This might encourage them. According to romance books, teenage girls are really into creatures that bite their neck

It may be a little overly negative, I use mastodon, I just don’t find it useful to publish my stuff on

It’s like two 2 js functions, I can dm you the code if you want

Hey I’m the coship guy (coshipmate?). I also found out the hard way the lemmy api doesn’t respond if you’re missing some parameters. Actually the most helpful thing was opening up photon and just seeing the network requests it sent.

I’ve used a few platforms in my life and am currently mainly on Mastodon and Pixelfed, but Reddit, the role model for Lemmy, was never one of them. It seemed very confusing and complex to me and I had the same feeling with Lemmy. It’s all a bit different from Mastodon, but that’s mainly because you have to deal with another level here, the communities.

Yeah funny how that works. I find twitter, and thus mastodon very confusing. There’s no organization or discoverability except what’s added on by hashtags (very inconsistent) or algorithms (don’t exist on mastodon).

Lemmy doesn’t care about users, only communities. You can’t even follow them (which can be quite annoying when things like wordpress join the fediverse, but make blogs “users” even though they can have multiple authors, and now you can’t follow them through lemmy)

If these businesses wouldn’t switch to a newer version of windows, what makes you think they’ll switch to arch or any linux distro?

Dude this is 10x simpler than WordPress

Am I going crazy or is that the framework ceo in that stock photo?

It works with anything lemmy works with, so yes

Hey aren’t you the duckquill dev?

Update: I think I see the problem, comments are too wide on small screens. I’ll see if I can fix it

It should work on mobile. What problem are you seeing?

Yeah I could add that.

as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.

Well I’d have to load something to show this, unless I set it manually, which would be cumbersome.

I get the idea, but it’s my home instance, so it’d be kinda weird for me to use a different one. Also would add an extra step

Wdym cannot be touched?

Drop a link! I’d like to see it

Lol, don’t blame the duckquill dev, he only wrote the mastodon one, which I don’t use. This is all me.

So I suppose there’s an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you’ll eventually find that you’ve re-invented a front-end, and there’s no end to it.

Yeah, I kinda chose the limits arbitrarily, but I don’t expect them to be an issue anytime soon.

This setup is also more flexible. I can in the future add comments from multiple lemmy posts, as well as other completely different sites.

Possible sure, but aside from the effort to make such a bot, posting to my own community would mean that very few people would see it, aside from those who already follow the blog. I have to pick a lemmy community, at which point I may as well do the rest of the work too. Now maybe I could have an llm analyze my post, fetch a list of communities, and then pick a likely one, but honestly this is getting too complicated

I was, but honestly there’s not much to write without getting into the specifics of parsing the lemmy api, because it’s literally just a fetchcall and then turning the response into nice html

Fediverse integration would require me to run, pay for and maintain a federated server. This takes me 50 lines of Javascript on a completely static site that cloudflare runs for free. It’s just so much easier

Nice! That works too
