If you're here, there's still hope for the internet

Don't let it fall

  • Am I going crazy or is that the framework ceo in that stock photo?

  • Does spreading misinformation count as treason? Otherwise having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, doesn't apply.

  • Lmao, the tankies don't need money to shill for [insert any country against the US]

  • It's not treason, they haven't interfered with the government or leaked secrets, that I'm aware of. They spread misinformation, but beyond that nothing illegal

  • It works with anything lemmy works with, so yes

  • Hey aren't you the duckquill dev?

  • Update: I think I see the problem, comments are too wide on small screens. I'll see if I can fix it

  • It should work on mobile. What problem are you seeing?

  • Yeah I could add that.

    as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.

    Well I'd have to load something to show this, unless I set it manually, which would be cumbersome.

  • I get the idea, but it's my home instance, so it'd be kinda weird for me to use a different one. Also would add an extra step

  • Drop a link! I'd like to see it

  • Lol, don't blame the duckquill dev, he only wrote the mastodon one, which I don't use. This is all me.

    So I suppose there’s an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you’ll eventually find that you’ve re-invented a front-end, and there’s no end to it.

    Yeah, I kinda chose the limits arbitrarily, but I don't expect them to be an issue anytime soon.

    This setup is also more flexible. I can in the future add comments from multiple lemmy posts, as well as other completely different sites.

  • Possible sure, but aside from the effort to make such a bot, posting to my own community would mean that very few people would see it, aside from those who already follow the blog. I have to pick a lemmy community, at which point I may as well do the rest of the work too. Now maybe I could have an llm analyze my post, fetch a list of communities, and then pick a likely one, but honestly this is getting too complicated

  • I was, but honestly there's not much to write without getting into the specifics of parsing the lemmy api, because it's literally just a fetchcall and then turning the response into nice html

  • Fediverse integration would require me to run, pay for and maintain a federated server. This takes me 50 lines of Javascript on a completely static site that cloudflare runs for free. It's just so much easier

  • Nice! That works too

  • Oh much simpler, I just make a post with my blog as a link, and supply that link to my site and it shows the comments from that link. As I said, not actually federated. It's basically a sort of frontend.

  • Not at the moment, since that would require parsing the markdown

  • Currently uses my home instance, lemmy.ml. I'd expect there to be some delay
