No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.

What I said is what I’ve done and have had zero to worry about.

Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.

1. Sign up at lemmy.world.
2. Done

No need to explain all the other crap

I dunno about this. I REALLY like the idea of fragmenting the whole user base. When a community gets too big it ceases to be a community.

Why does the whole internet need to see then same content, and be a collective hivemind?

Whats wrong with the current user size we have on this current community? Id even argue its too big already. If it blows up by 100x we run back to having posts with 10k replies, 20 or so which everyone will read. Its a really dumb system

You’re talking about different issues I think. What OP mentioned is inconsistency with one community being seen across different instances.

Ive been thinking about how to do this but the issue I see related names don’t necessarily mean the same type of community.

/c/latex on one community and /c/latex on another can be VERY different things, so you need to let people create their own groupings, but that seems like too much work.

But going by name is perhaps a good start.

This will go away with dropping websockets

It depends on what happens next. Short term there definitely isn’t any harm. Longer term if the content stays as is it gets stale and dies. On the other hand if the people keep finding creative ways of posting content in this “new” format it seems like it breathes life into the site*___*

Can they? It doesnt seem so simple because they have no way of knowing which posts are edited in good faith vs not.

They can try to undo comments which sre repeated 10x+ times or something I guess, but editing users comments seems like a really bad move

What I hate about those award crap is they basically gave you a paid way to highlight the fuck out of posts with changing the background, making it shoot rockets, or whatever else.

Edit your content, dont just delete

Theyre getting rid of websockets all together, which should give a big performance boost. Right now the backend maintains connection for every active user and pushes an ungodly amount of messages for no good reason

Nah I disagree. Turning things less serious is not necessarily a bad thing. People will visit to check it out but long term it will get stale and die off.

Ah, my ide auto pulls in imports sometimes. Thank you

Check out svelte, its pretty much native JS.

Doesn’t get much simpler than this https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.server.js https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.svelte

Can you move the server name to an .env variable so I don’t have to run a sed? sharing my sed:

Yes, definitely will do.

On desktop browser, I’m getting a ‘500 internal error’ on the /r/post/xxx route, but not sure why. The console isn’t showing anything. The page.server.js seems to get the JSON fine from the API, but the .svelte file in that route is failing.

I think I know this issue. When clicking a post from the front page it stores the post so upon landing on /post/xxx it doesn’t have to refetch that data. It fetches the comments on /post/xxx but not the post itself. Just need to fetch the post itself if someone lands directly on that page.

I love SvelteKit. I am a backend dev myself, but this framework made me really get into UI development, just so much easier.

What do you mean by the cors restrictions? I am hosting the front end on the same domain as my backend (just like the lemmy UI) so there shouldn’t be any issues there.

I just replaced it with images, I apologize.

Not my intention, but understood Ill just remove the link

For what its worth, the domain has nothing to do with the project. Its just my personal site for testing
