(that link needs the ‘https’ part in to work)

The act of making a first post or comment is all that’s required for other instances to become aware of yours. Your site is already in their /instances page and at places like https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/redlemmy.com

From what I can tell re join-lemmy, the list there is just for that site, and it’s fed by the lemmy-stats-crawler (you’ll be able to see it in your nginx logs). There’s a restriction of needing 5+ active users a month though, which it doesn’t look like your site quite meets.

For movies and shows to a VPS, I’d install a command-line IRC client (like weechat) and get stuff using XDCC.

I used to have a bot that uploaded stuff to Google drive and mega for plebs on Reddit to download, and that what the bot used to get the content in the first place.

Federation delay from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world:

(It’s been a pattern of spiking up to almost 2 days before recovering).

It’s a LW problem (that they are aware of), and it’s unrelated to whether a comment has images or not.

Yeah - I was disagreeing with the OP. I quoted BB because later on they said “I’ve not even HINTED at banning you [from the community]”

If you continue to report opinions and simple disagreements as misinformation, we will take action against your account for report abuse, same as we would any account.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to interpret that as a threat to ban the account.

Oh okay. Might be though, in the future, if platforms (like Sublinks) get released - it’s not really a relevant issue at the mo.

I assume this was a song for which they released an acapella version, because I’ve heard it used on Mash-Up albums by the likes of Girl Talk (that’s the only place I’ve heard it, tbh).

I couldn’t really do justice to his opinions about things like that. I just replied because I recognised your name, and wanted to let you know that the software / instance wouldn’t be a good fit for you.

They must have been talking about the Lemmy devs (the main PieFed dev is a lefty but no-one has ever accused him of being a tankie). To give you an idea: piefed.social blocks lemmygrad and hexbear, but it also block hilariouschaos (set up by the old exploding-heads guys).

You can’t, no. PieFed and Lemmy are operating in similar spaces, but are completely different architecturally. PieFed doesn’t yet have an API. Unlike Lemmy (and a lot of other modern web platforms), it doesn’t need one to operate, so copying Lemmy’s to the extent that you’d be able to plug in something like Voyager would be overkill. It would probably also be against the TOS for Voyager (Jerboa actively prevents it’s use with anything other than Lemmy, even if the API is the same).

For clarity, it’s not Lemmy that uses ‘Article’. I can’t remember what does, friendica maybe?
Lemmy uses ‘Page’ for posts, and ‘Note’ for comments.
Mastodon uses ‘Note’ for both, with ‘inReplyTo’ used to distinguish whether Lemmy would call it a ‘Page’. It uses ‘Question’ for polls.
Pixelfed also uses ‘Note’, with an ‘Image’ type attachment (I thinks Loops is similar, just with a ‘Video’ type attachment).
PeerTube uses ‘Video’.
Funkwhale uses ‘Album’ and ‘Playlist’
CastoPod uses ‘PodcastEpisode’

There’s no one universal ActivityPub server because the Fediverse is based on a broken promise: i.e. that you should be able to use whatever service, to interact with whatever other one. You very often can’t, because ActivityPub hasn’t been implemented by each platform as some universal thing, it’s been co-opted by each to serve it’s own purposes. Lemmy best federates with other Lemmy instances, following Lemmy’s way of doing stuff, but a good chuck of the Fediverse follows a different model, and is receiving their activity and quietly discarding it because it doesn’t know what to do with it. If all the Lemmy instances suddenly chose to use a different protocol than ActivityPub, most people wouldn’t notice the difference.

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.

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, 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.
