The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

Lemmy does have this actually

New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

and then there’s the “Active” sort, which is kind of a compromise

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Yeah it depends on the app, they don’t all do it. Boost shows cross posts, but doesn’t merge them.

What app are you using? The regular Lemmy-UI already does this. In fact I have a feature request asking to be able to disable it…

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2934

the default appears to be StoreLinkPreviews in v0.19.8

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/0.19.8/crates/utils/src/settings/structs.rs#L85-L88

but in the main branch it’s ProxyAllImages, so I guess that’ll be for a future release

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/utils/src/settings/structs.rs#L74-L77

this might help https://monero.town/post/2020876

I guess you could call GET /internal/hashes?{query} to see all the images

I think there’s a guide for that somewhere? Maybe I can try looking for it tomorrow if no one else finds it first. I think the admin control panel that shows uploaded images might also show the federated ones?

See the config.hjson for image_mode

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/config/defaults.hjson#L25-L57

Make sure you use the original link of the post and not your local version.

Use this icon on a post to copy the original link of it:

The original url will be the same domain name as the poster’s instance. For example your post is: https://lemmy.ca/post/38173834

And my comment is: https://programming.dev/comment/14642812

To view such a link on your own instance, paste it into your instance’s search, like this.

This feature request would make it easier: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048

Also: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2318

Give those Github feature requests thumbs up reactions so the devs know to prioritize them.

Seems like this also improves the situation and might be launching with v0.20 https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5057

I just don’t think bash is good for maintaining the code, debugging, growing the code over time, adding automated tests, or exception handling

I’ve been working in Ruby on Rails lately (unfortunately) and yeah it’s extremely bad at this. There’s so much hidden implicit behavior everywhere.

Deus Ex only at #44 :(

I feel like internet users have become so lazy, stubborn, and resistant to change. I’m pretty sure it used to be easier to get people to move to new things like new forums, Xfire, Ventrillo

https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Trending communities: !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl (make sure you enable “Show bot posts” to see here)

If you’re really looking for newly created communities…

sorted by new https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=published

Lemmy’s built in communities page sorted by new /communities?listingType=All&sort=New&page=1

I guess communities should have an easy way to hide themselves from Local/All feeds

Flavors of markdown are slightly different, but they share a lot in common. Also Boost has slightly different rendering than the Lemmy website UI, specifically with the spoiler tags

the language is called “Markdown”, same as what Reddit and Discord use, as well as many others

yea tlnet is perfect, thank you! subscribed

TL.net would be great for esports news https://tl.net/rss/news.xml

if tl is too short for a community name, maybe tl_net or teamliquid_net or something like that

it will be a good source to cross-post from (I wish Lemmy users used cross-posting more)
