overview for blawsybogsy

I just implemented a user overview of mixed posts and comments, but I'm unsure how to do so while respecting sort (hot, new, old, etc.). Currently I merge the user's comments and posts into a list, then sort them all by timestamp.

Because sorting is handled on the server, and merging posts/comments happens after, I can't see how I can't respect sort and still merge the two sets. Does anyone have any pointers?

I expect a similar issue would arise for the unified inbox view also (replies, mentions, and private messages), although in that case there's less need to sort by anything other than recency.

EDIT: here's the relevant ts code in the official lemmy ui. it sorts by date if sort is new, which i already do, then otherwise it just sorts by "score".

it'd be helpful to post to sth like masto yeah, as its much more public facing than matrix.

ensure child comments are displayed in post view? in c/lemmydev@lemm.ee

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

ah i solved it, it's that the max_depth arg has no sane default, so a client needs to set it manually. currently the server has a hard 300 max value i think.

Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

blocking instances for users was added in 0.19. it works like community block: you don't see any posts from an instance, but you can see the activity of users from that instance on any other instances where they do stuff.

[this is not an endorsement of deferating with any meta product. i believe in deplatforming hostile actors, which they've well and truly proven themselves to be.]

no one else is having issues with this?

Show Lemmy: I hacked together a website showing the Lemmy, Mastodon, etc instances that block Zuckerberg's Threads.net in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago

i read the page title, then looked at first result and it was mastodon.social and second was mstdn.social.

mayb for your site to match its title you want to not make "federated" the default status sort option?

ensure child comments are displayed in post view? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 10 months ago by blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml to c/lemmydev@lemm.ee

2 comments fedilink

currently my client displays child comments/replies to a given comment based on a get-comments request and the sort arg. if a child comment is returned by such a request, it will be included as part of the tree, but otherwise not. it means the child is subject to sorting itself.

but what is needed is that if a parent comment is displayed/returned by request/sort arg, all its children should be also. that seems to me to be how the webUI works also.

any tips on how to ensure that?

EDIT: all good, I worked it out, I found some other api docs.

Is the ModeratorView listing type in this release? If so what feed view is it available in? I can't see it in the lemmy.ml webUI at the moment, nor in the API docs, but the code is merged.

documentation for lemmy link types? (lemmy.ml)

Is there anywhere that lemmy's various types of internal links are documented? like !community links @user links, links of the form https://lemmy.com/c/community@otherinstance.net. i have also seen links that just have "/c/community@otherinstance.net"... at the moment i'm only developing rendering code for them as i happen upon them, which is ad-hoc

how does the webfinger API work? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml to c/lemmydev@lemm.ee

2 comments fedilink

Or is it documented? with mastodon, i set up clients to always load URLs in my app if they resembled masto-compatible URLS. I'm unsure how to go about this with lemmy. the lemmy-js-client "documentation" makes no mention of webfinger at all, though the lemmy repos have PRs fixing it.

are maximum Limit values documented somewhere? (lemmy.ml)

The Limit property is just a number, but it is different for different API endpoints. I'd like to have a list of the different values so i can easily stay within the max for each endpoint. Are the values documented somewhere? From the official js-client docs site, not even a given endpoint documents its maximum.

how to build a comment tree from the lemmy API? (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by blawsybogsy@lemmy.ml to c/lemmydev@lemm.ee

i have requests to fetch comment and post data, but i'm struggling to work out how to build a tree from the responses? do i fetch comments with arg parent_id to get a comment's children, and do so recursively for those comments returned that themselves have comments?
