    In this comment thread, you will find old gitlab issues for this and attempts to get tildes dockerized. There was a previous attempt here that got pretty far, but the guy never kept it updated.

    AFAIK, it will be a very in depth process to transfer over to docker from vagrant at this point in time, and will require ongoing maintenance.

    Does it let you filter out certain keywords and whatnot? My main use case with apollo was filtering out political news that I don't care for.

    That sucks to hear. At least the dev has been implementing changes quickly, I hope that a report feature comes out soon.

    OW2 was a thinly veiled move towards in-app purchases, battlepasses, and microtransactions.

    Hey man, great work. Is it directly web scraping the posts?

    I twiddled with an app and was struggling to display the nested comments properly, so good work. I really like it so far! I just thought I could share some ideas, as I don't think my app is going anywhere.

    To support visiting communities, maybe you could make the ~community tag clickable. You could then load a new view with the tildes url and just append that community name on the end.

    Some things to note from my discoveries while scraping tildes:

    When inside a community, none of the posts will show that ~community tag. I added a fallback to my script, where if a post was missing that tag, it would grab it from the top of the page. It is a div with the classname "site-header-context"

    I notice the app doesn't support tags just yet. Tags are tricky. Here is how I parsed the tag elements using beautiful soup 4 and python3.
    *throw it into chatgpt and convert it to swift perhaps

    li_tag_elements = soup.select('li[class*="label-topic-tag"]')
                tag_list = []
    
                if li_tag_elements:
                    tag_list = [li.get_text(strip=True) for li in li_tag_elements]
    

    Things I would like to see added (coming from Apollo):
    Swipe from the side action (like upvoting a comment by swiping it left

    I would like to be able to see my own profile

    I would like to be able to load a post from URL (inside safari, share, open in "app name")
