I learned recently how the James Webb Space Telescope is not orbiting around Earth but literally orbiting around an empty point in space. I don’t think I even quite understand it, but it’s really cool
I think it’s incredible, just needs some more love from users and developers to get it to a stable place. It truly feels like something we’ve all built together. I think the pros outweigh the cons by far
Yes! If you’re comfortable with Django, that’ll definitely work, not overkill at all.
If you’re down to get your hands dirty with JS, Astro is really easy to learn and can be extremely powerful if needed. TypeScript or JSDoc will give you the types in JavaScript you’re looking for, and that’s built-in to Astro too. SvelteKit is similar to Astro’s syntax but has more powerful server-side tools built-in and is my personal favorite.
Up to you, really just depends on how much you want to learn.
We can’t thank y’all enough for putting in the energy, money, and time to keep this thing running. Amazed that there haven’t been more outages given the circumstances and how unstable Lemmy still is at this point in its development. Thanks a ton!
All related I’m sure but just noting this for the record based on what I’ve experienced:
making a user a mod of a community that’s located on another instance is not federating
mod log changes are not federating
changing the icon for a community on another instance is not federating
post deletion on a community from another instance is not federating
user profile changes are not federating to other instances
outbound comments are not federating to other instances
Important to note that if you search for a direct post link from another instance using the URL search, it triggers outbound federation for that post and the post becomes visible to all other instances.
I’d still have to do some refactoring in and around my classes though. There’s some syntax that is TypeScript-only, including things like extended classes.
There is less content here than Reddit because there are less users here—less users creating content each day. Each of our comments and posts have far more weight and impact on the Fediverse because of this. The more we push ourselves to engage, create posts, or moderate communities when we normally wouldn’t before, the faster we will see Lemmy grow!
As a dev, Lemmy comments are really difficult to work with and sometimes they go missing. Every app tries to mitigate it their own way, but ultimately we are waiting for Lemmy to improve and have clearer documentation on comments. So to answer your question, it’s probably both a Lemmy and Memmy issue.
Also, if you have bot accounts disabled/hidden in your settings, it also hides bot comments
Technically should be possible, it’s just likely far more difficult to implement in a PWA because you have to handle conflicts with any other gestures and web-related things
Also, if you do post why don’t you not post?
