Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.

(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)

Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

Informing a human that their work has already been done for them by a bot is oddly appropriate for this post.

I think that’s just a fun title. I searched for London, UK when it was set for 750 million years ago and it said something about the land not being there for it yet. As advised, I changed to a more ‘recent’ year and it came up.

It’s me deciding. Recommendations for interesting people on Mastodon to follow are welcome (either in this post, or the sticky ‘About this community’ post).

Mmmm. It’s the instance that people are on on that’s doing (or not doing) much of the work there. If you comment on a post, the instance will send 1 copy to me (who’s responsible for federating it out to other Lemmy instances) and 1 copy to Mastodon for the post’s author.

If you reply to a Lemmy comment, it doesn’t send it to Mastodon because it’s not for the author (in much the same way that you don’t get replies to replies in your inbox if you’re the OP of a Lemmy post). For local posts, both Mastodon and Lemmy show the local comment tree, but neither can show every Fediverse interaction because they never hear about them.

Likewise, if you reply to a Mastodon comment, your instance will send it to the comment author, but not the post author, so won’t appear anywhere under their post.

As for Mastodon comments on Lemmy … it depends. I follow some accounts, so when I post them to Lemmy, top-level comments come through automatically (again, though, I never hear about replies to replies). Other content is just stuff I’ve seen and grabbed. I often post the existing replies, but not if they’ve turned Authorized Fetch on, and I don’t typically go back and check for more later.

They can, yes. The lemmy instance that a particular user is on handles that. This community is mostly about getting the posts and comments into lemmy in the first place.

Lol, no. I’ve decided that they should be exclusively referred to as Tails OS (they’ve yet to formally agree).

The name comes it being a Community that follows People (so flipping the usual relationship in a heads/tails kinda way, but also tail as a synonym for follow).

Not yet, no.

I’ve seen this happen occasionally, but it doesn’t always look great, and relies on them having heard of Lemmy in the first place, obvs.

Strange that blahaj.zone has loads of communities related to gender and sexuality, but never seemed to have one before that was just called ‘trans’.

I’m now privileged to have seen my reward - only for 60 seconds though obvs. An evil version of this site would offer a gif that lasts 70 seconds …

For anyone else wondering, btw, it’s because lemmy expects all ‘id’ fields to be unique, so it would error if the inner object actually was a copy of the original vote.

I would argue that I’m not asking it to be a queryable thing or a datastore. I wouldn’t expect a community’s ‘Accept’ of a ‘Follow’ to contain loads of data about past activity because that’s not a logical or practical thing to encapsulate. For an Undo though, there’s already a small, fixed-length encapsulated object inside, consistent with how ActivityPub is used for other circumstances. Since it’s there anyway, I don’t see the value in it containing incorrect, made-up data, when it may as well have the correct data.

Well, for my own nefarious purposes, I would’ve preferred to have all the info in one place. I’m not using Lemmy or Mastodon, just messing around with ActivityPub, so it’s be easier not to have to rely on past data about who voted for what that I haven’t necessarily kept.

I was thinking of pinging the bot’s author about how dopey this bot can be, but’s he’s banned on lemmy.ml, so maybe not.

Speaking of bots that should have some checks built in, ha.

Bots are clients that use the HTTP API

Voyager was set up to test the app, but that doesn’t mean other clients can’t use it.

Enterprise is full of random test communities that have many been populated by bots. I don’t understand how something like https://enterprise.lemmy.ml/c/mels_test (to pick a random one) isn’t useful for what you’re trying to do.
