Anything from https://lemmon.website is me too.
Lemmy and PeerTube hasn’t worked for a few months now - you’ll have to fetch the vids manually if you want 'em.
There nothing wrong from PT’s end - they fed with PieFed (e.g. the Linux experiment channel is here assuming your UI doesn’t redirect you), MBIN (I believe), and Mastodon, but some change in Lemmy broke something.
Old post about it: https://lemmy.ml/post/15180175
The ‘real user’ and the ‘private voter’ are 2 different accounts as far a external instances are concerned, but only 1 as far as piefed.social is concerned. So if you banned either one, it would have the same effect, because PF would locate the same account from the information provided.
Likewise, a piefed user can’t vote twice on something, they make one vote, and then the ‘private voting’ setting determines how it is sent out. The local system has tracked that they have voted, and changing the setting won’t change that.
There’s always more work to do of course, but piefed.social is a small instance, with manual approval required for registration, no API to script things like mass downvoting, and concepts such as ‘attitude’ which would prevent that anyway, so I can’t foresee anything too disastrous happening from this little experiment.
Random string, yeah, like https://piefed.social/u/WYJH5o7OGkbgtxA
No, the other account isn’t something you can log into or interact with. PieFed knows whether I’ve already voted on something, so it won’t let me vote again by changing the ‘vote privately’ setting.
My experience from when my backend server died, and Lemmy instances were getting a 502 response to ActivityPub POST activity, they eventually stopped sending anything. They kept trying to GET stuff though (user account details, nodeinfo responses), and lemmy.ml has never stopped POSTing, even though I configured nginx to always respond 403 to anything from them for about a year now.
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)
I wouldn’t do this personally, but if I did, I think I’d at least pipe the results to head -n 1 to only act on the first result.
Please use your mander account to inform OP that their instance is wildly behind .world - see here
The delay and eventual deletion of comments and votes will have an obvious effect on mander’s “hot” and “active” algos.
If you look at this post on mander, it’s not got any of the comments, so there’s no point anyone using a .world community to answer OP’s question.
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.
That’s great to hear. There’s zero API at the moment though, let alone a stable one. PieFed is a monolith, without the backend / front-end split that necessitates an API.
It easy to add one, pending the addition of some missing features and a code reorganization that needs to happen anyway. At that point, hopefully some interested app developers will also be involved, to shape the API into something they may wish that other app’s APIs were like.
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.
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)
There seems to be some decent channels that are local to that instance (some PeerTube integration was recently added to PieFed, so I’m going by the list on this post ). From there, you can watch stuff from other instances, if course.
I think it’s more just for discovery. They provide a guide here which recommends https://tilvids.com/ as a PeerTube instance you can sign up with.
https://fedi.video/ has organised a bunch of channels into playlists that has some crossover with your topic list.
Thanks for this. I tried to watch a video from ‘shifter’ but there never seems to be enough bandwidth (even on 360p). I can see other people have managed though, so maybe it’s a location thing (I’m in the UK)
https://fedi.video is a useful resource.
I’ve already added !andybalaam_lectures@diode.zone and !doc@peertube.biz to PieFed.
(Lemmy users may be interested to know that the Tesseract frontend also embeds the videos)
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
Yeah, it’s the strange thing about engaging post titles - people seem to be so busy answering them, they ‘forget’ to also upvote them. In contrast, a meme that’s funny but about which there’s not much to say, is more likely to get an upvote as some kind of compensation for the lack of discussion.
