  • Lemmy doesn't seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of 'other apps'. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn't have it)

  • I don't think it's technically impossible - all the information that another site needs to properly interpret some activity is in the JSON that's sent. I get the sense that it might be unrealistic to expect Mastodon to make the necessary changes though. It seems more of a political issue than a technical one.

  • It's partly an issue of keys. Every fediverse actor has a private key and a public key. When my instance sends this to fediverse@lemmy.world, it's signed by my private key, and lemmy.world uses my public key to verify it. When fediverse@lemmy.world sends this comment out, it uses it's own private key to sign it. It can't just re-transmit my comment, because it doesn't have my private key. All it can do is Announce that I've made the comment (and sign the Announce).

    Mastodon treats Announces as Boosts, so every post/comment is interpreted as a thing that fediverse@lemmy.world has boosted, so you get all these un-connected posts appearing. I think it's mostly up to Mastodon to remedy.

    It works better if a Mastodon actor posts into a Lemmy community, then you get the mix like you imagine. e.g.: https://mastodon.world/@Flash/112095241193510662 (this particular post was crowbarred into Lemmy via !tails@lemmon.website, but it would be the same if the author had done it.)

  • No settings page (as far as I'm aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

    step 1: get login token -

     
        
    curl --request POST \
         --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
         --header 'accept: application/json' \
         --header 'content-type: application/json' \
         --data '
    {
      "username_or_email": "2br02b",
      "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
    }
    '
    
      

    step 2: use login token (big long string starting with 'ey') to get data -

     
        
    curl --request GET \
         --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
         --header 'accept: application/json' \
         --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'
    
      

    Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

  • Edited to account for blahaj updating to 0.19.3 ... hopefully that's the last big instance to change.

    It's been about a week since sh.itjust.works and lemmy.world updated, so results from those instances will start appearing again soon.

  • Voyager has a setting for "No subscribed in All/Local" that does this. It's better on than off, obviously, but it doesn't turn All or Local into some kind of goldmine.

    I get the sense that, unless you're willing to do it yourself, feature requests for Lemmy don't have much chance of being realised.

  • Bit mad, as in a bit strange - e.g. "it's a bit mad to take a single word out of its obvious context for such a desperately cheap shot".

  • Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn't then duplicated to 50 other servers ... yeah, I don't see how that can work.

    (I'm just kidding - your site looks neat.)

  • Oh, yeah, cross-posts are great - I think it's something we're all supposed to be doing. I wouldn't say anything usually - just thought this image might raise questions that the creator could perhaps answer.

  • (sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy. The link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website is attributed to the author of the image, so you can reply to them via that community if you wish.

  • (sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy - this one technically wasn't, but it seems Lemmy has picked up on it. If you want some ALT text, and to reply to author of this image, the link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website provides that.

  • Errr ... I want to say it was in Captain America, but I was being vague 'cos I can't really remember. I wasn't expecting to be quizzed on it tbh.

  • The crawler at lemmyverse.net has picked up on an ngrok URL I've used for messing around with Lemmy. I was using it last night to play with PieFed, and saw it make about 20 attempts to read an API that isn't there. I thought - oh, I wonder if that will break it - and sure, enough, there wasn't a 6:00 update from it this morning. Ho hum.

  • These are pretty neat. Considering that close-up shots of hands are usually filmed separately (often with someone else's hands*), you can probably do similar things with lots of other movies.

    • my favourite one is in an Avengers film, where Black Widow presses a button, and the close-up is clearly a man's hand.
  • Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

    Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don't think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

  • This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It's always been free for that - it's just, you know, you'd have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

  • In my mind, 'Ripley' is Sigourney Weaver in Alien. Whereas I don't think this guy will stand a chance against a Xenomorph.
