The Fediverse deserves a dumb graphical client
I love the Fediverse. I have been on it for years, and it remains the only social network where I actually enjoy spending time. No algorithmic feed pushing outrage, no dark patterns, no surveillance capitalism. Just people talking to each other over an open protocol.
But every time I wanted to recommend it to someone, I ran into the same wall: the clients are heavy. Mastodon's web interface ships megabytes of JavaScript. Elk, Phanpy, Ivory, beautiful apps, but they require a modern browser, a fast connection, and a device manufactured in the last five years ...

- Style nav menu with active link

Und das ganze noch mittels Markdown formatiert.

With #SmolFedi 1.2.0 it is possible to use OOB copy/paste login mode for old browsers.
compatibility with #dillo
Dillo blocks cookies by default, which prevents sessions from persisting. Allow cookies for your SmolFedi domain:
echo "yourdomain.example ACCEPT" >> ~/.dillo/cookiesrc
Replace yourdomain.example with the hostname of your SmolFedi instance. Restart Dillo after editing the file.
For instances that cannot be reached directly from the Dillo machine (e.g. when the old computer has no modern TLS support), use the copy/paste mode on the login page: check the box, copy the authorization URL shown, open it in a capable browser to get a code, then paste the code back in Dillo.
i've seen a few lightweight Fedi clients, but until now i'd not seen one i could actually consider using on a day-to-day basis. now i have - thank you @adele for smolfedi!

Hello from smolfedi on #NetSurf!!
This is the lightest browser I could get working (had auth problems with every other #smol browser I tried).
It kinda lacks keyboard navigation badly (NetSurf, that is), but I'm still liking #SmolFedi a lot, and am looking forward to trying it on my sixteen-year-old #OpenBSD #Thinkpad. ;)
Maybe the excellent #Dillo browser dev can poke at it? ;) @dillo

Edit: try #SmolFedi :
"The Orion capsule carrying the Artemis II astronauts will be travelling at more than 11 km/s (40,000 km/h) when it reaches Earth’s atmosphere. This is 40 times faster than a passenger jet travels."
Wishing the Artemis II crew a safe return home!
Yeah! #SmolFedi v1.0.9 has new features !
- Add a prefs page
- Add font size preference
- Manage multiple formats for posts (plain, markdown...) according to the instance capabilities
- Possibility to pin/unpin tag to the menu
- Manage Content warning and Sensitive media
- Correct hashtag link detection/rewrite
- Video max width
- Delete post button in red
#SmolFedi 1.0.7 manages user defined Lists of profiles. A new entry in the menu for each list. And possibility to add/remove a profile in lists.
(at the moment, you can only use existing lists, nothing to create or delete one)
I think #SmolFedi will be my preferred #Fediverse client on my smartphone and my old tablet. Very lightweight, fast, useful. I wonder why I should use something else.
Let me know which missing feature would be a must have.
(if it had poll editor, I’d propose some :-D )
