Luigi Mangione is the median American voter

They’re confused because they still believe the dominant divide in US politics is liberalism v conservatism. It’s not, and it hasn’t been for some time. Increasingly, even if they lack the exact language to explain it, voters do not identify foremost as Democrats or Republicans, progressives or traditionalists, or even left or right. They identify as pro-system or anti-system.

It’s doesn’t seem like feddit.online is aware of the other community (forumlibre@jlai.lu), so it doesn’t have a copy of both posts, so it doesn’t know that they are cross-posts.

If you bring that community into feddit.online, then create a post with the same URL as a recent post (e.g. https://files.catbox.moe/pebvir.jpeg), then they’ll show up.

The picture (or whatever external resource a post is pointing to, like https://bbc.com/news/article.html)

The post you mentioned (‘melting is tough’) isn’t picked up as a cross-post on PieFed instances because the dates are too far apart. A restriction that Rimu wanted was that they should only be detected if they were within 7 days of one another.

However, if you take that URL (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/91f96cc8-a194-4cb8-abc6-505261e65420.jpeg), and make a new post with it, then the post you mentioned now shows that it has a cross-post.

A cross-post is just a post that links to the same URL as another post. The codeberg Issue that Blaze linked to mentions an exception, but other than that, there’s not a convenient button that copy-pastes a post’s title, body, and URL into a new ‘Create Post’ form. You can do it manually though, and everything that receives it will detect it as a cross-post, because everything is just looking for matching URLs.

Photon came up in this discussion amongst the Lemmy developers.

Maybe it was Neon Modem Overdrive, or this TUI app.

But, yeah - shell browsers like the ones you mentioned don’t support JavaScript, so won’t work with Lemmy (as it currently is - it might be different when they start using the leptos-based UI). There’s places where they’re not great with PieFed either (e.g. link2 -g can’t deal with WEBP images), but it’s completely theme-able, so a theme could easily be added by someone suitably invested to overwrite the existing HTML and provide a better experience.

That link shows loads of apps I’ve never heard of, but visiting their repos suggests that they’re dead.

Since that site helpfully breaks down platforms by programming language, it might be best to target something familiar (or maybe something you want to learn).

This community is hosted by Lemmy (Rust), and most of the posts and replies will be made by people using that, but they’ll also be some by people using PieFed (python) or MBIN (PHP).

Is there a more modern alternative to embedding videos in plain HTML? It’s easy to use them for embeds from youtube and peertube, streamable, etc.

Ah, I see now, thanks. That makes more sense than my previous theory, that MBIN users were pathological liars or something. Also, now my previous comment makes me look like an idiot. Oh, well.

It’s interesting what MBIN does - making the user click a button gives it an extra chance to query the remote site, so it can render it correctly. That’s not the same as taking the markdown and rendering it as HTML, but the end result is nice.

Elsewhere (like on PieFed), Youtube embedding works well because the URL is in a nice dedicated field, so it’s easy to process, rather than parse through the text of a comment to find it. No idea what’s happening with Tesseract, but it’s just a front-end for Lemmy (albeit a sophisticated one), so my guess is that your link would fail, but since the comments aren’t there, it’s a bit moot.

I’d be surprised if that test worked on any platform in existence. You’re using the markdown to render a static image, and sticking a youtube URL in there. PieFed supports it if the URL ends in something like .mp4, but that’s only because Lemmy have fudged it, and so now people expect it. There’s meant to be a 1:1 relationship between markdown and HTML, metadata transformed into metadata - nothing should have to look at the actual contents to know what tags to produce.

As for ‘works for me embedded in mbin’ … eh? It looks like this in mbin:

That’s literally just a external link to youtube. It ‘works’ because it doesn’t - same as for the screenshot itself - instead of embedding it, it just coughs up the link to a remote site. Everything else is rendering it as it is - a broken link to an image that doesn’t exist.

(maybe ‘originallucifer’ has some fancy app that takes a youtube shorts URL, works out the embed code, and then puts it in an iframe … but like I say, I’d be surprised).

For the one rogue fuck, my Rogue One fuck would be:

For movies and shows to a VPS, I’d install a command-line IRC client (like weechat) and get stuff using XDCC.

I used to have a bot that uploaded stuff to Google drive and mega for plebs on Reddit to download, and that what the bot used to get the content in the first place.

I think Hamill said something similar once (that SW was more ‘space fantasy’ than science-fiction).

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 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.

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).

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.

Hmmm. I’d imagine that’s essential for cloudflare to work. You can get their IP addresses if you have a server that is federated with them and you look in your nginx logs (so that ‘if’ is a big IF).
