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
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
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.
Dude this is 10x simpler than WordPress
