I saw the Danish original, and it’s very bleak, but the decision-making didn’t bother me because after watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I assumed that people in that part of the world have a hang-up about politeness. To the extent that a fear of being impolite overwhelms any fear for your own safety.

Maybe it made more sense than the American remake (which I’m guessing is what you’re talking about).

I mentioned the other day that requests to walledgarden error (curl says ‘transferred a partial file’). If another instance doesn’t get a good response for these requests, then after 3 days, it’ll mark the other instance as dead, and not federate out to it. Once this happens, it’s a pain, because traffic from walledgarden doesn’t make them realise that it’s actually alive, you have to wait until it tries again and gets a successful response.

If you haven’t done so already, it might be an idea to use curl to query your site, and see what the response in nginx says.

There’s been a recurring federation delay between lemmy.ml and lemmy.world:
https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.ml&var-remote_software=lemmy&from=now-30d&to=now&var-remote_instance=lemmy.world&timezone=browser

The LW admins are aware, but I don’t think they’ve yet nailed down the cause (it fixed itself yesterday, but has started again today). The same thing might be stopping the crawler from getting a full API response from them.

I have a test instance that’s subscribed to a couple of communities, but is quiet enough to be able to monitor federation, and if you do that, you realise that there are activities that are meant to happen, and just flat-out don’t. Other instances can recover (if they receive a reply for a post they don’t know about because LW forgot to Announce it, then they can fetch it instead), but it’s all a bit flaky, yeah.

Boo! the upstream crawler is still borked (up a tiny bit to 9k communities now).

If you continue to report opinions and simple disagreements as misinformation, we will take action against your account for report abuse, same as we would any account.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me to interpret that as a threat to ban the account.

Oh okay. Might be though, in the future, if platforms (like Sublinks) get released - it’s not really a relevant issue at the mo.

I assume this was a song for which they released an acapella version, because I’ve heard it used on Mash-Up albums by the likes of Girl Talk (that’s the only place I’ve heard it, tbh).

I couldn’t really do justice to his opinions about things like that. I just replied because I recognised your name, and wanted to let you know that the software / instance wouldn’t be a good fit for you.

Yeah the lack of test suites really kicks our arse sometimes. I changed it from hard-deleting to soft-deleting stuff recently, and I forgot to check whether a post actually links to an external URL when restoring a post. The first time someone restored a post without one, it decided that it now had 189 cross-posts (i.e. all the other text posts that week). Whoops!

They must have been talking about the Lemmy devs (the main PieFed dev is a lefty but no-one has ever accused him of being a tankie). To give you an idea: piefed.social blocks lemmygrad and hexbear, but it also block hilariouschaos (set up by the old exploding-heads guys).

You can’t, no. PieFed and Lemmy are operating in similar spaces, but are completely different architecturally. PieFed doesn’t yet have an API. Unlike Lemmy (and a lot of other modern web platforms), it doesn’t need one to operate, so copying Lemmy’s to the extent that you’d be able to plug in something like Voyager would be overkill. It would probably also be against the TOS for Voyager (Jerboa actively prevents it’s use with anything other than Lemmy, even if the API is the same).

Hmmm. Something hasn’t responded to the crawler (probably lemmy.world) - https://data.lemmyverse.net/ currently shows about 8k communities, when normally it shows 30k.

Silo S2 has already started btw - ep 1 was last Friday.

Oh man, it’s only from reading this that I’ve realised that ‘pypy’ isn’t the same as ‘pypi’

[email protected] seems interesting, and it only took me 4 months to find out about it. Dunno if the list of communities it covers is being updated anymore though.

For clarity, it’s not Lemmy that uses ‘Article’. I can’t remember what does, friendica maybe?
Lemmy uses ‘Page’ for posts, and ‘Note’ for comments.
Mastodon uses ‘Note’ for both, with ‘inReplyTo’ used to distinguish whether Lemmy would call it a ‘Page’. It uses ‘Question’ for polls.
Pixelfed also uses ‘Note’, with an ‘Image’ type attachment (I thinks Loops is similar, just with a ‘Video’ type attachment).
PeerTube uses ‘Video’.
Funkwhale uses ‘Album’ and ‘Playlist’
CastoPod uses ‘PodcastEpisode’

There’s no one universal ActivityPub server because the Fediverse is based on a broken promise: i.e. that you should be able to use whatever service, to interact with whatever other one. You very often can’t, because ActivityPub hasn’t been implemented by each platform as some universal thing, it’s been co-opted by each to serve it’s own purposes. Lemmy best federates with other Lemmy instances, following Lemmy’s way of doing stuff, but a good chuck of the Fediverse follows a different model, and is receiving their activity and quietly discarding it because it doesn’t know what to do with it. If all the Lemmy instances suddenly chose to use a different protocol than ActivityPub, most people wouldn’t notice the difference.

The bot gets its data from https://lemmyverse.net - which isn’t aware of https://walledgarden.xyz. I don’t know why, but there’s a problem with the site that might be related - if you do curl -i --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://walledgarden.xyz/ it errors with ‘transferred a partial file’ whereas it works for any other Lemmy server. It must have worked in the past though, 'cos I was able to subscribe and post to a community on there not long ago.

Garbage in, garbage out. If you look up ‘hansenerd’, they’re at https://shoddy.site/@cg - where it shows they joined in 2042.

Lemmy’s backend should probably be the one to sanitise it rather than each app.

It’s the one where he’d be immortal, and it would show him fighting wars from then until the present day (like what they did with Logan from the X-Men at one point). Maybe it would’ve been shit, I dunno, but I’ll take any kind of proper sequel over a soft-reboot any day (I’m still grumpy about Alien: Romulus).

I heard a podcast about the version of the film they didn’t make for this sequel, involving Russel Crowe’s commissioning a script from Nick Cave. You wouldn’t be able to cast Crowe again nowadays, but it sounded more interesting that what is being released: “Gladiator on steroids” is another way of saying “soft reboot of Gladiator”.
