Fair enough. I'm not trying to recruit you, or present rivalries where none exist. We can communicate reasonably well regardless of whatever platform we prefer, which is the whole point of this Fediverse thingy anyway.
Well, it won't help you (or me), but the the most active is probably https://hexbear.net/c/ama (the lemmy.world seems to have got nuked, and the already-mentioned lemmy.ca one is the only other one I found)
Nice. The thumbnail image reminded me of an Open Pandora, which similarly looked like a chunky DS and ran Linux (it was mostly intended for playing emulated games). The Pandora was never that repairable though, in the sense that it was mostly a system on a chip.
Before I even looked, I thought that I bet this device is more expensive than I'd assume - the crowdfunding site is listing prices roughly between $1000 and $1500.
PieFed has some design principles, including being accessible on lower-end devices and for those with unreliable bandwidth, which mean that it's default UI is never going to look like apps which involve downloading a sizable chunk of Typescript.
I'm okay with its look. Partly because it's themeable, and there's a theme called 'Card Shadow' which looks more modern imo. And partly because Lemmy can feel quite slow showing 20 posts at a time, whereas PieFed throws 100 at a time. And also because there will eventually be an API, allowing people to view it how they want (similar to Lemmy - lemmy-ui is maybe not that great, but there's other frontends which I think are an improvement)
That's a different Jerry! (Jerry Bell)
He's posted before that Day 1 sales covered the cost the device itself, so a decent chuck of everything after that will have been pure profit. It was probably always doomed, what with YouTube being YouTube, so it doesn't look like he's too shaken up about it.
All the links in this post already have that attribute, so I guess it's already added.
HBO Max, for the brief period of time it existed, had a more fitting 'bumper'. Hacks, which started out as a 'Max Original' still had it in season 3, but The Penguin, which was a Max Original until it wasn't, has the fuzzy version (I've had players that struggle with it a bit, but I doubt HBO gives a shit about the quality of my experience pirating their stuff)
Oh. I subscribed to this post because I hoped someone would be able to give an answer too.
It's been a day, so before I forget and on the basis that some answer is better than none at all, I'll have a crack:
400 Bad Request isn't much to worry about, it doesn't mean anything is malfunctioning and it can happen for a gazillion reasons. One is you've joined a new community and someone Likes a comment you don't have (particularly if it's nested in other comments you also don't have). Another is if someone Likes a post or comment by a user on an instance that you've defederated from (your instance is defed'd from lemmygrad and hexbear whereas lemmy.ml isn't)
As for 499, that seems to be a client issue, and that client mostly seems to be beehaw, who are stuck on an old Lemmy version and being increasingly wonky (in the other direction, they often reply in HTML rather than JSON and randomly decide that their communities' inboxes don't exist, so I wouldn't worry about stuff from them either)
Hello sorcerer. Please erase "Man, I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain. It annoys me anyway, but it not like it makes being a woman sound especially inspiring either ("Colour my hair, do what I dare" - woah, slow down there Shania!). Thanks.
Yeah. There's no wildcard call. One thing you could do to script it would be pull JSONs from https://data.lemmyverse.net - use one for the initial effort, then subsequent ones to track new communities. You'd definitely want to filter it - as you've noticed the vast majority of that 30k are dead or spam or something you wouldn't want for one reason or another (e.g. communities from instances you've defederated from).
As for what bots do, it depends on how they were programmed I suppose. There's a bonkers one on https://leaf.dance that just seems to crawl comments and subscribe to any ! links it finds, but there are others (I can't remember their names) where it's more of a manual job (the mods of a community submit the details to it).
Oh, right. I was confused by this before, but I understand it now after reading yours and Otters answers, and seeing https://rss.ponder.cat/c/medicine@lemmy.ca - the bot posts to its local version of a remote community, and it federates out like it it normally does.
Am I right in assuming that - API wise - the bot only interacts with ponder.cat, and doesn't make calls to the remote instance? (I'm wondering if there's any barriers to it operating with communities that aren't on a Lemmy instance).
Does the bot resolve the human first, check what they moderate, and then resolve the community if they moderate it, or just always resolve the community, and then compare its moderators with who made the request? If its the latter, this could be a way for bad actors to crowbar a community onto your instance (assuming it doesn't purge it if things don't match up, of course).
What would have happened if Otter had sent
/add https://lemmy.ca/feeds/c/medicine.xml medicine@lemmy.ca
? Would this be like that time when someone put 'google' into google.com, and the Internet blew up?Thanks.
