    Lemmy doesn’t seem to get much recognition in the wider Fediverse - it tends to get bundled as part of ‘other apps’. Mastodon is much bigger, so better integration with Lemmy probably gets deprioritised below their own issues and feature requests (e.g. I was reading today that Markdown support is often requested, but the base version still doesn’t have it)

    It’s partly an issue of keys. Every fediverse actor has a private key and a public key. When my instance sends this to fediverse@lemmy.world, it’s signed by my private key, and lemmy.world uses my public key to verify it. When fediverse@lemmy.world sends this comment out, it uses it’s own private key to sign it. It can’t just re-transmit my comment, because it doesn’t have my private key. All it can do is Announce that I’ve made the comment (and sign the Announce).

    Mastodon treats Announces as Boosts, so every post/comment is interpreted as a thing that fediverse@lemmy.world has boosted, so you get all these un-connected posts appearing. I think it’s mostly up to Mastodon to remedy.

    It works better if a Mastodon actor posts into a Lemmy community, then you get the mix like you imagine. e.g.: https://mastodon.world/@Flash/112095241193510662 (this particular post was crowbarred into Lemmy via !tails@lemmon.website, but it would be the same if the author had done it.)

    No settings page (as far as I’m aware), but you can use the API to get everything (posts, comments, etc):

    step 1: get login token -

    curl --request POST \
     --url https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "username_or_email": "2br02b",
  "password": "YOUR-PASSWORD"
}
'

    step 2: use login token (big long string starting with ‘ey’) to get data -

    curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user?username=2br02b&page=1' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR-JWT'

    Increment page number until you have everything. source: https://lemmy.readme.io/reference/get_user

  • freamon@endlesstalk.orgtomovies@lemm.ee•How ‘The Creator’ Director Gareth Edwards Used VFX to Make $80M Look Like $200MEnglish

    I re-watched Chappie recently. I’d already read someone say that The Creator gave them Elysium vibes, and then realized - there’s a fair bit of Chappie in The Creator too. Add that to the fact that Rogue One was supposed to ‘the District 9 of Star Wars’, and it suggests that Edwards’ strange goal is to be Britain’s version of Neill Blomkamp.

    He’s already tried to re-invent VFX-led film-making once - Monsters looks like a 10M, but it was made for about half a million. The people involved in that film thought it would change the industry. It didn’t, because there’s more things going on that balloon blockbuster budgets up, until they all cost around 200M.

    As for The Creator, he may have saved 120M from the production budget, but a few million spent on pre-production script development was what it really needed.

    I think it’s because spoiler tags in lemmy have been custom-made for some reason, whereas all the other stuff is standard markdown. Voyager is a web app, so it can maybe only render whatever the engine it relies on can render.

    Edit: Turns out I’m 2 for 2 on making incorrect statements in this comment.

    I’ve compiled lemmy a few times - it’s fairly straightforward. I’ve tried to compile kbin before, but gave up bored and pissed off with the instructions - they seem endless, and like a big list of ‘edit this file’ (with no indication for whether you’re adding or updating info), ‘now edit this file’, ‘now go back and edit the first file again’. I know mbin isn’t kbin, but the instructions are the same.

    I was trying because someone from there subscribed to a community I made just using ActivityPub, but nothing I’ve sent there has actually appeared. If you send the wrong stuff to lemmy, it errors. It’s not always the most useful message, but it’s at least a ‘400 Bad Request’, not the ‘200 OK {}’ you get back from kbin. What does it want? Does it not like ‘Create/Page’? Is there a problem with the content? I don’t know, because I can’t [be bothered to] compile it, and the tech specs for these 'bins lead to a 404.
