don’t think there’ll be mass adoption of this either way, mainly because it’s an expensive gadget coming at a time when folks on median incomes are feeling the pinch.
