Oh, okay. Citing the specs is a good argument killer.

There's a Closed Issue relating to this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3540
From there you can navigate to the right place to open a new Issue if you want.

That's arguably the expected behaviour - for a discussion, 'link' effectively takes you to the comments, for an article (or a link to a image), it takes you there instead.

You could use 'guid' instead - that always links to the post on Lemmy, and it usually contains a useful thing on other sites' RSS feeds.

andrew_s,

Oh right, yeah. I was thinking more of the images that people link to with posts. Lemmy currently sends those out, with

"attachment": [
    {
      "href": "<a href="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e798447e-a79f-45b2-b3da-3aa669cbc0e5.png" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank">https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e798447e-a79f-45b2-b3da-3aa669cbc0e5.png</a>",
      "type": "Link"
    }
  ]

But there's nowhere in entire JSON for any alt-text. The plan is to add alt-text as a 'name' in there.

In-line images do prove a point for the OP, though. A Lemmy comment with one will be sent out as
&lt;img src="<a href="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9d483052-29b6-4d34-baaf-3ee092be9718.png" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank">https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9d483052-29b6-4d34-baaf-3ee092be9718.png</a>" alt="bear vs man in woods meme" /> in the 'content' field, but Mastodon expects all images to be attachments, so it just completely ignores it. (compare https://lemmy.zip/comment/10342640 with https://mastodon.social/@Honytawk@lemmy.zip/112438348076482957).

That sounds like a tricky combination. Wherever you go, they'll be a good chunk of users who are unaware of / indifferent to how well the app they're using interacts with other Fediverse platforms. Mastodon has the userbase, and - as you say - is the place where the serious discussion of accessibility takes place.

As for Lemmy - it doesn't yet support alt-text, but when it does, I believe that the plan is to follow Mastodon's format (i.e. a 'name' field in the 'attachment' array)

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

Oh. If you're viewing this post from a Lemmy instance, there's a comment tree missing because Lemmy didn't sign its request for the Mastodon user's details. Hopefully, this'll come in 0.19.4

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

Yeah - I think anything the UI is doing, it's getting the info from the API, so the poster would've had to use the 'cross-post' feature. There are some apps (e.g. Voyager) that try to wrangle cross-posts by title or URL, but title-matching can give false postives, and URL-matching usually assumes that one link hasn't picked up some cruft, and it can't do much for uploaded images if the poster didn't cross-post (because it'll be 2 different files with different URLs)

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

Oh, right. Sorry. I've gone back and checked the post I was thinking of when I made that comment, and - yeah - it turns out I was misremembering / didn't properly investigate the first time.

There was a great windows app called 'dvdshrink' that let you rip commercial DVDs onto blank DVDs (shrinking them if necessary). It got taken down with a Cease & Desist, but the MPAA or whoever didn't worry about who took the domain. For a long time, the site was just filled with ads instead - now it's a bit more sophisticated: no real link to download the software, but lots of genuine-seeming donation requests.

The fake site is at the first search result for that software (edit: it's probably best not to link directly to it)

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

The video was recording a VM that had been tunnelled through to with ngrok, so the HTTP details were from that software's 'Inspect' window.

(I don't know how best to configure your server to ignore the errors, because Rust is too scary, ha ha).

Might just be 'cos LW is currently sending every activity out twice. Video from earlier today: https://imgur.com/a/lX0LPZk

You could probably tail your nginx log in another terminal to see if the journalctl errors match up with 400 errors for duplicates there..

Might not be this, of course (could just be that I saw this earlier, and it's influencing my thinking)

Have just seen your edit.

No idea whether you'll get this or not. You should do, even it's only as an Inbox message (sent if there's no subscribers to this community on lemm.ee, because it'll reject this if that's the case).

My first reply made it to lemmy.ml (see https://lemmy.ml/post/15165488), so that suggests the federation issue was on Lemmy's end, not PieFed's. (I'll see if this reply makes it to .ml, to confirm).

Edit: actually, just checked lemme.ee, and this reply is there, so 'Ner', and indeed, 'Ner'.

"No", and "No". More info here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/18710212 (includes reply from Nutomic)

The error you saw in your logs is due to a recently fixed bug: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4658

Decades ago, my school's drug info was similar: every drug had a single entry ('euphoria') in the Pros column and a massive list (ending with death) for the Cons column.

I saw some criticism of Netflix's 'Ripley' adaption, based on the fact that Andrew Scott is in his late 40s, so his character (and all associated characters) had to be maybe in their late 30s but not much younger. They said that a father wouldn't be as interested in him returning the USA in the same way that he would be if his son was in his early 20s (as in the 'Talented Mr. Ripley' film). I thought they could just add a line from the father, saying he'd tolerated his son galivanting around Europe until now, but now needed him home because his father was starting to consider retirement and wanted him to take over the business.

I'm not sure that it ever quite worked - the videos currently on Lemmy are likely to ones brought in manually, rather than new ones that have come in via federation.

The community copies (on lemmy.ml, endlesstalk.org, etc) all show 0 subscribers. At a guess, it's because the format of the Followers collection on PeerTube is slightly different - it doesn't have the empty 'items' array that Lemmy expects, so it just rejects it. As such, any new posts will also get rejected by Lemmy (the same way it does if a community genuinely does have 0 subscribers). A couple of Updates have come through, so maybe Updates circumvent that check.

andrew_s,
@andrew_s@piefed.social avatar

Congrats. Tesseract has always been very impressive.

This post suggests there's a problem with Lemmy/PeerTube federation, but it'll be good to see the videos embedded (even if they have to be brought through manually)

Fetishes are irrational by definition. They're not passed down - they come about from childhood hang-ups (no-one wants to be eaten by a bear because their father or grandfather wanted to be eaten by a bear).

Would Lemmy Benefit from Implementing Polls? (slrpnk.net)

A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I’m not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn’t see much juice on the topic, so thought I’d spark it up....

It's a proper ActivityPub feature

Looks interesting - I imagine there's lot of uses for this. I currently use ngrok to tunnel from 443 to a local server, which is good way to test fediverse apps, but I wouldn't be able to use bore for that (because it only assigns random public ports above 1024, and doesn't deal with the SSL end of things)

Have you been playing with language settings? This post is in 'Akan', but your previous posts are a mix of 'English' and 'Undefined'.

If you've removed 'English' as a language you understand, the posts from 3 hours and 3 days ago won't be visible to you.
