Lemmy

I would like to make a bot that gets the top posts from specific subreddits and posts them here. Is there any useful guide to do something like this?

Would this be bad Lemmy etiquette?

I only found the Connect app able to hide read topics, while Jerboa and Liftoff does not have this feature. Is read status built-in into Lemmy protocol?

Just wanted to thank the team for the vaporwave themes. They great!

Would it eventually possible to create our own themes via a CSS editor?

So I created an open-source Lemmy bot to reply to posts/comments with YouTube links with converted Piped links to preserve your privacy.

Piped is an open-source alternative privacy-friendly frontend to YouTube. You can watch the same content from YouTube without connecting to Google's servers.

PS: I'm the author of Piped :P

See the linked page for information about how it works, limitations, etc. and I’ll of course answer any questions below!

Right now supports just Lemmy BE 0.18.1 (rc9, rc10, and final release).

As I have stated in the release section, this software is alpha so please don't be afraid to report bugs!

Releases are here: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases

Right now the program only supports Lemmy BE 0.18.1-rc9, but new releases will try to support new versions as they are released. The Lemmy API is changing a ton right now, but I'll try to keep up.

Note: Supports 0.18.1-rc9+ - I have tested it with rc9, rc10, and the final release of 0.18.1.

In the past, we would type something like site:reddit.com into a search engine to get to the resource we needed. In the meantime, I have already found a few useful tips on Lemmy instances by using the Lemmy search. But since all Lemmy instances are named differently, a simple site:lemmy won't work well in a search engine.

Do you see a solution for this? Or do we leave this to the search providers to figure out?

Title says it all. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see a way to do anything wiki related at the subs I've created.

Supposedly you are on the 1st page of the timeline. Click the next page button twice so that you are now on the 3rd page. Enter any post by left-clicking it, now click the "back button" of the browser of your choice You are now on the 2nd page.

The fediverse isn’t going anywhere, and just getting started!

Cross-posting this from https://lemmy.ca/post/1271596 due to the current federation situation:

A new version of my Rediggit theme for Lemmy has dropped, and with it comes a name change...

Rediggit is now Lemonberry, to better reflect the separation from Reddit.

I've also added a much-requested dark mode, adapted from Lemmy's default darkly theme. Those familiar with the Reddit Enhancement Suite's dark mode should find this pretty comfortable.

The latest version of Lemonberry is optimized for Lemmy v0.18.1 only and is available on GitHub and UserStyles. I will likely keep the optimizations in sync with only the larger instances as Lemmy development is changing rapidly, and it's proving difficult to maintain compatibility with older versions.

You can also find older versions of the theme, and additional screenshots, at the GitHub repo.

If you have no idea what any of this means, Lemonberry is a flexible, full-width light and dark theme for Lemmy. It is just one of many user-made themes for this community. These themes can be installed and enabled with the use of a CSS injector browser add-on, such as Stylus (Firefox, Chrome). UserStyles.world is a good place to start exploring the available themes.

Cheers

The UI should at least display an error message.

Ran a search & didn't see a thread on this, although there may be a Git issue raised on the subject. Nevertheless, I think it would be nice to have a setting from the profile & per post/comment to mute notifications for replies to posts or comments, as desired.

On Reddit there was no such account-level option so far as I'm aware, so you basically had to make it a habit to disable reply notifications on every, single, post & comment if you didn't want to see your inbox/notifications lit up.

I know this may be a little counter-intuitive, but after awhile I honestly don't want to see that someone randomly replied to one of my comments or posts from who knows how long ago. In the cases that I might, though, I'd leave the notifications on, of course.

Right now I have to put this in a custom Stylus CSS override to have good readability when using a compact theme:

.post-listing {
    line-height: 1.5 !important;
}

The CSS needs to be "fixed" as it seems to go against typography best-practices.

Web UI. I always find myself having to go to the next page first after opening a post and then going back to the timeline. Seems like a bug

It appears that all NSFW content is blurred. I looked in the user settings, and I don't appear to have any option to disable it. All that I see is the following:

Edit: I just found out that !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml exists. I assume that these sorts of posts are supposed to go there. I will crosspost this to that community.

I've tried a few communities between lemmy and kbin this way.

When i'm logged into lemmy(or not) and view some kbin community it shows me there is either scarce community activity or none at all. While if i visit the original community on kbin it shows a lot more.

The example with the pc gaming community works well. lemmy shows the last new post was 13 days ago. and kbin shows multiple posts made only 3 hours ago.

Another example: Stargate through lemmy shows 0 posts while kbin has low activity but does have posts 3 weeks ago.

Can somebody confirm this? Is this a bug?

Thought I'd share some ideas I've been floating, to implement a unified branding across all instances. Instances could opt-in for a consistent identity across the platform, using an official trademark with their instance address embedded below it. Instances that use "lemmy" in their second-level domain name would simple append their .tld (such as .world), or use .sld.tld when "lemmy" is accessible from a subdomain (such as .dbzer0.com). Seemingly unrelated domain names, such as beehaw.org, would just omit the leading dot.

The navbar background itself could be further customized by the local instance. I imagine something like a watermark of a globe for lemmy.world, or a watermarked maple leaf for lemmy.ca, etc.

Obviously this is a very rough take on things (including the art style), and I'm just brainstorming ideas at this point.

What are your thoughts?

EDIT: seems like BrikoX figured it out, cross-instance searches only work when logged in, I filed a feature request to make this more clear to the user https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1862

I spun up my own little instance, and I'm able to search for the community from some other instances but not all of them and I don't know why

works: https://programming.dev/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

fails: https://lemmy.ml/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.mods4ever.com%2Fc%2Fmeta&type=Communities&listingType=All&page=1&sort=TopAll

the curl command works fine

curl -H "Accept: application/activity+json" https://lemmy.mods4ever.com/c/meta

maybe Lemmy should dump some debugging info about these searches into the javascript console so we can debug these more easily?

Am intrigued.
