I think thats why it would be an opt in or moderator service. Like a dropdown or something that a mod can pop in, set for a time, then remove when people behave.

If a subset of users are posting say once ever 10 minutes, it floods the system/community pretty badly. Regardless if its lemmy/piefed/etc…etc… Ive seen comics get flooded a couple of times from people (probably in good nature) post the ENTIRE comic (hundreds of posts) in a couple days time. It makes new very difficult to manage until the mods would come in.

Comments dont typically have the same issues, so I think posts should be were we draw the line. But again the way I see it, it will be optional and a tool to mitigate a user from posting too many posts per day in one community.

An Auto-mod tool might be good to start with? Not sure. Last time I messed with piefed and lemmy, piefed was easier to hook into the code and lemmy was easier on the API side. So the auto-mod tool could possibly start working on lemmy? I dunno, its been a while. Im probably going to try piefed first and see what works on my small instance.

All conjecture until I find the time/motivation.

Most of this stuff is volunteer work. 99.99% of people are using the respective platforms respectfully.

The changes come from you and me. So if you want to see a change, make it happen. The amount of people actually developing these platforms are VERY small actually.

That is a cool idea. Thanks im gonna do some research now.

Im tempted to code a solution in piefed/lemmy so community moderators can put rules in place for max number of posts per day. Comics got tremendously better when they implemented the max 2 a day posts. Or maybe instance wide as well?

It made it so communities were not overrun with posts/bots.

Yep. And more distros support so theres more incentive to fix any issues that have popped up. Plus theres more c devs in the world than rust.

Im so happy work stopped using ubuntu server after last time.

Also how the heck do you break cp of all things.

I dont want to experiment with core utils.

Desktop. 151.0.4 (64-bit)

Ah ok cool.

Im using Firefox so that may affect it as well.

Its all good. Looks like a fun project! GLHF

Neat!

Looks like gotosocial isnt on there.

Looks like the sort function here: https://fedigraph.fyi/platforms/ doesn’t work. You cant sort by DESC or ASC. If a user clicks the button all platforms just stay the same.

When you click into a platform, the search on that page also doesn’t work. It only allows one char and then starts searching immediately.

Is this the project: https://github.com/FedGraph/fedgraph/commits/main/ ?

Dang yeah something is happening there.

Gonna be honest i dont care enough to make it. But gl!

You could be the finance guy instead of just an idea guy 😉

Oh interesting! I like the design. Ive been looking for something that can combine more fediverse stuff together into one coherent whole. I like the inclusion of the calendar.

Ive had that issue with lemmy.world a while back. What I did to fix it was subscribe to my own account (gotosocial/lemmy) and then it started accepting the posts/comments. Im not 100% sure why but if I were to guess its something to do with vetting the servers somehow. Maybe?

Not sure if its the best client api but looks like theres a couple of APIs that work with lemmy: https://github.com/db0/pythorhead

Throw that onto cron/scheduler as a proof of concept and have at it.

I believe piefed has something like that? I know it has Events with dates/times/etc…

You can probably code something up with the API. Im not sure about the scheduling on lemmy but I think piefed is cron based?

If I dont like something, I can pop in and make my own alternative or fix said thing on the platform with a PR. Ive donated code to a couple of federated projects. Small things that matter to me and in all cases the real people behind the code accepted the PRs. Thats nice.

Its not all or nothing. I can see mastodon posts on the threadiverse and back again. Its all about how YOU want to interact with everyone else! We have MUCH more options than the conventional social media with all the benefits thereof.

I also like that I can just pick up and leave. Ive done it a couple of times, not because something sucked, but because I liked something more.

Limited time games do this quite often. Its fun to get physical media.

Nginx.

It runs everything at home and at work.

Yep. Agreed.

Its a joke. Piefed. Pie-fed.
