Azzu,

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just "hear them out". They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there's no reason for that if it's something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not "zero risk", you can not slip up ever, or you're going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of "zero risk".

Azzu,

I don't think your assumption on how well I understand how the professional world works is correct.

I understand very well that signing any NDA is by no means "zero risk", it has a definite risk attached to it. Declining it is costly in some way, but also has definite advantages.

I also understand that very rarely is the phrasing ever "this conversation will be off the record", but rather some phrasing including the specific topics that may not be shared, like you say for example, product details. Blanket phrasings like this are always very sketchy.

Azzu,

Also works on Android on Firefox with TamperMonkey, that's what I'm mainly using it on. Also only tested it on Firefox, no idea about Chrome or anything else.

Azzu,

That's already known, see "Coming soon".

Azzu,

Went to bed after I posted this. Will take a look in a bit.

Azzu, (edited )

Need to get a bit of feedback from you.

Any errors in the browser console (F12 by default)? So go to lemmy.ca, press F12, make sure the console is open, refresh, look for red error messages. If there are, copy them to me.

Azzu,

What addon are you using for userscripts?

Azzu,

Alrighty, try updating, I've released a new version.

Azzu,

That error's irrelevant. Can you check that you have version 1.0.2 not 1.0.1?

Azzu,

Yep I fucked up :D

Azzu,

Go to https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-rewrite-links-to-home-instance and press the button there. There's probably some throttling or whatever.

Azzu,

Yeah no idea, you can change DEBUG from true to false and see if it's outputting any messages at all. I'd probably need to do some more advanced debugging steps, idk if you're willing to do that

Azzu,

Maybe try violentmonkey instead of greasemonkey, which does not seem to be in development anymore.

Azzu,

Does it work again when you do a full refresh? So F5/press enter in the adress bar? If so then somehow listening to page changes is broken for you, lemmy doesn't actually load new pages when you click on an (instance-local) link, it just exchanges all the content within the currently loaded page.

Azzu,

I'm going to add a lot of logging and then give you a new version to try, then you can give me logs so I can diagnose this. There must be something weird about your setup, though I can't guess what.

Azzu,

Wild idea, but could it just be that you're using it wrong? :D if you're on lemmy.ca then almost nothing should be rewritten because almost all links already go to lemmy.ca. Only when you go to another instance somehow or a user posts a link, for example this one then it should be rewritten.

Anyway though, here is a debug version of the script: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2561468/raw/main/lemmy.user.js

To use, open the browser console, unselect all message types at the top right (errors, warnings, logs...) except for the "Debug" message type, then reload the page and right-click -> send me all messages.

Azzu,

Very weird :D glad it works now though :)

Azzu,

The functionality in this script is indeed only possible as an addon or userscript. Browsers specifically spent a lot of work trying to make it impossible for one site to get any information about which other sites the user visited, and for good reason. Just imagine the phishing this would allow if it were possible.

That said, there could of course be an official lemmy browser addon/userscript for this functionality. But it definitely wouldn't be baked into the sites themselves.

Because idk if you noticed, but this script actually rewrites all links everywhere, so for example even if you get a result to some lemmy instance on duckduckgo, the link on duckduckgo itself will already point to your instance. Please tell me how that would be possible without an addon/userscipt :D

Azzu,

I'm sure they could've already been profitable a long time ago if they hadn't 1400 employees or something and creating NFTs and shit.

Azzu,

Stop using "All" "Hot/Active/Top" feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to "Subscribed".

Azzu,

You could just make a simple duplicate email check with special special handling of gmails + and . behavior, and notify the user if they try to create an account for an already registered email.

OC While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen

Apps are always nice, but lots of mobile websites, including the kbin one, are entirely functional as an app. In your browser you can just make a shortcut to them, and they'll appear on your home screen and act as an app....

Screenshot of kbin on Firefox, with the Install button. Then the kbin icon on the home screen. Then kbin opened from the shortcut
Azzu,

On Firefox for Android this feature exists for literally all websites, and thus also for Lemmy. It does a full refresh but it's basically the same.

Azzu,

If you're on Firefox you can also use Tampermonkey and my link rewriter for it :) https://feddit.de/post/1025735

Obviously this is good :D but how they're expressing this makes it sound as if they hadn't known that gameplay updates were popular with the players.

Of course they knew that, they're not totally incompetent. Just like any corporation, battle pass was prioritized because it generated the most revenue.

But now they noticed, that maybe only focusing on the battle pass and (eventually) losing all players who are the ones buying the battle pass is actually pretty bad for battle pass sales as well, since the people buying the battlepass would just not be there anymore to buy it.

So of course now they move back to more focus on gameplay updates, to get more/retain customers for the battle pass.

Of course they can't say it like this, that's why they have to sound as if they were incompetent and really thought cosmetics rather than gameplay updates were the most important thing for the players.
