JDim

JDim is an open-source Linux application for browsing the Japanese textboard 2channel. It belongs to the Communication category and is intended for users who read and participate in textboard discussions. The program is a fork of JD, retaining a compatible look and feel along with compatible environment settings.

JDim can fetch updated posts and supports posting messages from within the application. It includes tools for hiding posts containing unwanted words, entering ASCII art, and viewing discussions in play-by-play mode. Mouse gestures, linked-image display, bookmarks, and history provide additional ways to navigate and review content.

The application supports URL filters, thread-title searches, and keyword searches within threads. It can also work with external boards and offers extensive customization options. These features make it suited to users who want a dedicated Linux client for reading, searching, filtering, and contributing to 2channel discussions.

MirrorNest distributes the official JDim build directly from its own storage. Each mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication. This places JDim in MirrorNest’s Linux software catalog as an open-source Communication application.
