  • Better Mastodon/Lemmy Integration?

    Jump

  • I don't think it's technically impossible - all the information that another site needs to properly interpret some activity is in the JSON that's sent. I get the sense that it might be unrealistic to expect Mastodon to make the necessary changes though. It seems more of a political issue than a technical one.

  • Better Mastodon/Lemmy Integration?

    Jump

  • 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.)

  • You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on

    Jump

  • Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn't then duplicated to 50 other servers ... yeah, I don't see how that can work.

    (I'm just kidding - your site looks neat.)

  • Previously paid Nintendo DS emulator app on Android goes free (DraStic DS)

    Jump

  • Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

    Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don't think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

  • Previously paid Nintendo DS emulator app on Android goes free (DraStic DS)

    Jump

  • This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It's always been free for that - it's just, you know, you'd have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

  • Nightmare on Lemmy Street (A Fediverse GDPR Horror Story) - Michael Altfield's Tech Blog

    Jump

  • Not quite, no. I know what it isn't at least.

    I'll keep going - I'm sure the article's author is someone who genuinely uploaded some confidential info and then became really involved with privacy/GDPR etc, and not someone who was always been really involved with privacy/GDPR issues and now has a story to fit.

    Mmm, I'm sure it won't take long. Just have to remember to do it all again for .jpg, .webp, and .png.

    Anyway, I'll let you know when I get it.

  • Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.

  • Is there a meta-community for discussing ways to grow & manage Lemmy communities (not instances)?

  • The perfect Lemmy app?

    Jump

  • A quick Google suggests you're correct - big sites have implemented their own versions, but it looks like everyone has spent the last decade arguing with other about a CommonMark standard.

  • The perfect Lemmy app?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Flippin' eck. Seeing a familiar Lemmy post on there, clicking it and seeing the whole thing render instantly was a bit of a shock after getting used to Lemmy's more pedestrian loading of stuff.

  • This is totally on me, but I'd never recontextualised the meeting between Vader and Leia in New Hope as one that was between father and daughter

  • What Are Some Great Films Not Adapted from Books?

    Jump

  • Star Wars is interesting in that it's a big franchise IP that isn't an adaption of a book or comic

  • I made a tool for discovering new communities on lemmy

    Jump

  • It's maybe an idea to filter out communities with less than 10 posts.

    When I tried it, it gave me a community with 1 post and no comments (there's a lot of dead communities on lemmy, so you might need to do something to increase the chance of an interesting response)
