I never considered doing that, actually. I always felt like PRs where only useful when you actually had something to show, otherwise you are just spamming a project with useless ideas and "what if"s.
But this is also my first time contributing to an open source project. Learning experience.
Fun fact: while not being exactly like what karma was on Reddit, Lemmy does store the total count of upvotes-downvotes your account has received. You probably can’t see it because it isn’t shown by the frontend (the website you see), but the data is indeed there.
Ansible guide. I didn’t follow this one myself but the guy who set up my instance said it was pretty easy
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
…or join a smaller instance.
Also @OP, remember that you can edit titles.
Same, since I updated my instance to 0.18 Jerboa doesn’t work and instantly crashes.
Upvoting this post from Connect for Lemmy. Actually I think I still prefer Jerboa. Unfortunately it has stopped working since I updated my instance to 0.18 so this will have to do for now.
I am working on it! My team and I are working on this issue as we speak (I literally tabbed out of VS Code to answer this) and we plan to roll them out to our modded instance in a matter of days, it’s our top priority.
Extending support for this feature to the wider lemmy codebase is not paramount to our roadmap, but we will certainly make a pull request once we are done. If the lemmy devs will like our implementation and decide to adopt it we will definitely be very glad to help them doing so.
EDIT, 10 days after: only now I see that the links was about post flairs, not user flairs. To clarify, I am working on user flair, no idea if and who is working on post flairs.
Regular firefox with enhanced protection on by default + ublock origin does most of the work for me. Personally I also like to add a user agent switcher on top of it. Oh and the Facebook container extension, that one is a must.
Not sure if there’s any lore behind it but I’ve also seen this. The beehaw admins seem to have an habit of making problems go away by pressing the magic button.
My team and I are planning to start working on an AutoMod bot in the near future. It’s going to be built with our custom instance in mind, but the code will he open source for everyone to use.
If I’m actively subscribed do I still get the content […]?
No, the whole point of defed is that your home instance stops “listening” to the updates of the defederated instance. So you’d stop getting updates from any community hosted on @sh.itjust.works period.
This. Defed is not the magic weapon that will solve all your problems. Captcha and email filters should be on by default though.
Agreed. Sh.itjust.works has plenty of interesting communities, pressing the big red button for just one name seems a bit overkill.
Couldn’t the protocol be updated to be more compliant with the right to be forgotten? Something like, when a user deletes a comment it gets deleted from the DB of every federated instance. Sure enough, admins might have made backups and that would theoretically go against the GDPR but still… you can only apply these laws to a certain extent. It’s the same as you posting a picture on Facebook, me downloading it and you deleting it afterwards. Even if you were to make a GDPR request to Meta you still couldn’t get the picture on my PC. But that’s not Meta’s fault, they can’t do much about that.
Friendly reminder that if you aren’t hosting your own instance you don’t have “your own Reddit”
…nor blackjack, nor hookers, for that matter…
Is this “new version” you speak of the one you pushed 5 hours ago? I really like it! The fix to the banner in user profiles is great, it looks much nicer. Yes I really think I’m going to add this to my instance.
Hey. Let me start off by saying that this script is great and I’m really thankful for it. There’s still some room for improvement but it makes the experience much much more enjoyable.
So, I’m working on modding the lemmy-ui source code to work on a modded Lemmy instance I’m building with some friends. I’ve only been working on it for a couple days so I’m quite ignorant myself, but I have a few ideas about your project.
So, I don’t think this could be a theme because it does something fundamentally different. A theme is simply a set of colours, fonts and other customization options that describe how Bootstrap should make the content that’s already defined look like. Example, this is what a theme’s code looks like.
What you are doing instead, is replacing the Bootstrap code itself, which is beyond a theme’s scope. You are touching the page’s code.
As far as I know, Lemmy has no way of toggling a feature like this on a user level so user scripts might be your best bet for the time being. However, I like the design so much (and on my instance we are all Reddit refugees anyway) that I’m considering making it the official layout of my instance. I’d still need to figure out how that would work in the details, but I think it could be done without excessive trouble.
As a sidenote, reading your code I saw you used the browser’s user agent to check for mobile users. I’d avoid doing that because users can actually modify their user agent if they want to, and some people who really care about their privacy have extensions that do so automatically. Instead you could try using media queries and the window.matchMedia() function (not sure if it’s suported in user scripts as I’m quite the noob in that field, but that’s how I’d do it in a web page).
That’s what I’ve blocked yeah. Though you can’t really have any confirmation (the “software” and “version” fields will remain blank) because they haven’t even enabled federation yet.
