freamon

It doesn’t, no. The bot gets its data from another bot, at https://lemmyverse.net/, which only crawls Lemmy and MBIN instances at the mo.

We’d either need to send a PR to get that bot to crawl PieFed instances too, or just replicate the functionality from the same machine that runs ‘tcbot’. Communities would also need to provide their ‘active users / month’ too. It’s just the subscriber count currently, but it shouldn’t be too much of a problem hopefully.

That opening sequence does it no favours - it looks cheap, and they’ve already redone the hallway sequence from Rogue One plenty of times before.

Ah, shit. Cheers. The amount of things learned from the comments under memes is probably a bit high, but I’ll send a commit to fix this in a minute.

Does Lemmy look at the mods URL again when it decides to refresh a community (or when it receives an Update / Group) ? If not, then PieFed instances might need to send out some “Add” activities.

PieFed isn’t hiding mods - when Lemmy fails to get them, it’s for its own mysterious reasons.

In ActivityPub, to get the moderators of this community you can do this from the command-line:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://feddit.uk/c/fedimemes/moderators | jq .orderedItems

To get the moderators of a PieFed community, it’s exactly the same:
curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://piefed.social/c/50501/moderators | jq .orderedItems

In both cases, the mods URL comes from the attributedTo field for the community.

PieFed’s repo is hosted by Codeberg - it’s the right thing to do in many ways, but occasionally it’s borderline unusable, and I get the sense that it misses out on potential contributors by not being on GitHub (projects there benefit from the network effect).

Oh, I see, thanks. I’ve not heard of this ‘reddit’ you speak of, but I know that Mastodon has that kind of thing. Neat!

This sort of gallery, or something different?

There’s probably a meme that someone could make showing an Internet user who is fed up with every site asking them if they want to install an app, but then also not liking that a website isn’t trying to get you to install an app. It’s server-side rendering baby! It’s the latest old-new-old thing! (technology is cyclical, as everyone knows).

That someone is me. The developer of Interstellar (which already works with both MBIN and Lemmy) has been in touch about also adding PieFed, so I’ve been adding stuff to the API that he’s requested. If he’s able to go ahead, then Interstellar will be a better prospect than the Thunder fork (which works, but I need to have a better understanding of Dart / Flutter to properly improve it. That said, the developer of Thunder has also been in touch, so I’ll have someone to ask once I know the right questions to ask, if that makes sense).

Since this is ‘fedimemes’, it’s hopefully not too off-topic to mention that Lemmy isn’t the only Fediverse platform, and client-side blocking (either with uBlock or with an app) isn’t a very efficient way to do it. If your app is blocking keywords, then rather than just fetching 20 posts, it has to keep fetching an indeterminate number of posts until it has 20 posts that don’t contain the keywords. Likewise, I’m guessing that if you’re using uBlock, it means that a page that should have 20 posts just has however many pass the filters (which could conceivably be none of them).

Server-side filtering of keywords (like PieFed does, and probably other platforms do) is a more efficient way to handle the problem. It also means that filters can be applied for anonymous users, to give them a better first impression (so they don’t just dismiss your site as one where every 2nd post is about some divisive American political figure).

This says more about RT’s flawed ratings system than it does the quality of this movie. ‘80% Fresh’ just mean 80% of critics thought it was watchable (so it applies if there were 5 critics, and 4 said ‘meh’ and 1 said ‘bad’). The AVClub gave it a C+, which is the kind of rating that RT regards as Fresh from some publications and Rotten from others.

I’ve no idea why people are trying to Jack Quaid a thing, he was already a thing as soon as he was born to his famous parents.

It doesn’t look like they’ve turned it back on yet at their end: https://hexbear.net/instances

Well, they should have put the pic of the male on the left and the female on the right then, just so they’re not adding to any possible “confusion”.

Well done Scotland, for drafting and actually enforcing this law.

It’s no surprise that this woman, and the others pictured in the article, are all of a demographic that they’re not going to have to actually make maternal healthcare decisions for themselves.

The “previously on …” for this drama was that someone created a Fediverse post ranking the different apps for how well they handled Lemmy’s Markdown, and Racoon didn’t score well in the original post. It was later revised after further testing, but the damage was already done.

I started a new account, on a new instance, and the very first notification I got was for a spam message from that ‘fediverse chick’ person. It really made that “it’s like email” connection feel complete.
