God I could kiss you. It's so weird. People have been just saying what's on their minds in chatrooms, forums, etc since the beginning of the internet, which was never scrutinized this much over being "factual". They were just expressing themselves. But now all of sudden we need a PSA to stop it lol
I feel the same way about RSS feeds. It's a technology meant to keep up with updates on nearly anything across the internet. Even social media sites. It's been available for ages. But no one is pushing for sites to provide them. 🤷♂️
Just Mozilla being Mozilla... Taking forever to get impactful stuff like this released or to fix bugs that have been sitting around for years. Yet quick to add features to the browser most of us don't need.
I like what Mozilla is doing. But they seem to struggle with their priorities.
Yeah, sorry I was specifically replying to part about seeing the content from communities (or everything on the internet, really) in one view. Keeping your identity across multiple forums is platform-specific and would be solved by Lemmy directly. RSS feeds would just give you the updates and the links directly to the content. But once you click through to go to each website, you'd just be using your already-logged-in state on the platform.
you could easily keep your identity across multiple forums and see the content from all your communities on one page
RSS feeds have provided this experience for years. The problem is that a lot of sites stopped serving RSS feeds for their content. But sites like rss.app and openrss can be used to get RSS feeds for sites that don't have them.
Have you tried returning 404 response status codes for the requested URLs? I think federated requests will need for your server to tell them the URLs don't exist anymore.
Dude, who in their right mind would add scheduling infra to a client like that? 😆 I'm going to need these Lemmy devs to have a tad bit more experience before they start being so dismissive, especially to someone who's just trying to help.
This isnt the first time Nutomic has reacted in such a egotistical way, especially when someone points out a flaw in the software. I've seen a few issues that were actual issues with the software--not feature requests--that he's closed and dismissed. One of the issues were mine. He definitely needs help with maintaining the software but I dont know how he expects anyone to help with the way he's been acting.
