I’ll admit to assuming he must be kind of a cool nerd for naming some of his SpaceX things after Culture ships (from Iain M. Banks’ novels), but now I feel sullied by association from having enjoyed the same books.
On lemmy, accessing it through the website, click on your username in the top-right, and choose ‘settings’. On that page, choose Export in the ‘Import/Export Settings’ section. This will give you a file to save to your computer.
On piefed, go to Account->Edit profile & settings, and use the ‘Import’ button to choose the file you just saved.
This will import your followed communities and blocked users.
Your instance rejects Follow requests from instances not on your ‘Allow list’, which is a pretty small list.
Edit: the list has since been expanded.
It depends. It seems like Lemmy batches up its activity to send to remote instances - so, per instance, it sleeps for a bit, then sends what it has. If both a Create and an Update are in the same batch, Lemmy just sends the Update. If they don’t happen to be in the same batch though, it sends both activities.
(this is outsider observation, not insider knowledge)
This is a great list. Note, though, that lemmyverse.net (and by extension, !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl) are less useful at the current moment than before because lemmyverse needs an update before it can crawl the increasing numbers of instances on 0.19.4 or above.
‘subscribe to anything’ is handy, too. I’m subscribed to this post, for instance, so get notifications of new top-level comments.
You’re right about the cause: Lemmy’s front-end isn’t giving its backend enough time to do everything it needs to do for an unfamiliar commentary.
It works better if you copy / paste the link into Search. MBin effectively redirects all these links to its Search anyway, so maybe that’s an option.
I think virtualizing the python environment (with venv
) has become quite common, although my only evidence is that the server I’m using to send this was written in Python and uses one.
It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.
Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.
That’s the book I was referring to, yep.
I think most bread that’s available to buy is actually junk. Even the ‘wholemeal’ stuff, which itself obfuscates what you actually want: wholegrain. Ideally, the carbs percentage shouldn’t be more than 5 times the fibre percentage (according to the ‘How not to die’ book), but I’ve found that very little that actually meets that.
This is why people can become obese without understanding why: the over-processing of food considered as staples.
This isn’t really my area, but I’ll have a crack. From what I understand, Lemmy uses the ‘meta og:image’ tag to grab a thumbnail. Inspecting your site, I can see that that tag is in the html head. However, if you just ‘curl’ the URL, then it isn’t in the results. Using ‘curl’ for URLs from sites that are known to work in terms of generating thumbnails (theguardian and bbc), the tag is visible in the result.
This suggests that your site is using further scripting on page load to provide the meta tags, whereas perhaps Lemmy can only get them if they are provided immediately. There are other sites (like Reuters), who use additional scripting, that Lemmy is unable to get thumbnails for also (e.g. https://lemmy.world/post/16203031)
It probably is. I’d tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.
Remote instances make their own copy of anything sent to them, so visibility isn’t affected by whatever happens on the original server.
You can see for yourself by visiting something like /c/headphones@lemmy.film (that instance died ages ago)
Re: sorting posts not working - I don’t know. It looks like you’ve deleted the post you made about ‘sorting of posts not aligned’
Re: communities not updated - I found your GIF hard to follow, but there’s a straight-forward difference between the post list you’re seeing on lemm.ee and on programming.dev, in that the missing posts are all tagged ‘English’. (If you looked at lemm.ee when you’re logged out, you’d see the same list as on programming.dev).
I assume you’ve fixed it now, since this post is in English, but to recreate what lemmy-ui is doing:
#!/bin/bash
show_post=true
lang_id_undefined="0"
lang_id_english="37"
for page in {1..17}
do
curl --silent "https://lemm.ee/api/v3/post/list?community_id=8024&page=$page&limit=50" |
jq -rc '.posts[] | .post.language_id, .post.name' |
while read line
do
if [ "$line" == "$lang_id_english" ]; then show_post=false; continue; fi
if [ "$line" == "$lang_id_undefined" ]; then show_post=true; continue; fi
if $show_post; then echo $line; fi
done
page=page+1
done
The video was recording a VM that had been tunnelled through to with ngrok, so the HTTP details were from that software’s ‘Inspect’ window.
(I don’t know how best to configure your server to ignore the errors, because Rust is too scary, ha ha).
