[email protected] seems interesting, and it only took me 4 months to find out about it. Dunno if the list of communities it covers is being updated anymore though.

The bot gets its data from https://lemmyverse.net/ - which isn’t aware of https://walledgarden.xyz/. I don’t know why, but there’s a problem with the site that might be related - if you do curl -i --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://walledgarden.xyz/ it errors with ‘transferred a partial file’ whereas it works for any other Lemmy server. It must have worked in the past though, 'cos I was able to subscribe and post to a community on there not long ago.

Garbage in, garbage out. If you look up ‘hansenerd’, they’re at https://shoddy.site/@cg - where it shows they joined in 2042.

Lemmy’s backend should probably be the one to sanitise it rather than each app.

It’s the one where he’d be immortal, and it would show him fighting wars from then until the present day (like what they did with Logan from the X-Men at one point). Maybe it would’ve been shit, I dunno, but I’ll take any kind of proper sequel over a soft-reboot any day (I’m still grumpy about Alien: Romulus).

I heard a podcast about the version of the film they didn’t make for this sequel, involving Russel Crowe’s commissioning a script from Nick Cave. You wouldn’t be able to cast Crowe again nowadays, but it sounded more interesting that what is being released: “Gladiator on steroids” is another way of saying “soft reboot of Gladiator”.

Hmmm. I’d imagine that’s essential for cloudflare to work. You can get their IP addresses if you have a server that is federated with them and you look in your nginx logs (so that ‘if’ is a big IF).

Just matrix.org, like some kind of pleb.

I only have an account so I could join in one room, and that’s the server that the room was on, so I decided to keep things simple.

Voyager is probably the most popular. I like Thunder, personally (both are open-source but Thunder isn’t completely FOSS because of the language it’s written in).

Accidentally replying to a post instead of replying to a comment is a Sync bug (I think it happens if you try to reply via a Notification). I don’t use it, but that app seems a bit unmaintained.

To ping a person, it’s like what you did, but you need to include the instance (e.g. @jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world - most apps should auto-complete it once you start typing)

Ah, I see now, thanks. I didn’t know where the original post was, or I would’ve confirmed. I suppose I could have figured out it was for Forza Horizon in retrospect.

You can get a new line (as opposed to a paragraph) with Lemmy using ‘space space enter’ but I didn’t realise that spoilers don’t even need that.

Eternity’s specific issues around spoilers aside, I think other apps / platforms might struggle with that post because the spoilers aren’t technically formatted correctly - the ::: that ends a spoiler should be on a new line.

lemmy-ui might’ve handled them as the user expected, but anything using a different Markdown library might not (including Lemmy’s own backend when it comes to the HTML content field for federation)

Ah, great, thank you. It’s been added as an Issue for PF now, with a link to this post, so that’ll be handy.

(I was likely misusing the term ‘regex’).

There was a post relating to this the other day: Some explicitly single-user ActivityPub software to check out

How does Piefed handle image attachments, btw?

For comments: not at all. If a Mastodon user tried to do what I did, with the inline image, nothing would show.

We could do what I think you’ve done, and regex the details of the attachment into ! [] () Markdown and add it to the text. There’s also a DB relationship between comments and images that isn’t used, but could be, I suppose.

I’ve never actually seen a Mastodon user try to add an image to something that ended up as a Lemmy comment, tbh, so it’s not something I’ve thought too much about.

I just tried with Masto - maybe there’s different versions, but it didn’t work with the one I tried.

Screenshot:

It’s probably for the best that this PR doesn’t also convert inline Markdown into an attachment to send out for Mastodon’s benefit, because then there would be the danger of apps that understand both showing two images. It’d be better if Mastodon did the translation when receiving stuff, but Mastodon doesn’t seem as good as MBIN when it comes to co-operating with Lemmy.

(edit: how that screenshot shows on MBIN is a bit disappointing though - at least looking at on the web)

Do they work the other way around btw? If someone on Lemmy uses the Markdown for an inline image do they show up on MBIN? I don’t they do on Mastodon.

https://literature.cafe/ is still running.

FWIW: that post is not for 2 communities - it’s for one community (/c/test at sh.itjust.works) and one user (/u/test at lemmy.ml) - I’m guessing that it’s autocompleted to a thing that was different from your intentions.

(edit: the webfinger response from lemmy.ml for ‘test’ returns both a Person and a Group, which Lemmy can deal with, but Mastodon probably can’t, so it just grabbed the first one it saw)

Interesting. Funnily enough, my comments are coming through to Lemmy as ‘Undermined’ too (just a PieFed bug, easily fixed), so the fact that you saw it (as well as the comments by the others I mentioned) means it’s not a language thing. That’s good, in a way, because it should be physically impossible to actually de-select it.

So, sorry - at least we can rule one thing out, but I don’t have any more suggestions.

That community only accepts posts in ‘undermined’ language, so if you aren’t seeing anything from there, but you can when you log out (to simulate everyone else’s view of it), then it’s probably a user setting that prevents you from seeing stuff from that language. If you go to the ‘collapse’ community and posts by ‘Midnight’ are missing, then it’ll be that (similarly there’s a comment here from ‘originallucifer’ - if you haven’t seen it, it’s 'cos of the language thing).
