The regex redirect feature is another massive pro. I hope they bring it into Orion as well.

I already use Stop the Madness for this, and probably will continue to as it’s a more global solution, but having it built right into the search engine at least shows they’re taking real steps to hand control back to the user.

Oh I didn’t mean to imply otherwise - Overcast is awesome.

I guess I worded my question poorly. I’m more asking if there’s any way to block trackers without blocking the entire podcast.

The stream/download just hangs, or errors out because it “cannot connect to creep.noteventhehost.fm” or whatever - just won’t load at all until I unblock and it’s able to do its dirty work.

Not sure if this is even within the capabilities of a client… I’m starting to think not, and that I’ve asked a stupid question lol

I don’t want to pile on, you guys are doing a great job

Immediately for me though, since you asked:

• ability to see which instance I’m logged into at a glance (memmy has this in the feed topbar)
• inbox functionality
• search (communities, posts, users, all)
• other user profile pages (incl ability to message, block)
• tap to open images, pinch zoom, save/share
• markdown buttons in the text editor

Missing from both:

• ability to hide thumbnails in compact mode
• text size scaler
• ability to hide read / swipe to hide individual posts
• swipe from device right to go forward (like device left goes back)
• own profile page with ability to see all my posts and comments, edit/delete, saved items etc.

Memmy was easily my app of choice, but these are some big improvements so it’s between these two for sure now.

Each has important features the other doesn’t, but both are steaming ahead at a record pace. I know all about how the tiniest feature can take ages to code properly, so I’m really appreciative of all the work being poured into making lemmy more friendly.

Especially for us who had apollo set up just right for all our own personal idiosyncrasies lol

Thunder is too far behind to compete right now, but damn if the front runners aren’t setting the bar high
