No, things are moving along though (pictrs upgrade was just completed). Again I'm not going to give a date were going to upgrade at apart from warning before we do so since it won't be followed due to us all being volunteers and things changing due to issues coming up

0.19.4 is annoying since it adds the hashtag additions where posts are auto hashtagged with the community name. I was aiming to Ideally remove that from the codebase before we upgrade but we might have to upgrade with that in it

That would massively hinder growth since actual users would get affected and then leave since they can't actually use the platform

Probably better to set up some link blacklists and then add things to it based on what spammers are linking to

edit: what you linked to is also not a community, did you mean !technology@lemmy.world or !tech@programming.dev?

pictrs is still upgrading but I believe its mostly usable atm

pict-rs is the image service yeah

The links to the other posts show up below in a cross-posted to section so you can still access it if you want. The limitation on it needing to be the same page comes from this handling happening on the frontend instead of the backend. Ideally imo backend should handle it like how it handles the cross-posts displayed when looking at the post itself

On lemmy-ui if both posts are both "visible" in the feed they will be compacted into one post if they share the same link meaning there wont be a duplicate post (unless you paginate and theyre on different pages)

Some other frontends such as sync dont do this though but they really should

If a community is shown with proper data its working and probably hidden (the one thats broken, nytimes, doesnt have correct data since its missing the stats and mod list)

But yeah lemmy has terrible UX for hidden communities atm

Yeah, I go through and hide things every once in awhile by looking though communities in the database with some queries

BBC is hidden since i just went though and hid them. Sub and youll see all the posts. Hackaday isnt fetching posts looks like (did anyone sub previously?)

The last one should be scientificamerican instead of scientificamerica and seems to be functioning but hidden so sub and youll see the posts

Federation seems to be working, just that one specific community broke for some reason

All these communities fall under the realm of things I hide from the main feeds though since its majority bot content so at some point youll have to subscribe to see the posts

There was one open a bit ago but its now closed. tldr the swap to Bun from node broke things on some operating systems

https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/issues/253

The bot works on an opt in system, mods have to approve it for communities otherwise id be violating the lemmy.world bot guidelines

any fediverse account will work. Itll allow you to log in when it opens

Yeah tesseract wont be the default. Itll just join the other alternate frontends we have (mlmym, voyager, photon, alexandrite)

The default at some point in the future would be sublinks ui that im helping construct and ill be making it so the post feed is similar to lemmy ui

Fixed it, should take a bit to fully catch up

nameservers and some of the access to the servers got messed up. Server couldnt see anything outside of programming.dev due to the nameserver not working

after its fixed

might be some federation issues, ill see if I can look into it

looked into it: not due to versioning and out of the realm of what I can fix, I passed it along so should hopefully be fixed soon

No precise date, it's basically just when we feel its been thoroughly tested to make sure its actually stable and I don't want to give a deadline that might get missed if we want to wait a tiny bit longer due to some reports

But yeah probably 1-2 weeks if theres no issues

0.19.4 ended up causing issues so we never updated to it while some other instances did and those require the 0.19.5 fixes more than we do currently

If you want to run a bot against our api I'm able to whitelist ips to bypass the bot check. Feel free to reach out on matrix

Since you mentioned not knowing if this is the right community. For any question where you dont know where it goes !no_stupid_questions@programming.dev usually catches everything. Theres also some other question coms at !cs_career_questions@programming.dev and !ask_experienced_devs@programming.dev but theyre more specific. I can leave this one here though, its fine (especially since theres a bunch of info here now)
